Have you looked into recurring affiliate programs? A single customer paying monthly can be much more valuable than several one-time commissions. If your audience is interested in software, recurring offers are definitely worth considering.
 
Something that worked surprisingly well for me was sharing personal experiences rather than writing promotional emails. When readers feel like they're getting an honest recommendation instead of an advertisement, they're much more likely to trust it.
 
I'd avoid sending promotional emails too frequently in the beginning. Start slowly, monitor your unsubscribe rate, and adjust based on how your audience responds.
 
A 20K email list is honestly a great position to be in. Before trying every monetization method, I'd start with one simple affiliate campaign and see how your audience responds. Small tests can teach you a lot without risking the trust you've built.
 
If your list has been growing organically for a couple of years, you've already done the hardest part. Monetization is really about matching the right offer with the right audience.
