Overview

beehiiv is a modern newsletter platform that lets creators engage, grow, and monetize their audience in one place. Monetization runs across several stacked streams: Paid Subscriptions (where beehiiv takes zero platform fee, so you keep 100% of subscription revenue minus Stripe's processing fee), the beehiiv Ad Network (a live marketplace of brand ad offers paid on a CPM or CPC basis, with beehiiv sourcing advertisers and handling payments), Boosts (earn by recommending other quality newsletters), and the Partner Program (up to 60% recurring commission for referring paying customers). It's best for writers, operators, and niche-media creators who want to run a newsletter like a media business rather than just an email sender.

💡 Insider tip

Stack the streams: paid subscriptions for predictable recurring revenue (you keep 100% minus Stripe fees), the Ad Network for passive CPM/CPC income, Boosts to grow and earn at the same time, and the Partner Program for up-to-60% referral commission. The Ad Network and most monetization tools live on paid plans, so a free newsletter is your on-ramp, not your earner.

Payout Model

Multiple revenue streams: Paid Subscriptions (beehiiv takes zero revenue share — you keep 100% minus Stripe's industry-standard 2.9% + $0.30/transaction fee); the beehiiv Ad Network (earn via CPM on unique opens or CPC on unique clicks, beehiiv sources advertisers and manages payments via Stripe); Boosts (earn by recommending other newsletters); and the Partner Program (earn up to 60% commission monthly for a full year per paying referral).
