Ah, the good ol' flip phone - nostalgic, simple, and charming. But let's face it, our smartphones have supercharged our world like never before.

Nostalgia isn’t going to pay the bills, so we wouldn’t consider using a classic Nokia over an iPhone 14, right? 🤔

Of course! Dumb question.

You’re probably a bit of an innovator and have heard about the spike in newsletter successes (Morning Brew, the Hustle, ExecSum, etc), but why are they crushing it?

They’re pretty great writers, but it’s the platform.

Just like phones, in marketing, we're witnessing a similar evolution with the "newsletter." 📰

Enter the age of the Smart Newsletter! 🚀 No longer just an extension of a more significant business, these power-packed newsletters are stealing the spotlight.

Here are 5 features genius-level newsletter platforms boast that'll leave your old ones in the dust:

💰 Revenue Beastmode: With the right platform, generating income from your email (not just your homepage) is downright unfair:

1. Built-in ad programs (hands-off) 📊
2. Paywalls: Multi-level subscription tiers 💳
3. Referral Commissions: Earn $2-20/referral (hands-off) 💸
4. Seamless integrated polls & surveys for segmentation 🎯
5. Integrated member rewards program to boost growth 🚀

...And that's just the tip of the iceberg! 🧊

The pace of innovation is lightning-fast, folks. ⚡

Long story short: If you're still using a flip-phone equivalent for emailing your audience, it's time for an upgrade. 📈 

So which platforms are making newsletters marketing masterminds?

1. beehiiv: Best for most things. They are the cutting edge. The founder built much of the backend of Morning Brew’s referral program

2. SparkLoop: Their referral commission partner program is bananas. It can be used with other platforms including beehiiv.

3. Ghost: Perfect for blogs/newsletters. As a creative, I found too much creative freedom over there. Seems odd, but because beehiiv is laser-focused on publishing good content over design, I get more published.

Curious about how you and your business can unfairly launch, grow, and monetize your content with these platforms?
