Email Newsletter Sponsorships With Premium Brands

The Ad Network is available to anyone on a paid plan who is actively sending on beehiiv. We'll start sending you relevant ad opportunities as we have them!

Payouts are sent on the 20th of each month for the prior month's ad units. For example, on February 20th, you would be paid out for all ad revenue earned in January. All payments are sent straight to your beehiiv wallet.

We use Stripe as our main payment processing partner. First, you'll need to complete Stripe Identity Verification. From there, your payments will be processed through Stripe and deposited into your beehiiv wallet.

Payouts are sent on the 20th of each month for the prior month's ad units. For example, on February 20th, you would be paid for all January ad revenue earned.

All beehiiv ad campaign payouts are based on either CPC (Cost Per Click) or CPM (Cost Per Mille or 1,000 views).

CPC is calculated based on the number of unique clicks the sponsored links receive in your newsletter. For example, if the CPC for a campaign is $2 and your sponsored send receives 100 clicks, your payout would be 100 * $2, or $200.

CPM is calculated based on the number of unique opens that your sponsored send receives. For example, if the CPM for a campaign is $10 and your sponsored send receives 10,000 opens, your payout would be 10,000 / 1,000 * $10, or $100.

Some ads will perform better than others in your newsletters. Running ads can help you identify which types of brands resonate with your audience. As you run more ads through the Ad Network, you'll see your earnings begin to compound over time. It's a marathon, not a sprint. We share a full performance breakdown for your ads 72 hours after each send.

It's not guaranteed; it's an estimate based on historical performance for your newsletter and on prior campaigns we've run through the beehiiv Ad Network. Just remember that some ads will perform better than others, and we'll use that data to send opportunities that are the best fit for your audience.

Yes, you can. Note, the beehiiv ad would be the primary ad in your newsletter. Also, keep in mind that including too many ads can negatively impact deliverability and email engagement.

No, you don't. With beehiiv, you always have full discretion over whether to move forward with an ad placement. Some ad opportunities might not be a good fit for your newsletter or your audience, and that's fine. There is no requirement to run the ad.

The advertisers we partner with provide multiple versions of their ad placement. We know that the tone and content of an ad are important to our publishers, so we provide you with multiple versions of the ad so you can pick the one that best fits your audience and newsletter content.

Nope! We'll use our internal reporting to see how many opens and clicks the sponsored links received, and then use that to calculate your payout. There's nothing you need to do. However, if you are interested in seeing how any of your ad placements performed, you can go to the sponsored send in the post interface to see how many opens and clicks the sponsored links received.

Yes, you can! We don't require exclusivity to participate in the Ad Network. You can run ads through the beehiiv Ad Network while working with other ad partners or sourcing deals yourself.

Absolutely! You can use paid subscriptions or Boosts to earn revenue too!

Publishers interested in monetizing through ads, but without a dedicated ad sales team, are an ideal fit for the Ad Network. We will do all the heavy lifting for you - from finding you relevant opportunities to providing you with creative assets and even handling reporting back to the advertiser.

Publishers who work directly with advertisers and have open ad slots or remnant inventory can also use the Ad Network. If you have specific dates for which you can't find ad sponsors, you can plug beehiiv ads in on those dates. This prevents you from sending an email without an ad, so you'll never miss an opportunity to monetize.

If you've had an advertiser fall through or have a gap to fill, instead of scrambling for a last-minute advertiser or having to run an email without an ad, you can easily plug in an appropriate ad for your newsletter through the Ad Network.

beehiiv's Ad Network is built specifically for newsletter publishers, bringing sponsor sourcing, creative management, analytics, and payout processing together in one place—no extra tools or manual work required.
