How to Start a Newsletter Without Losing Your Mind?

I’ve always believed that I’ve got something valuable to share through my writing. But just keeping my work in Google Docs or letting it sit on a blog wasn’t enough anymore.

So I took the leap. I started my own newsletter.

Please scratch that. Actually, I started two. Yep — one on Substack and the other on Beehiiv.

Crazy? Maybe.

Worth it? 1000% yes.

Why Two Newsletters, Though?

Let me explain.

Both Substack and Beehiiv are robust platforms for launching a newsletter, but they each have unique features.

• Substack is super simple to use and makes it easy to build a reader-supported community. It feels like blogging, but cooler.

Beehiiv is a beast when it comes to growth tools — built-in referrals, clean design, and decent monetization opportunities.

So instead of picking one, I tried both.

• One for my Jiu-Jitsu fans.

• One for my writing and growth crew.

And yes, I wear multiple hats.
