What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

You won’t know until you try out multiple options and find out which is the best way for you.
The two email platforms I know that help you monetize your newsletters are:
Display ads in emails
FDA chief wary of federal recommendations for Covid-19 vaccines - Politico
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)).
Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers
Derek Jeter Shares Brutal Reality for Yankees After Dodgers Loss - Sports Illustrated
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.
