What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

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

Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers

Substack

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.

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)).
