What’s the best way to monetize email subscribers?

The two email platforms I know that help you monetize your newsletters are:

You won’t know until you try out multiple options and find out which is the best way for you.

Meanwhile, Substack could still be a better option if you like its overall features better….it does have some that aren’t available on beehiiv (especially community-building features like chats, discussion threads, and Notes (aka Twitter clone)).
