Learn how to turn your emails into income streams.

Growing an audience is one of the most exciting and engaging things you can do online. Through a variety of different outlets, including email, you can provide value to like-minded people around the world. As a bonus, you also have the opportunity to earn revenue from your audience as well.

Whether through selling goods or services, providing sponsored content or hosting ads on your site, there are many different ways to monetize your online presence. And your email list is no exception! Monetizing your emails is just like other methods available online, with a few small tweaks. (And if you don’t collect emails, It’s a great time to start doing this!)

This blog post walks you through three different ways to start monetizing your email marketing efforts. We’ve intentionally excluded selling goods and services from this list to highlight simple actions you can take today to get started – if you have goods or services to sell, you’re obviously using your email marketing software to do so!

Please note: These ports depend greatly on the Email Service Provider (ESP) you are working with. Always check the ESP’s terms of service before incorporating any of these options.

3 ways your emails can generate income without direct selling:

1. Become an affiliate member (and use a commission-friendly ESP).

   Affiliate and referral programs are designed to reward participants who recommend their products or services. Basically, if you know something you use and love and share that love with your audience, you can be rewarded — either financially or with complementary items — based on how many people sign up.

   Research products, goods and services you use regularly to see if there is an affiliate program, discount codes or referral links available. Integrate them into your emails or link them into your template for a simple way to earn rewards or make a side income.

   Then, start informing your audience and sending timely reminders via email! Please note that some affiliate programs, referral programs and some online service providers have strict rules regarding affiliate marketing. We highly recommend it You need to check before sending it To ensure your full compliance with both the affiliate program and your ESP’s terms of service.

   At FeedBlitz, we do not restrict your mailings to affiliate programs. As long as you adhere to your affiliate program policies, you are welcome to send as many emails as you like including affiliate links.

2. Insert ads into the emails you send.

   If you have ads placed on your site, why not put them in your emails? Your website and emails provide desirable space, get seen by your audience, and revenue opportunities.

   When it comes to inserting ads into your emails, there are two main categories:

   1. Sell space in your email and insert ads manually based on an agreement you have secured.
   2. Advertisements that are automatically inserted into your emails through integration with an online advertising service.

   Either option is an effective way to monetize your emails without selling directly to your audience.

   FeedBlitz offers a one-click advertising program to automatically insert ads into your emails and you can decide where to show ads. Our clients typically see ad revenue in the range of $2 to $3 (USD) per 1,000 pages opened to US-based readers, depending on real-time ad markets and available inventory. If you frequently send mail to a large audience, this may help offset your email marketing costs or use them for another endeavor.

   If you’re monetizing your website by displaying ads, but not taking your emails into account, you’re very likely leaving money on the table.

3. Sign up for an ESP’s affiliate or referral program.

   An email service provider is a service like any other. Many services offer their own partnership or referral programs to reward customers who tell their friends and networks about them. With some ESPs, you may be automatically enrolled, and with others, you may need to register manually to get started.

   FeedBlitz offers a powerful referral program, now in place for all customers, with no limits or caps, where members receive a share of the revenue each month while the referral account is in good standing. The referral program works on a two-tier basis and is a great option for generating another stream of side income while mailing out your list. Program and reimbursement details are explained in great detail here.

Nurture your audience to increase revenue.

The options presented above depend largely on your current transmission habits (for example, frequency and Open prices) and the relationship you have with your audience. With minimal setup and minimal ongoing efforts, the highest earning potential comes from an active audience that opens your emails regularly.

However you choose to monetize your emails, we highly recommend that your priority be sending high-quality email content that provides value to your readers. This not only builds a foundation of trust, but leads to increased open rates. Whether you sell something directly or indirectly, both are ideal when it comes to earning revenue online.
