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:
Join beehiiv’s affiliate program
China's electric cars are cheaper, but is there a deeper cost? - BBC
Another difference between the two platforms is that Substack doesn’t encourage promoting your personal and affiliate products in emails, but beehiiv does.
Monetize access to your content with subscription tiers
beehiiv
How do you fight the push and pull (manipulation) tactic if you want to win him?
Substack
Earn money by recommending other beehiiv newsletters
Display ads in emails
Apple quietly makes running Linux containers easier on Macs - ZDNet
So, if you’re looking for more ways to monetize your newsletter, beehiiv is the way to go.
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)).
