The MilSpo Minute Overview

The MilSpo Minute is a newsletter that supports military spouses and their lifestyles.

The newsletter was created on the back end of the MilHousing Network (which supports spouses of military personnel as they buy, sell, and relocate homes along their journey).

Ashley started the weekly newsletter nine months ago as a way to market the MilHousing Network as well as support its audience as they navigate through the unique challenges of being a military spouse.

Ashley shared, “Our community is made up of military spouses, members, and veterans. They are always moving, ever-growing, and looking for new things to try in their homes.”

Earnings Hundreds of Dollars in Minutes Each Month

In September 2023, Ashley Williams started her beehiiv newsletter. And, just two months ago, she decided to take the leap and begin testing out the Ad Network as a revenue stream.

When asked about the transition of incorporating ads into her newsletter through the Ad Network, Williams mentioned that it’s been a smooth process.

Williams shared, “Including the ad section in our newsletter has been such an easy transition. It fits nicely, allows us to choose the layout that fits our aesthetic, and assures us that we only include products that we think our audience will entertain!”

So far, Williams has been impressed at how easy it is to accept and place ads from sponsors, without very little effort on their end.

Williams explained, “The Ad Network is an absolute no-brainer! You always have the choice of whether to accept or decline any ad offers, and you get to choose the layout and where it fits into your publication.”

They went on to explain that all they have to do is focus on your newsletter and monetizing is an easy process.

Williams shared, “Another huge benefit is that the advertisers bring their propositions to you. There is no work on your part, aside from accepting and including within your publication. This effectively monetizes the work you are already doing, while you work on growing and obtaining sponsors.”

The MilSpo Minute has placed a variety of sponsored ads from different sponsors through the beehiv Ad Network.

Williams shared, “Our military families loved Hungryroot, but Mood Gummies has also been a huge hit!”
