“[The Ad Network] connects us with quality sponsors that would’ve taken significant in-house resources to organize… We still have the freedom to work with our own sponsors directly. For us, it’s a no-brainer way to monetize our newsletter and it’s one of the key reasons we choose to run The Money Buzz on beehiiv.”
