The newsletter began as a way to deepen relationships with users beyond the job-search phase and eventually grew to over 1 million subscribers. ### **Challenge:** As the list scaled, Rohan’s self-hosted solution (Sendy) couldn’t keep up. Major issues included: - Delayed sends (sometimes 24 hours for a single campaign) - Analytics inaccuracies and delayed tracking links - Difficulty debugging tech issues due to limited internal expertise - Concerns over deliverability and subscriber experience at scale He needed a robust, growth-focused platform that could handle high volume, offer accurate metrics, and support monetization via sponsorships. ### **Solution:** Rohan migrated to **beehiiv**, drawn by: - **Enterprise-grade infrastructure** with unlimited sends and high deliverability - **Advanced analytics** and open/click tracking confidence - **A/B testing**, 3D segmentation, and welcome automation features - **Smooth migration support**: warm-up schedules, filtering out inactive users, and third-party validation of emails - **Flexible pricing** not tied to monthly send volumes - A responsive dev team continuously rolling out high-impact features ### **Results:** - Successfully migrated 700,000+ subscribers (on track to complete full migration) - Achieved **50–60% open rates** and strong CTR on active segments - Improved reliability, sending speed, and deliverability - Enabled new revenue streams through newsletter sponsorships ## Related Case Studies ![How The Small Bow Left Substack for beehiiv and Grew Open Rates by 35%](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/ahVlu7K9tuLqEJDp_Untitleddesign-39-.png?auto=format,compress) ### How The Small Bow Left Substack for beehiiv and Grew Open Rates by 35% A recovery newsletter breaks free from Substack, builds its own branded platform on beehiiv, and immediately sees a 35% jump in open rates [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/the-small-bow) ![How TechCrunch Streamlined Editorial Workflows with beehiiv](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/aPdWMrpReVYa3gfP_Untitleddesign-29-.png?auto=format,compress) ### How TechCrunch Streamlined Editorial Workflows with beehiiv The Growth Playbook Powering TechCrunch’s Media Engine [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/techcrunch) ![How a Queer Sports Newsletter Doubled Its Revenue After Leaving Substack](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/agwKIqYofJOwHWi7_Untitleddesign-37-.png?auto=format,compress) ### How a Queer Sports Newsletter Doubled Its Revenue After Leaving Substack Why leaving Substack was the best business decision Frankie de la Cretaz ever made [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/out-of-your-league) ![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,onerror=redirect,format=auto,width=640,quality=75/www/boosts-promo-2x/rockets.svg) ## The Only Writing & Publishing Tool You Need [ Start Your Free Trial ](https://app.beehiiv.com/signup?plan=max)
