Substack
Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers
The two email platforms I know that help you monetize your newsletters are:
Microsoft Retires Legendary 'Blue Screen of Death' After 40 Years of Frowny Faces - CNET
Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers
Join beehiiv’s affiliate program
beehiiv
What is Palantir? The secretive tech company behind Trump's data collection efforts - Mashable
Earn money by recommending other beehiiv newsletters
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)).
Display ads in emails
Can both male and female cows be milked? Can bulls also be milked?
You won’t know until you try out multiple options and find out which is the best way for you.
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.
