About Beyond the Headlines

The community presents its coverage as strategic insight rather than fear-based news.[1] Alongside the news, it offers trainings, templates and courses for people starting a business or scaling one.[1] Membership comes in three tiers named News Only, Premium and VIP.[1] The listing addresses entrepreneurs, side hustlers, content creators, investors and affiliate marketers.[1]

BTH is run by Ashley Ann, whose own site lists the private group and describes Ashley Ann as a full-time business builder and part-time content creator.[2] The site also sells beginner and intermediate business courses, a Targeting Masterclass, Business 101 and a Faceless Content Workshop, along with 1-on-1 work, a 12 Week Mentorship and workshops.[2] It advertises done-for-you media buying and ads management, websites and social media management, links to a business-services brand called The Help Agency, and takes bookings for Ashley Ann to speak or train.[2]
