# How CEO.com Scaled to 50K+ Subscribers With beehiiv

**CEO.com** didn’t start out as a newsletter. It started with a simple idea: interview CEOs from around the world and share what they know.

Over time, the team realized that these conversations shouldn’t live in a vacuum. They needed a consistent way to share insights with a wider audience—and a newsletter felt like the right fit.

“We have been interviewing CEOs across the globe and decided it would be worthwhile to share the content in a newsletter format,” says Nate Heaps.

That decision sparked a slow and steady journey. From an initial few hundred subscribers to a growing list of nearly **50,000 readers**, CEO.com has become a go-to resource for curated leadership insights.

And powering that growth behind the scenes? beehiiv.

## **From 0 to 1,000: A Slow and Steady Climb**

Starting from zero is never easy.

“The process of growing from 0 to 1,000 subscribers was difficult at times,” Nate says. “You want to see a newsletter take off, but in reality, that isn’t always the case.”

Like most [successful newsletters](/blog/inside-the-most-successful-newsletters-of-2024), the CEO.com team didn’t chase hacks or gimmicks. They showed up, delivered value, and stayed consistent. And it worked.

Today, **CEO.com has grown to nearly 50,000 subscribers**—leaders, operators, and aspiring executives who turn to the newsletter for insights from global CEOs.

“Subscribers come with consistency,” Nate explains. “We just kept publishing quality content.”

### **Using Social Media to Amplify the Newsletter**

## **Steady Growth With a Few Big Leaps**
