How to Monetize Your Newsletter With Top Sponsors

Monetizing a newsletter through ad placements is one of the best (and most popular) ways creators capitalize on their email list.

These ads are usually very profitable, but many publishers struggle to succeed with them due to lack of time, connections, or experience.

To fill that gap and help thousands of creators, publishers, and businesses monetize their newsletters, we launched the beehiiv Ad Network.

What is the beehiiv Ad Network?

The beehiiv Ad Network allows beehiiv creators to connect with premium brands and earn revenue by featuring ads in their newsletters. Your newsletter can feature ads from some of the world's top companies, ranging from the Fortune 500 to the hottest new startups.

It's like having your very own ad sales team!

beehiiv does everything, from finding advertisers, to sending opportunities to publishers, providing all the ad creative (images, copy, links), reporting back on performance, and managing payments.

That means that as a content creator, you can focus on creating great newsletters while we provide you with premium sponsors and a new revenue stream.

The whole process, from getting started until you get your first payment, is very simple.

Step 1: Apply for Access

Take two minutes and apply for access to our ad network. We'll qualify all applicants and begin sourcing ads.

Step 2: Accept Ad Placements

You'll begin to receive inbound ad opportunities from the beehiiv team. We use target audience guidance from advertisers to find publishers/newsletters that are a good match for the brand, which ensures that you only receive relevant opportunities. You have full discretion over which ads you want to run. We understand that not all brands are a good fit for your newsletter.

Step 3: Get Paid

We’ll provide the payout structure for every ad opportunity we send your way. We’ll tell you how much you earned after the sponsored send goes out, and you'll receive payment a few weeks after the send.

How much could you earn?

Early Success Stories With the beehiiv Ad Network

We launched the Ad Network just a few months ago and have already run several successful ad campaigns. We’ve had nearly 50 publishers participate in our early campaigns. Here are a few success stories.

The Flag is an organization dedicated to nonpartisan news. Their signature morning newsletter aims to provide their readers with “every view of the Red, White, and Blue.”

They’ve already run 10 ads through the beehiiv Ad Network across several different campaigns. They will make over $2K from that, and we are continuing to send them more ad opportunities.

This newsletter by @WOLF_Financial provides investing insights and analysis on a weekly basis.

Even with a relatively smaller audience of 5K subscribers, they have already received eight ad opportunities. Their sponsored sends see strong engagement, and their newsletter is a great fit for our advertising campaigns.

The most subscribed daily AI newsletter (not written by AI) just moved to beehiiv, and we sent them three ad opportunities within their first week of sending.

Since their audience is already above 40k subscribers, we know that this is just the beginning, and that they will reach higher goals fast.

As you can see, it’s pretty simple to go from launch to monetization by leveraging the beehiiv ad network.

If you want to see more comments from early users, you can read this case study from our first campaign where we delivered great results for Morning Brew, while the beehiiv newsletters that got sponsored made some good money.

Why Should I Join the beehiiv Ad Network?

I’ve introduced you to the beehiiv Ad Network, and we’ve discussed how it works, and how to get started. If you are not convinced that this could be an excellent opportunity for your business yet, consider the following reasons as well.

#1: The beehiiv crew will become your sales team

In practice, most creators don't have a sales team to handle direct sales, which makes it difficult for them to grow their newsletter’s revenue through sponsorships.

Another common issue comes when you don’t have the time to consistently reach out to prospect sponsors and keep your pipeline full; you will often lose money whenever a sponsorship deal gets paused or canceled, because new deals can’t be closed overnight.

When you join our Ad Network, the beehiiv team becomes your sales team.

We send you sponsorship opportunities consistently, and you can decide which ones to accept without obligation.

#2: You will stay in charge of your newsletter

The beehiiv Ad Network helps you grow and make more money.

But what’s the best thing? You are still the owner and manager. You still have the final say and discretion over which ads to run. We will send you opportunities, but you can decide which ones to accept and move forward with.

Additionally, you can continue to run ads you have sourced yourself. There is no exclusive commitment to the beehiiv Ad Network. You can use us as your sole source of ads, or as a supplemental source of ads.

Monetizing via ads is just one way to capitalize on your newsletter. You are free to monetize it in any way you want.

#3: This will speed up your way to monetization

Monetization is tough to break into for the first time - especially for small newsletters.

How much would you pay to jump that curve and speed up the process? Many people would pay for it.

With us, you don’t have to pay anything. You just have to apply, get accepted, and start earning. In most cases, finding ad opportunities is only possible if you have the network to tap into. In this case, beehiiv gives you the network.

How much is that worth?

At the end of the day—we're doing this to help you get paid, scale your newsletter, and build sustainable revenue streams.

Do I need to say anything else?
