What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers

The two email platforms I know that help you monetize your newsletters are:

Join beehiiv’s affiliate program

The Earth's rotation can be used to generate electricity, as American scientists confirm a two-century-old hypothesis. - Stewartville Star

You won’t know until you try out multiple options and find out which is the best way for you.

Earn money by recommending other beehiiv newsletters

Substack

Sydney Sweeney Gained More Than 30 Pounds, Trained for ‘Three and a Half Months’ for Christy Martin Biopic: ‘My Boobs Got Bigger. And My Butt Got Huge’ - Variety

Another difference between the two platforms is that Substack doesn’t encourage promoting your personal and affiliate products in emails, but beehiiv does.

Display ads in emails

So, if you’re looking for more ways to monetize your newsletter, beehiiv is the way to go.

Meanwhile, Substack could still be a better option if you like its overall features better….it does have some that aren’t available on beehiiv (especially community-building features like chats, discussion threads, and Notes (aka Twitter clone)).
