Earn money by recommending other beehiiv newsletters
The two email platforms I know that help you monetize your newsletters are:
Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers
Harris Yulin, 'Scarface' and 'Ghostbusters II' actor, dies at 87: 'One of the greatest' - USA Today
Substack
Join beehiiv’s affiliate program
beehiiv
Climate change is boosting the risk of sleep apnea - NPR
Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers
Display ads in emails
You won’t know until you try out multiple options and find out which is the best way for you.
When should I use the best sunscreen for oily skin?
So, if you’re looking for more ways to monetize your newsletter, beehiiv is the way to go.
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)).
