What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?
Last Updated: 02.07.2025 04:20
The two email platforms I know that help you monetize your newsletters are:
Substack
Join beehiiv’s affiliate program
L.A. Dodgers, facing fan pressure, pledge $1M after immigration raids - The Washington Post
Display ads in emails
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)).
beehiiv
S&P Dow Jones Makes No Changes to S&P 500 in Quarterly Rebalance - Bloomberg
Another difference between the two platforms is that Substack doesn’t encourage promoting your personal and affiliate products in emails, but beehiiv does.
