Table of contents
Situation
Ben Meer launched System Sunday in 2022 by texting 200 contacts—including his mom—and publishing actionable content around productivity and personal growth. With engaging Twitter threads and strategic CTAs, he hit 1,000 subscribers in 3 weeks. By 2025, his newsletter had grown to over 300,000 subscribers, becoming a trusted source of self-improvement tools and systems.
Challenge
Meer needed a platform that could scale with his growth, offer advanced analytics, streamline automations, and save time as his operation matured. Competing ESPs were too expensive, lacked powerful tracking, or made it harder to manage lead magnets, automations, and monetization at scale.
Solution
Meer switched to beehiiv, leveraging:
- Automated welcome messages and lead magnet delivery
- Superior analytics to track source-level subscriber growth
- Enterprise support and continuous feature updates
- A pricing model that enabled massive scaling without the overhead
Results
- Scaled from 0 to 300,000 subscribers
- Secured a major book publishing deal
- Saved thousands of hours with beehiiv workflows
- Generated 7-figure revenue through newsletter growth
- Built a long-term asset by focusing on email over social platforms
