Updating your beehiiv profile

Your beehiiv profile displays your name and photo as the author of your newsletter, providing readers with a clear view of who creates the content they receive.

 

 

When a reader clicks your author name, they’ll see your bio, social links (if provided), and all the posts on the publication where you’re credited as an author.

 

 

Your profile information, including your bio, will also appear on your author page if you’ve enabled it in your account.

Quick tips to get you started

• All beehiiv publication sites come equipped with an Authors Page that can be activated at any time.
  •  For more information on how to enable your author page, please read this article. 
• Your profile is unique to your account. If you are a team member of another publication, your profile settings will also appear there when your name is selected as an author.
  •  For more information on how to add team members to your publication, please refer to this article.
• If you are a guest author on a publication, your profile information won’t be automatically linked. The publication admin will need to manually add your details.
  • Please refer to this article for information about adding guest authors to your publication.
• The gray and white social icons at the top of your published posts are social sharing links, not your personal social profiles. These icons enable your readers to share your entire newsletter on social media platforms like Facebook or X (formerly Twitter).
  
  
• The social links you add to your profile are specifically for your personal author bio, not for your publication.
  • To learn more about adding your publication links, please refer to this article. 
• Your profile image is not the same as your publication logo in beehiiv. 
  • Please refer to this article for more information about adding your logo to your publication.
