If you're a freelancer running a newsletter, podcast, or online course, you know the pain of juggling multiple platforms — one for emails, one for webinars, one for monetization. Beehiiv just announced a major set of updates that could replace several of those tools at once, positioning itself as an all-in-one hub for independent creators.The biggest addition is a built-in webinar feature, letting you host live events for up to 10,000 attendees directly inside Beehiiv — complete with video, screen sharing, and chat.

You can charge for access in multiple currencies or offer it for free to grow your audience. For freelancers selling coaching, courses, or consulting, this alone could eliminate the need for a separate Zoom or webinar subscription.

The platform also added native podcast hosting last month, and now layers in AI analytics — so you can ask plain-language questions about your audience data without digging through dashboards.
