It's that time of year! We're working on beehiiv's 2027 State of Newsletters Report, and we want to hear from the people building the newsletter industry about where it's heading, what's working, and what's not.
We're especially interested in hearing from established publishers who have grown audiences of 10,000+ subscribers and are experimenting with new ways to grow, engage, and earn revenue. If you have a compelling story or insight to share, we'd love to hear it.
Share specific experiences, surprising results, lessons learned, and bold predictions. Submissions close November 30, 2026.
We are collecting survey data. Responding does not guarantee a place in our publication.
Estimated time: 5–7 minutes.
Link to whichever social platform best represents you or your publication (LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube, etc.).
Tell us about a specific decision, experiment, or turning point. What prompted it, what happened, and what would you do differently?
Think video, podcasts, events, communities, products, or other channels. What connects these parts of your business, and which have proven most valuable?
Share a real example of a growth channel, partnership, format, or retention strategy that exceeded—or fell short of—your expectations. Include numbers if possible.
What monetization strategies have you experimented with, and which have delivered the strongest results? Tell us about a specific success, failure, or unexpected lesson. We'd especially love to hear how you're thinking about revenue growth in 2027.
We want your strongest informed take. What do publishers misunderstand or overvalue, and what have you experienced that challenges the conventional wisdom?
Be specific. What emerging behavior, business model, technology, niche, or distribution shift do you think publishers are overlooking? Why now?
