Newsletter advertising
Shira describes the click-based ads she has used. She then discusses a marketplace for direct sponsorships.
Shira Lazar is exploring ways to monetize the What’s Trending newsletter and her own newsletter on beehiiv. She says its ad sponsorships can be inserted into a newsletter and pay based on clicks, giving roughly a dollar per click as an example. For her, that return is not worthwhile.
She describes a newer marketplace where a publisher can set up an integration and a fee for direct sponsorships with brands. She sees direct deals as a stronger option than the click-based placements she has described.
Sponsorship across channels
She outlines an integrated package across a site, social media and a newsletter. The format can include a hosted video.
Her preferred approach is integrated marketing: a brand buys a presence across the What’s Trending platform. A package might include an article on the website, posts across social channels—including a static post or hosted video—and a newsletter integration.
Consistency and adjustment
Shira explains why she prefers longer deals with regular posts. She uses results to refine the creative over time.
Shira says a campaign can be a one-off, but she prefers a six-month or year-long deal with weekly or monthly posts. That creates consistency and lets the team see what works and adjust the creative. She uses a similar approach for her personal social accounts and closes by wishing viewers luck.
