What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

Earn money by recommending other beehiiv newsletters

Substack

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

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)).

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

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

We will not stay silent on vaccines, say leaders of five major U.S. medical associations - STAT

Join beehiiv’s affiliate program

beehiiv

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