Boosts | Monetize

Module 6 — Lesson 33

Remember how we talked about Boosts in module 4? Well, here’s the other side of Boosts. Boosts Monetize allows you to earn money for every subscriber you recommend to a boosted newsletter.

  1. Browse our library of available newsletters

  2. Add them as a boosted recommendation

  3. Sit back and get paid 😎

So how exactly does it work?

Under Monetization → Boosts in the sidebar you can access your new Dashboard.

This is where you will…

  • access the Boosts Marketplace

  • add and manage Boosts to your account

  • track your performance and earnings

  • access your beehiiv Wallet to withdraw realized earnings

In the top right corner, you can click Explore offers to access the Marketplace.

💡 Note: you’ll need to create and sync a Stripe account to be able to apply and Boost newsletters. This is how you’ll get paid and withdraw funds from your beehiiv Wallet. On average, it takes 3-5 minutes to setup your Stripe account, and only needs to be done once.

Making a few simple assumptions based on historical data we have on Recommendations, you can be making nearly $150,000 /year in totally incremental revenue… with just a moderately growing list.

And a few notes as to why this is so remarkably powerful…

  • Revenue on autopilot — after adding a few Boosts you can sit back, relax, and cash in. No wrangling back and forth with vendors, timely configuration, or work required at all.

  • No code needed — Boosts are integrated directly into your newsletter’s ecosystem on beehiiv and don’t require any custom scripts, APIs, or janky configurations.

  • Quality newsletters — beehiiv is home to some of the world’s most notable and fastest growing newsletters. You have direct access to promote these reputable newsletters and share the upside of their growth.

  • First party data — you never need to depend on third party platforms or vendors to validate your earnings or confirm the performance of your campaigns.

  • Single platform — no need to pay for and manage multiple accounts across multiple platforms. Simplify your stack.

  • Get started in minutes — at this very moment as you’re reading this… you’re just a few clicks away from monetizing.

To fund your Boost account…

  1. Click on Wallet

3. Click on Add funds

4. Go to checkout.stripe.com. It is important to note if you don't have an active stripe account setup and connected to your account you will need to do that first before you can add funds.

5. Enter the amount you would like to deposit into your account. Min $50 and up to $10,000. If you would like to deposit more than $10,000 you can do so in multiple deposits.

6. Click on Pay $50.00 to submit deposit

7. You will now be able to see your funds live and active inside your wallet

8. Now to apply and use these funds within a boost simply click on "Monetization"

9. Click on Boosts…

10. Then click on "Get Started" to set up your first boost offer

What do Boosts look like for your new subscribers?

After subscribing to your publication, they’ll be asked if they want to subscribe to other publications you recommend. Boosts look the same as recommendations except they have “Sponsored” at the top in gray.

(If you Boost more than 3 publications, you can choose to rotate them or pin a 1-2 and rotate one slot.)

Here’s how it works:
