| I’ll let you in on a little secret: I launched my personal newsletter in January and now have over 70,000 active subscribers — nearly 25,000 of whom came from Boosts. | Boosts isn’t a quick fix for rapid growth, but by carefully partnering with the right newsletters, you can achieve high-quality, efficient subscriber growth. | Over the past several months, we’ve been hard at work revamping the Boosts ecosystem, and I’m thrilled to unveil these latest improvements today. | The new Boosts experience is designed to deliver greater transparency, smarter automation, and optimized spending. ✨ |
| | |
| | | Let’s start with a quick refresher: Boosts is the simplest way to both grow and monetize your newsletter. | For those looking to grow… | Scaling your audience with engaged subscribers has never been easier. Here’s how it works: | Create an offer with the price you’re willing to pay per new subscriber. Fund your wallet to activate the offer. Accept applications from publications that want to Boost your newsletter.
| You only pay for qualified, engaged subscribers. And thanks to today’s updates, the entire process is now faster and much more efficient 💪 . | For those looking to monetize… | Browse the Boosts marketplace, where thousands of quality newsletters are willing to pay you a few dollars for every new subscriber you send their way. |  | Boosts Marketplace |
| You can promote their newsletter in one of three ways: | After a new reader subscribes to your newsletter. Within your newsletter as an Email Boost. Directly through a link (like an affiliate program).
|  | Boosting other newsletters |
| Either way, you earn money when you drive new readers to subscribe to their newsletter. |
| | |
| | | Managing dozens (or even hundreds) of pending Boost applications used to be a challenge. That’s why we’re introducing a sleek new UI, advanced filtering, and bulk-action tools to make growing your Boosts network a breeze. |  | Transparent applications |
| What’s new: | Enhanced UI: Access clear, first-party data for each application, helping you quickly evaluate opportunities with confidence. Advanced Filters: Search and filter applications based on specific criteria. Bulk Actions: Accept or decline multiple applications simultaneously.
| For example, let’s say my newsletter Big Desk Energy currently has 76 pending applications. Using the new tools, I can filter based on the following parameters: | English-language newsletters U.S.-based subscribers Open rates above 30% Subscriber counts above 5,000 At least 25 published posts
| Select all. Accept. Done ✅. | | On the flip side, I can quickly filter out newsletters with non-English audiences or open rates below 30% and auto-decline them in bulk. | The result? Only a handful of applications remain for manual review, saving me hours of time. 🚀 | | Note: Boosts are limited to users on our paid plans. To learn more about our most popular plans, click here. |

| | | To take this one step further, we also created Auto-Accept Rules. | Now, you can set rules based on your chosen filters, and beehiiv will automatically accept applications that meet your criteria — no manual action needed. | | For example, let’s revisit the filter example from earlier. I could turn those parameters (e.g., English-language newsletters with >30% open rates and >5,000 subscribers) into a hard auto-accept rule. From that point on, any application meeting those requirements would be approved automatically. | This means I can continue growing my audience instantly, without lifting a finger — saving time, maximizing growth, and minimizing effort. 🙂 | | Note: Boosts are limited to users on our paid plans.

| | |
| | | We’ve also introduced Auto-Pause Rules to streamline campaign performance management. | Previously, you had to manually monitor and pause underperforming Boosts. With Auto-Pause, you can create rules that automatically stop campaigns when specific performance thresholds aren’t met. | | For example, once a newsletter sends me 100 subscribers, if their aggregate open rate drops below 20%, my auto-pause rule will cancel that Boost and stop further spending with that partner. | This ensures every dollar you invest is going toward campaigns delivering real, quality, results. | | Note: Boosts are limited to users on our paid plans.
