Steal this playbook
- Import past issues from beehiiv, Kit or a public archive and train a voice model on them (sourced, site)
- Watch RSS feeds, sites, subreddits and YouTube channels; rank new stories by fit (sourced)
- Write the draft in the writer's voice; the writer edits and sends, nothing auto-publishes (sourced)
- Push unsent drafts into beehiiv; copy-paste for other platforms (sourced)
- Sell plans from $39 to $499/mo plus done-for-you newsletters (sourced, TrustMRR)
- MVP: voice-matched drafts for one platform's archive, sold to a few writers (suggested)

- Revenue claim
- MRR $616; $3,145 last 30 days; $18,554 last 12 months; all-time $18,554; 5 active subscriptions (as of Oct 30, 2026)
TrustMRR: revenue verified via Stripe API key, last synced Oct 30, 2026 (17:51 UTC); Google Analytics and Search Console connected (re-checked live at merge Oct 30, 2026: MRR $616, 5 active subscriptions, $3,145 last 30 days; matches the curator snapshot)
Receipt: trustmrr.com, heynews.co, heynews.co
Risks: Flagged, revenue mostly not recurring: $3,145 in the last 30 days is about 5.1x the $616 MRR, and a single $2,556 payment on Oct 10 makes up most of it (TrustMRR daily revenue); done-for-you or one-off payments likely explain the gap (our inference), so MRR is the figure to judge it by. Small recurring base: 5 active subscriptions, and MRR fell 16.0% in the last 30 days (TrustMRR). Monthly revenue is lumpy ($19.50 in Jun 2026, $3,145 in Oct 2026). Not solo as run: two founders. Drafts land in beehiiv only on a paid beehiiv plan with approved draft access (site). LLM costs rise with every draft and revision (suggested).
