About this episode

Most newsletter creators treat platform updates like weather: something to endure. But on October twenty second, two thousand twenty six, the real question is whether Substack and Beehiiv are building stable infrastructure or moving goalposts. We look at how top creators adapt their sending cadence and segmentation when the underlying recommendation engines shift, using a specific case study of a creator who lost forty percent of their open rates after a quiet algorithm tweak last month. This episode breaks down the technical reality of email deliverability versus platform discovery, and why relying on a single channel’s internal feed is a strategic error for any business-focused publication. #NewsletterBusiness #SubstackStrategy #BeehiivGrowth #EmailDeliverability #CreatorEconomy #MarketingTactics #PlatformRisk #AudienceRetention #DigitalPublishing #ContentMonetization #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #MarketingNews #SubscriberGrowth #AlgorithmChanges #DirectToConsumer #MediaBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
