beehiivThe playbook
- 1List every competitor + adjacent tool
Direct (Substack, ConvertKit) + adjacent (Mailchimp, Constant Contact). 15-20 entries.
- 2Build a programmatic comparison template
Feature-by-feature matrix, honest about what you're worse at. Honesty ranks; biased puff doesn't.
- 3Add a migration path for each
'Coming from ConvertKit? Here's how to import in 4 clicks.' Removes the switching cost objection.
- 4Pair with the founder's narrative
Tyler's 'Why we left Morning Brew to build beehiiv' essay drove the brand authority that made the comparison pages credible.
