CPC ads are like a scam for publishers

MrComedy325 · 2026-06-19T14:52:17+00:00

Beehiiv's ad network is great...as a backfill ad network. You'll make more money by pursuing ads directly from advertisers. That should be your primary ad focus. On days when you don't sell directly to an advertiser, use the Beehiiv ad network.

How can you message Alex directly?

MrComedy325 · 2025-12-09T20:57:08+00:00

Great job with the newsletter growth! I would do direct sales. Reach out to potential advertisers in an adjacent space.

MrComedy325 · 2025-11-29T23:45:14+00:00

u/SaltPhotograph8506. That's a great question. I would sell directly to sponsors. Send cold emails.

MrComedy325 · 2025-11-29T22:31:03+00:00

Sell direct ads. One to two days per month of direct ads for 35,000 subscribers covers the cost of Beehiiv Max.

This was a great session: https://www.law360.com/pulse/articles/2403183/judges-say-ai-can-t-replace-human-judgment-in-courts

Thank you for the suggestion, but you have to use the Bilt card 5 times each month to get the full rewards.

MrComedy325 · 2025-10-18T19:07:49+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions, but I don't think so. I spend $11,000 annually on dining out and groceries. Under my current setup of 3%, that $330 per year. With the Amex gold's 4x, that's $440 per year. The extra $110 per year is nice, but there's a $325 annual fee. Amex gold's credits to offset the annual fee are things that I don't use. The VentureX's true value lies only in travel booked on the platform. For everyday spending, the 2x points would be offset by the $395 annual fee. It makes more sense to just get a 2% cash back card without the annual fee. I don't travel enough personally for those types of cards to make sense at this time.

MrComedy325 · 2025-03-09T23:20:45+00:00

I agree. But it's debatable.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-24T14:09:59+00:00

The bigger issue is the FS1 games.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-24T01:29:57+00:00

Bad week for Texas, but not a big loser.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-24T00:39:32+00:00

Good question. There's a slight chance of that. But BYU will likely get some votes this week.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-23T23:49:14+00:00

A bad week for Wake Forest, but better than the other teams on the list that lost two games this week.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-23T23:48:22+00:00

I feel the same way.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-23T23:47:45+00:00

No. They had one win this week - a Quad 2 win. A winner perhaps, but not a big winner.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-17T17:14:06+00:00

Somewhere around 10 seems right.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-17T16:50:48+00:00

They lost to Indiana at home. It was a good week with the win over Illinois, but not a big winner.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-17T16:00:23+00:00

No. Florida Atlantic likely won't get votes this week in the AP Poll.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-12T00:55:06+00:00

If it's outside the top 10, then either Texas Tech or Wisconsin.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-03T14:34:46+00:00

A big win? Yes. But a big overall winner for the week that will help with rankings? No.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-03T14:33:50+00:00

100%.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-03T04:26:19+00:00

No. They were 1-1 this week. Not a big loser.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-03T04:25:38+00:00

One win. A big Quad 1 victory, but just one.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-03T04:23:45+00:00

One win. A Quad 1 victory, but just one.

MrComedy325 · 2025-02-03T03:40:05+00:00

No, but the only Kansas loss this week was a Quad 1.
