What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

Earn money by recommending other beehiiv newsletters

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

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

This Week’s Sex Diary: The Lawyer Who Called Off Her Wedding Two Weeks Ago - The Cut

Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers

Display ads in emails

Substack

Trump has a plan to remake the housing-finance system. It’s baffling to many lawmakers and experts. - Politico

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

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)).
