If you pay attention to NYC media, you've probably noticed something: a new wave of independent newsletters is growing faster than anyone expected.

Hyperlocal, niche, high-quality content — almost all of it built on beehiiv.

The platform was created by the team that scaled Morning Brew to millions of readers. It gives independent creators the same infrastructure big media companies use: referral programs, recommendations, an ad network, and analytics that actually matter.

We've been running The Metro Intel on beehiiv for over a year. If you're thinking about starting your own newsletter — or you're already writing one and not growing the way you want — it's worth a look.

So do Codie Sanchez, Scott Galloway, Colin & Samir, Shaan Puri, and Jay Shetty. And none of them are doing it for fun. They're doing it because a list you own compounds in ways that social media never will.

beehiiv is where they built it. You can start yours for 30% off your first 3 months with code PLATFORM30. Start building today.
