How to use Direct Links for Grow and Monetize Boosts

Available on paid beehiiv plans. Click here to upgrade your account.

Boosts Direct Links offer a powerful way to maximize both audience growth and monetization. These links allow you to promote Boosts on virtually any platform, including social media, newsletters, forums, and other advertising channels.

Boosts function as a two-sided marketplace:

  • Grow publishers use Boosts to acquire new, verified subscribers.
  • Monetize publishers promote other newsletters and earn revenue for each verified signup.

A Boost Direct Link works like an affiliate link, directing users to the boosted publication’s landing page. Signups through the link are attributed to your publication, ensuring you either pay or get paid based on the Boost offer CPA for each verified subscriber.

  • On the Monetize side: You earn revenue for every verified subscriber who signs up through your Direct Link.
  • On the Grow side: You only pay for verified, engaged subscribers while benefiting from new acquisition opportunities.
Tech Note: In order to use Boosts Direct Links, you must first complete Stripe Identity Verification and add funds to your beehiiv Wallet.

How to use Direct Links for Grow Boosts

Reminder: Direct Links are toggled off by default for all Boost agreements made after January 30, 2025. You can enable them by following the steps below. If your Boost agreement was made before this date, you can still disable Direct Links using the same steps.
  1. From the left panel in your account, go to Grow > Boosts.



  2. You’ll be presented with your Grow Boosts dashboard. Scroll down and select the publication for which you want to enable or disable Direct Links. This will open the publication-specific page.



  3. On the publication-specific page, toggle Direct Link on or off in the top right corner.


How to use Direct Links for Monetize Boosts 

To access the Boosts Direct Links in your account, go to Monetization > Boosts. In the Overview tab, click on a publication to open its publication-specific page.

If Direct Links are available, you’ll find the link below the publication name and logo. Click Copy to use it.

Reminder: Because Direct Links can be toggled off on the Grow side, Direct Links may not be available for every publication.

Alternatively, you can copy a Direct Link from the Actions menu in the Boosts table:

  1. Locate the publication in the table.
  2. Click the 3 dots menu on the right.
  3. Select Copy Direct Link.

Once copied, you can share your Direct Link anywhere to maximize monetization — X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, blog posts, and more.
