Archive strategy

Issues should live on Trail Signal, not a random newsletter URL.

The clean setup is: Beehiiv handles sending, subscriptions, and email delivery; trail-signal.com hosts the public issue archive and evergreen guide pages.

Best move

Use Beehiiv for the newsletter backend, then either connect Beehiiv publishing to a custom domain/subdomain or repost each issue here as a canonical web article. That keeps Google, AI search, sponsors, and readers anchored to Trail Signal.

Publishing workflow

  • Publish/send the issue in Beehiiv.
  • Create a web version at /issues/issue-slug.html or through Beehiiv custom domain if configured.
  • Turn durable sections into guide updates under /guides/.
  • Use internal links from each issue to related guides and the PDF lead magnet.

Future issue list

Once the first issues are finalized, this page becomes the public archive with links, summaries, and topic tags.
