Do you have your own email newsletter?

This post may contain affiliate links and/or ads. See our disclosure policy.

No matter your industry, your products, your services, even if you’re an influencer, you should have your own email newsletter.

With an email newsletter, you’re building an asset, a way to connect with your audience independent of having to “run more ads”, or hope for the algorithm to show your post to your audience.

We’ve worked with dozens of newsletter platforms and recommend and use BeeHiiv instead of any other platform.

The main reason is as of now they don’t charge until you either reach 2,500 subscribers or when you use their monetization features.

When you are ready to monetize your newsletter, they are hands down the best at newsletter monetization. The two main methods of newsletter monetization they support are:

1. referring your audience to other newsletters and getting paid per subscriber you refer

2. getting paid to place ads in your newsletter

To start, we offered $3.75 per subscriber to this newsletter (to test it out and to grow our newsletter), BeeHiiv takes 20% of this or $0.75 and other newsletters receive $3 a subscriber for successfully referring subscribers to this newsletter.

Within hours there were a handful of applications from other newsletters to promote this one, we approved a few and have been steadily getting subscribers. We received 6 new subscribers within 24 hours of posting the newsletter boost offer into the marketplace.

Now that we have a cost effective method for promoting this newsletter (in addition to standard online advertising options) to drive subscribers to the newsletter, we were wondering how long would it take to breakeven/profit from those new subscribers?

Without any effort at all, we received by email an offer to place an ad in our newsletter. While Mood Gummies has nothing to do with this newsletter/our target market, because they were the first to reach out, and we wanted to learn more about and post about newsletter monetization, we accepted their offer.

Once we accepted their offer to advertise in our newsletter, we were shown 5 creative versions available (various content blocks for an email):

Once we chose one, they asked for us to review and accept:

Then we were able to add this ad to this email:

Here’s the ad we chose out of the 5 available ads:

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

Imagine if you already have a newsletter and you bring over your subscribers who opted in to receive email from you to BeeHiiv and now you’re able to get paid either per subscriber you refer to other newsletters and/or per click when you put ads in your newsletters. This new monetization stream can be used for more ads for your newsletter/products/services or to offset other business expenses.
