You know you're a newsletter creator when...

PLUS: newsletter question of the week

Hello to 1,451 newsletter creators!

This is Fatherpreneur, the newsletter about newsletters that's written by a dad with a mustache who's been writing newsletters for 10 years.

Today's issue is experimental. The format: 4 Tweets and a Question of the Week. I'd love it if you could respond to my poll at the bottom with your thoughts.

You know you’re a newsletter creator when…

… you meet someone IRL and you tell them you write a newsletter and they don’t understand why that’s worth mentioning or a big deal at all, so you basically have to explain to them that your newsletter is actually a media vertical (a term they are not familiar with), and by the end of the conversation you end up just telling them you’re a journalist and you give up trying to make it make sense to them.

Win a Month of beehiiv

Thanks for joining. This week was full of excitement, so to top it off, I’m giving away a month of Scale on beehiiv to one lucky creator.

This week we launched a new creator marketplace directly inside of beehiiv, and it’s going to completely change the way creators grow and monetize their newsletters. I think Matt McGarry explains it well so I’ll just plop his thread right here.

Matt’s a fellow newsletter connoisseur and writes a phenomenal newsletter about newsletters.

Sound familiar?

Matt’s helped countless newsletters grow to be what they are today — newsletters like The Hustle, Milk Road, 1440, and more. If you’re trying to grow a newsletter, it’s definitely worth subscribing to Matt’s (he’s not even paying me to say this. Actually he doesn’t even know I’m saying this!)
