This is a grand (and overwhelming, a bit) article. Lots I did not know. Thank you. My field is fiction and I also write inspirational pieces--are these unlikely subjects on Substack? Everything I see so far seems to be about how-to's or monetization or what you and Tim Denning write on. Just curious before I go through the process of starting.
Thanks for the guide.I have a quick question to ask. If I have a blog website outside Substack well as blog newsletter on Substack from where I drive my readers to my external blog website, why would my newsletter readers subscribe for paid subscription to my newsletters when they can read same articles on my external website? Please clear my doubt on this query.Thanks in advance. 😀
Hi Casey. Quick question. How do you know that Substack strips Amazon links? That's very welcome news but I can't seem to find anywhere where Substack confirms that, and when I click on my own link from the email, it transforms into a whole other link but still appears to have my Amazon tracking info in there at the end of the link.
Does anyone know the answer to this questions because I can’t find any documentation on it anywhere and to me that’s alarming. I have 33k substack subs and I am planning out a premium option for my subscribers. I love substack and all their features and don’t plan on going anywhere but for something that is this important, I have to find the answers before I can move forward.
Let’s say I get 2 years in and I have a lot of paying readers and I decide to build out my own stack or switch platforms to have more controls as that’s one downfall is the lack of customization, what happens to my paying subs? I would hope that my relationship with stripe remains unaffected and upon clicking the “Bye bye substack” button and inform my readers we will be switching things up, I am hoping my payments will come in as always and that A. It doesn’t require me to get them all to start paying again because I will not do that. And B. Since there is no documentation on this it makes me worried that there is some fine print that substack gets theirs forever unless you want to break the payments and manually sign them all up again.
I know this sounds alarmist but how is there literally no documentation on this on their site, and you can’t even find a conversation on google about it.
Hello and thanks for your information. My blog isn't searchable on substack in the search bar. My blog is basically invisible if searched on the platform my blog is on. Any help with or ideas with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you - James
Hello, thanks so much for this epic resource! I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction of how to create sub menus like you have on the right hand side of my Substack home page? I've looked everywhere and can't find out how to do it ;) Thank you so much for your offerings, you've helped me so much! Juliet

There are some writers emerging on Substack in the fiction space too https://on.substack.com/p/spotlight-on-fiction
this is the only "growth" substack i have found so far that is worth subscribing to
keep up the good work
Hey, don't know how worth-mentioning - but, there's a page, link which is everywhere (like, at https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us), except for here in the article; and it's "writer resources", https://substack.com/resources 🙂
Awesome content! Thank you.
Is there a way to add a First Name field to my Substack subscription form? And related question: can I personalize newsletter with their first name?

I have a stupid question, can i customise my newsletter to be different to a post?
Or is a post and the newsletter one and the same?

Thank you Casey! this article is very informative and I've learnt a lot from it!
Great content. I have been writing about AI , copywriting and production in portuguese.
Hey there! Is there a way to email the writers of a substack?
Thank you for your help!
How many subscribers by email address can I add at one time (per week or month or total)?
