Ad Network Spotlight: How Your Extra Paycheck Earns Passive Income

It’s never been easier to build an audience now that we have Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

But the problem is that when you launch on those platforms, you don’t own your audience. That’s one of the reasons long-time YouTuber Chris Myles launched a newsletter on beehiiv.

In January 2024, Myles launched the Your Extra Paycheck newsletter.

In this case study, we break down how Myles has since landed over 12 different sponsors for his newsletter through the beehiiv Ad Network and is generating recurring revenue.

The beehiiv Ad Network lets you seamlessly connect with premium advertisers and (in just a few clicks) insert their ads into your newsletter, so you can tap into easy income.

Let’s dive in!

Your Extra Paycheck Overview

Your Extra Paycheck is a newsletter all about different side hustles you can start to earn that “Extra Paycheck” every single month.

Founded by Chris Myles, the weekly newsletter gets read by 40,000 side hustlers every week to gain tips, insights, and opportunities to build a side hustle online.

Myles shared, “I used side hustles to eventually quit my job to be more available for my family. I want to help busy adults do the same thing.”

From YouTube to Newsletter

In January 2024, Myles launched his beehiiv newsletter as an extension of his YouTube channel to grow his audience and diversify his income.

Myles explained, “I started a YouTube channel and newsletter covering various topics, but I heavily write about YouTube growth.”

Soon after launching on beehiiv, Myles began tapping into the Ad Network, establishing a new side hustle for himself: newsletters.

Myles shared, “The Ad Network is pretty seamless. I get ad opportunities, and I schedule them in my emails.”

For the past year, Myles has enjoyed how easy it’s been to run ads on his newsletter since beehiiv does most of the work.

Myles explained, “It helps me give as much value as possible and not worry about monetization — which helps readers.”

As a side hustle expert, Myles is no newcomer to the online business world, so we asked his thoughts on what makes a newsletter such a good option for a way to make money online.

He shared, “It's never been easier to get your email newsletter sponsored, so you can make money by simply sending emails.”

For the past year, Myles has placed dozens of sponsored ads from a variety of premium brands on Your Extra Paycheck through the beehiiv Ad Network, including HubSpot, Roku, Lysted, AdQuick, Vino Vest, and Plannable. 

He shared how Betterment is his favorite advertiser so far.
