long time or short time?

That’s how long this newsletter has been on Beehiiv. Technically I started on Beehiiv last year on May 27th.

Honestly, with the way things have been going, I didn’t expect to still be using it.

But those reasons aren’t important today.

The Important Stuff

I get a lot of questions about monetizing Beehiiv newsletters.

And I thought 12 months was a good time to look not only at the revenue from Beehiiv ads, but the trends in that revenue.

It’s what I would want to know if I was considering using Beehiiv and monetizing with Beehiiv ads.

And yes, I did a video on the topic.

So, if it’s of interest to you, just do a search on YouTube for: Are Beehiiv ads worth it?

Love you for that.

I’m also working a long ass video of a full directory site build for that site I shared in my previous YouTube video.

P.S. If you’re looking for high level discussions or tips on things like local SEO and Rank & Rent, I highly recommend Jacky Chou’s Advise community. I’ve been in it for over a year now (I think?) and there’s tons of value in it, including a SOP for local SEO.
