What can media empires look like on Substack?
Exploring a new model for media organizations on Substack
When
launched Common Sense on Substack, she set out to create a media institution that is much bigger than herself. In an interview with , she declared her intent to build “a newspaper for the 21st century,” complete with a roster of contributors and full time staff, plus audio and video components, all supported by a devoted community of paying subscribers.In two years, Bari has made significant progress on that goal, becoming one of the most successful publishers on the platform, with hundreds of thousands of readers in all 50 states and around the world. Now, we’re excited to celebrate with her and her team as they introduce the next phase of their burgeoning media empire: The Free Press.
We’ve been working with The Free Press team to figure out how Substack can support multifaceted media empires, starting with a custom-built website that accommodates the needs of a higher-volume publisher with many contributors. This initiative is in a very early stage and we expect it to evolve as we learn more.
Part of the magic of Substack has always been how easy it is to start a publication. In minutes, anyone can create a Substack, publish their first post, start building a list of subscribers, and make money. We are using this pilot with The Free Press to learn how to apply these principles to publications with more complex needs. Areas we’ll be exploring will include how we can help publishers have a more customized brand presence on the platform while retaining the usability and legibility of a Substack, how to support collaboration between many team members in a simple content management system, and how publishers can establish their independence while exploiting the full growth benefits of the Substack network.
We’re excited for the arrival of The Free Press and to continue to support the ambitions of a new generation of media companies that are finding success with the Substack model. Watch this space.

Y’all talking about media empires over there, and I’m just chugging along telling 60 subscribers about coffee.
The name of your publication — "Matt Likes Coffee" — really resonates deeply with me. Keep on chugging!
(61 subscribers now.)
Matts and coffee, a millennial match made in heaven.
Matt, are you from Australia? I'm a huge coffee fan too.
Unfortunately no, too many spiders down under.
Okay, @Josh beat me.
I'm subscriber #62.
Hey: I LOVE coffee. Actually I used to. Now it’s Irish breakfast tea 🍵
Fancy!
What a fun Substack!
Coffee you say? Make that 61 subscribers
My bucket overflows! Getting that media empire one subscriber at a time.
Ha! I think we both hit publish at the same time.
Hey a good joke is a good joke:)
😳
Hey don't diss it, that's 30 more subscribers than I have! Keep going Matthew! We'll get there mate.
I’m averaging 30 per year, media empire here I come! 🥲
I noticed your comment on having only 60 subscribers is from about 5 months ago, so I'm just curious as to how many more subscribers you have gained since then? I'm about a year in with only 11 subscribers. Either everyone hates cats or I just suck.
I think I’m at like 65 now. It comes in spurts.
Substack’s total user base is much lower than other social media networks, and the pitch to subscribers is a lot harder than something like Instagram. Keep doing what you’re doing if you love it.
Consider me caffeinated (and subscribed)!
I love coffee too - subscribed!
I only write what I know, and that’s extremely little about cake. I’ll take a trip down the rabbit hole for you though!
Biscotti is pretty good with coffee. Double chocolate varieties.
Go to an Italian market or if you bake, a trusty recipe: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/double-chocolate-biscotti.html
30 is better than 20 is better than 10.
I hear it goes drip-drip-drip-hockey-stick.
This is great, since the pandemic lockdown we told people to just grab a glass square and said “look here is your money now and this is where food comes from ok? So trust the glass thingy”
Why "empire"? I thought substack was for the indie bloggers not media empires. I'll be worriedly watching out.
PS. Recently left Medium after 7 years. I really hope I don't have to move again soon.
Currently considering how to grow Medium and grow Substack at the same time. Have a feeling it's possible. Maybe necessary. [Watch this space]
Crosspost on both platforms. Try and funnel your Medium traffic here.
The same content, though? Seems unwise.
I wouldn’t make it a habit, but it’s your work; there’s nothing wrong with writing once/posting twice.
yeah good point lol. we got a 1.5 man local journalism empire over here. 18 months in its working pretty well. https://www.thejournal425.com
You are not alone - l wage a war along with millions of others in BRITAIN against the mass media producing daily Psyops and lying to the people - working for a TOTALITARIAN STATE because that is what BRITAIN is now ..
I had a similar thought.
Cool idea for 2023 is instead to not gear everything towards media empires.
right lol. tryin to solve news deserts not grow new ones
🔥🔥❤️
I come to Substack because it collects and amplifies rebellious, singular voices.
Hear hear .. l DO NOT come to Substack to encourage the Psyops and mass propaganda the BBC pumps out! Dear God 🙏🏻 choose “your media carefully” ..
🙌
What if we don’t have a “media empire” but would kill for a new layout?
Seek, and you shall find. Eventually.
I think it would really shake up the world of publishing/social media/tech in general if Substack didn't only promote already existing "empires". There's a lot of authors who only have a small province, but one that's richly planted. Substack would still get their portion of paid subscriptions.
Unless of course Substack has special deals with the kings and queens of the giant realms where they get more of a percentage. Then it makes perfect sense to only promote the bigs.
But what a concept, huh? The tech world would look on in wonder and astonishment!
Bari Weiss is not a journalist, but a right-wing mouthpiece. BAD EXAMPLE!
The only remotely right-wing thing about her is her Zionism. Mostly she’s milquetoast moderate centrist nonsense. But someone told you to hate her because she espoused one of the naughty no-no opinions, and you obliged like the human cattle you are.
harsh but fair lol
right is one half of our political system it’s fine to have right wing representation. it’s exclusion and silos that suck. and she is a journalist. unless you aren’t counting NYT anymore. and i’m not a fan of her at all. she says some really dumb shxt like when she called Gabbard a toadie and then when pressed to back her claim, had to ask her assistant what toadie meant. i just think we all benefit from the exchange of views and it would be a mistake to act like only right or left has some sort of monopoly on the high ground.
Interesting. Don’t bail on the little guys.
the three biggest stories i wrote this year distribution wise simply told people stuff like “what’s going in at the new development over there” and “what’s up with all the car thefts and why won’t the cops help us get our cars back?” and “new costco opens tomorrow”. ppl just wanna know what the f is goin on and there is a complete vacuum.
Local ad-backed journalism was the first to die in the social media purge. Keep doing your thing.
🫰🫰🫰🔥❤️

It seems like they are building a “destination” website. The model that has failed almost everyone else and brought about Substack. I can envision small newsletters banding together to create an “empire” but then the money issue gets icky. I reckon my empire will remain small. 🤓
I don’t even think of this as a newsletter. i was tryin to find a platform for community journalism and figured this could approximate a paper most efficiently for a guy tryin to bootstrap. and i think that’s what they are getting at here (despite the very off brand term empire)- they’re saying we can be a newspaper too.
I write humor and fiction. The stuff that doesn't make money. 🤣 So I have no desire to be a newspaper or a media empire. I'd rather have a donut. 😉
God bless those who do real journalism. It is just not my passion. 🙂
🙌🙌🔥❤️
Small is good. Small and super-f***ing-strong is even better.
I am so relieved she is still associated with Substack as I was alarmed when I tried to visit an old Substack link and found it redirected to the Free Press (https://www.thefp.com/p/how-to-be-a-pioneer). New site looks awesome!
Pretty icky 🤮
I’m building a contrarian investor media empire. Yes, really
I’m interested to see where this goes.
🔥🔥
Please show some love to fiction writers and create a better fiction publishing and reading experience. You could be competing with Kindle/Vella/Wattpad but right now the UX isn’t there.

Matthew, how can I become part? I love coffee. I have fewer subscribers, that isn't it, I'm trying to start a podcast. Where you talk into a mic? I figure use my wife's cell phone. I have a radical idea to take people back to prepper/survivalist times.. I've been living it for over twenty years. lol I used to live in those big tubes in Penn. Station in NYC. Now that was fun and funny.
Glad to see you are carving out space for bigger publications who may be tempted to jump ship to an inferior (but more customizable) platform.
An amusing thought. Building a digital media empire to rival the size and popularity of the 20th century newspaper and magazine industry?

Eewww!
Oh, what the heck. Let's do it...

67 subscribers in first 48 hours.
Can we get #68?
67? Impressive.
SUPER cool <3
We need better analogies to describe things. Or better yet, why not just use the perfectly suitable words that we already have.
How about let’s aspire to build COMMUNITIES of scale that are built on OPEN technologies committed to INTEROPERABILITY and DECENTRALIZATION. A CORAL REEF that spawns a thriving ECOSYSTEM of CREATIVE EXPRESSION.
Empires conquer, consolidate, oppress, deplete; then rinse and repeat. Haven’t we had enough of that?
Just a thought 🤷🏻♂️
Just wanted to say the way in which this new feature has been rolled out is incredibly disappointing and makes me lose faith in the platform.
We've started a reading list Empire. People can select titles they find interesting and investigate them. It doesn't monitor success or failure, and it cannot be purchased. The data on it is in the public domain, so it is free.
Whereas it generates no income and no growth, by some measures it is worthless. However, in a general media environment of deceit and disinformation, being worthless is an improvement, and an excuse for hope.
🔥🔥❤️😳
Can someone direct me to the person working on this project from the Substack team. We have 23 Substack columnist all referring to one another and would like to discuss options.
there’s an air table sign up link at the bottom
I filled it out, but am not familiar with ‘air table’. Can you advise?
it’s just the brand name for a customizable spreadsheet. basically you submitted your info they’ll let (us) know if they wanna help us lol
i’ll let you know if they reply to me first. i’ve been tryin to adapt this platform for local journalism for 18 months lol
BOOM! Seriously, this is epic news. The innovative juice coming out of Substack totally rocks.
I would love to have some of these benefits for my satire news site. Categories and a news site layout would be amazing.
news site layout is already possible. here’s what i’ve cobbled together. https://www.thejournal425.com/
I’m doing the same theme I think but I came from ghost.io and you could tag articles and effectively make category pages which was nice.
got it. Yeah i’ve just got used to working with what they give me. top of my request list is ability to design and sell ads inside posts. if they could give me canva, a box inside posts to sell to and fill...and billing via stripe then hell i’ll to sell an ad to bickford motors yesterday. they’re begging for a local outlet to advertise in lol
Yeah that would be pretty awesome.
https://clownpilled.news
so when i post a new story i wanna push, i pin it to the top then flip my site in landscape on my phone, screenshot it and post to social with a link. in landscape mode with the multiple category headers it looks a lot like the front page of the old weekly. ppl click on it more on socials.
honestly i think ours look better than bari weiss empire design but idk 🤷♂️
Congratulations for the initiative of bringing freelance journalists closer to such an innovative institution.
May be just me but I cringe a bit at the world "empire", smells of old-fashioned colonial-ported term. Semantics aside, this is cool but I really hope it won't destroy the soul of this platform and reason why I chose it - the empowering independent, small, sometimes niche, writing.
Man that’s really awesome. Love to hear all the great growth stories from fellow Substackers.
My publication is becoming the next media empire ✌️. Thanks to Substack, it is growing at an astounding rate.
🔥🔥❤️
I love that this person started with the intent of creating an empire. Intention is so important. Love the ambition
Empires are good while they last, I guess.
Clearly the layout needs some update. It needs to be more customisable.
oh and fent busts. they love a good million bucks in the mattress glocks with switches buckets full of blues story
I was hoping to see a Substack model that allowed readers to create their own virtual and interactive electronic newspaper from a variety of content providers where there is a simplified subscription fee and service. It is a very reader-confusing taxonomy to have sources like The Dispatch, that have multiple content providers and its own aggregate site Dispatch.com, and then this is all also connected to Substack. It sounds like Bari Weiss is doing the same.
Frankly, the Dispatch isn't a good fit for Substack as they are just NYT clones for the most part doing their woke work and blocking commenters like myself who don't subscribe to their left orthodoxy (no... there are no real open and objective voices in that hive). However, Bari was my first subscription to Substack and I hope she too isn't leaving the Substack mother ship to be yet another separate click-through aggregate provider.
This isn't quite the "one-stop shopping" I was hoping for to get in depth news and information. Maybe there is a user interface model that will work well enough, but today the navigation map is getting very complex and confusing.
Part of me thinks the alure of Substack is the absence of "media empires." Isn't that what you were setting out to accomplish? It reminds me of ESPN debating the need for a college playoff and giving us weekly NFL power rankings. You always want what you can't have. And how do writers get paid working/writing for a Substack media empire? Will it be the same pittance they were paid writing for the small weekly newspaper covering local politics?
were working on the problem of local journalism via substack 18 months in on a community newspaper for a 45k person town that has been a news desert since the weekly went under. we wrote off a year...but we’ll do well in 2023. Overhead is low and interest is high. https://www.thejournal425.com
The problem with Bari Weiss, however, is that she writes lies. A poor example.
So Substack is making websites…
Congratulations to Bari Weiss and the team at The Free Press for their impressive progress! It sounds like they are taking the steps needed to create a truly 21st century media empire. I'm interested to see how Substack can support such a complex endeavor and look forward to learning more
I think substack is a great tool for a bootstrapped local newspaper i’ve been using it for 18 months and i like it. all one needs to start a paper is an iphone a nikon and a city council schedule. substack is free canva is like $10 these massive efforts to “save” local journalism (jcpa 🤮) are a bit cart before the horse imho. but. hey if substack really wants to help local journalism give us editable CLASSIFIEDS and the ability TO SELL, DESIGN, PLACE and BILL custom Ads.... I think a placeholder on Posts, a Canva integration ...maybe an Asana or Slack integration for Customer Ad Proofing ...and the ability to bill via existing Stripe integration...well that would do more to solve local journalism problems than a years worth of front page redesigns for Bari’s Empire.
Just so everyone knows there is a good member org for aspiring local online newspapers. LION Publishers is pretty damn good check it out if you tryin to do local journalism. click up over there, get on their publisher Slack and share resources.
That. Is. Amazing. 💥
this is DOPE
I started a substack simply to avoid FB bans. Now I just link to my substack and readers come here!! I do love coffee!
🔥🔥
Really interesting stuff! Look forward to seeing what yall develop!
👍🙏✌️
Keep pushing everyone. The content is king
Amen 🙏
The word “empire” makes me feel icky as ‘moist’ does to others. No, it makes me feel as if I am inferior … wait …
Am an occasional fan of moist. (The experience more than the word.)
It’s a great adjective. It is funny, though, how makes some people squirm.
I definitely want in on this for my publication (antagonistmag.com). Looks slick. Kinda like our site.
Excellent progression. Conked.io is interested
With all the new features, I am excited about how I can format my home page! Now, we just need a way of having it translate to mobile consistently with how it is on desktop!

Can someone explain the business model? How are writers paid? Basic, important, question.
Inspiring.
For writers who have already built a large subscriber base on Substack, how can they optimize their revenue streams to maximize earnings from their existing audience? Are there particular strategies or best practices that Substack recommends for writers at this stage of their growth?
This is something I'm really interested in, and want to aim at for a long-term goal. Doing a personal newsletter where I do all the writing and promoting is fine, but it can only go so far. I have been puzzling out how to get guest authors in to do posts, but worry that my subscribers would start to get annoyed with multiple posts per week. Right now we're doing OK with two a week. And if I were to have more than one author "on staff" how would payment work? I know a couple of other sites that do more or less what I'm aiming at - in my slightly different though somewhat overlapping niche - and I can see that they have multiple "departments" and editors for them, as well as doing side-bar advertising - I think on Wordpress. So, if Substack is going to create an avenue for this, I'm really interested. The more I do this, and the more people sign up, and the more paid supporters, the more I think I can do it.
If you could set up video hosting a lot of people who do course but are fed up with sites like Patreon and Skillshare would be interested. I'd love create a multi-media Christian Sacred Art Centre, kind of thing, where writers could write, podcasters could podcast, but painters could also host tutorials and courses. Right now there are a few good iconography instructors around and they have to either build their own websites - always terrible quality - or deal with Algorithm-driven sites like Patreon. Or use course sites like Skillshare where the terms of service, rules and payment structures are always shifting and getting paid for your work gets dicey.
substack.link/mediaempire doesn't work :'( !
I'm in.
I want to be able to post data from a spreadsheet into a substack document. Is there a way to do this retaining the rows & columns format?
I love it here. And I will be disappointed in Twitter if they're not letting my followers click on my shared links to Substack. I'm so excited about the growth here.
substack if you read your comments i’ve tried to get in touch with you since you wrote this i filled out your survey and contact request for journalists. never heard back. well i run a bootstrapped digital news startup and we’re in the four figures of subscribers - enough to get some grant opportunities-- and i really wish you’d respond bc im going to have to leave your platform in order to take these grants. if you’re really interested in local journalism models that work, i’ve got one that you’ve helped me start and the only thing that’s making me leave is you guys won’t return a call, read your own comments or respond to your own contact requests that you sent me. Google News initiative and Knight Foundation won’t fund me on substack unless i could get a few changes that it looks like you’ve already done for famous people. would be nice if you could reach out. read this thread i’ve been trying to talk to you for four months.
I filled out the questionnaire on mediaempire and indicated in this thread that I’m a local news org that’s been using substack for my first 18 months and that i was keen to talk to you guys. I haven’t heard back. You guys know that journalism specific CMS are contacting outlets like mine and trying to tempt us off substack with offers of upfront payment and services right? Well i’d rather stay here. But it would be great if i felt like you guys were interested enough to contact me about this. at the very least i would’ve thought a courtesy response for filling out the media empire survey and requesting to be part of this…maybe i missed it. Can you let me know? Kev 425.953.6762 publisher@thejournal425.com
Thanks for the inspiration! Probably no where else I’ll be able to have such potential.
Its great to hear Substack is open to explore and develop to help us discover the new ways!
I've seen this search tool somewhere... #ghost
I agree with those who are saying forget the empire building. Empires become corrupted. Plus ca change and all that.
Congratulations on the great new website. Is all of that within Substack? How'd you do the Topic sections on the Home page: "Science" "Politics" "TGIF" where you can then scroll the articles within the section?
I'm not American, so I'm not overly familiar with this woman but didn't she launch and then abandon a university like a year ago? I'm not sure she has a great reputation for building things. Also, can someone from Substack comment on the rumours that this is being run on Ghost code? That's a weird allegation, is there any truth to it?
Hi Erin, here's what happened with the (incorrect) claim that Substack was using Ghost code: https://twitter.com/cjgbest/status/1602370307884318720

The platform has worked pretty well for me although i could use some help Substack on figuring out how to sell ads.
i’ve been doing it for 18 months too. We aren’t an empire though just local journalism.
I hadn’t thought of making a ‘stack into a local news outlet. That’s a brilliant idea. I might steal it. The journalism in my state is absolutely flat, and half of it is pulled from the AP.
it worked. although substack completely ignored me when they asked for input from journalists (i guess they meant famous people) -- i attracted enough of a readership to get a few write ups in industry blogs. joined an association of local online papers (lion) and this month i got approached by google news initiative and knight foundation with a ready to deploy six figure grant and a team of revenue ppl. the only catch is i have to leave substack and go to a platform with flexibility for sponsorship and display ads. i’d rather stay at substack but they’ve ignored me.
There's a huge appetite for it- especially out here in the upper Midwest.
are you on social? twitter or ig?
Nope. I've never even had a Facebook account. Although, I did just join Linkedin—reluctantly. I'm not a fan, but I’ll stick it out for a bit and see if anything happens. I'm not very active, and my profile is rubbish. So, it is unlikely much will come of it.
go for it. it was a side project at first. i was sorta well positioned to do it bc a decade ago i’d been the Managing Editor of the print weekly that used to be the paper of record here. And i knew i had an ace up my sleeve: i was going to provide athletic beat-level reporting of the HS football team and given that 7000 ppl show up to home games i thought there’d be interest. And there was. So i used football to attract subscribers and got them to stick around for the civic stuff. Mainly i just wanted to get over a thousand organic subscribers and maintain a 45% open rate. I didn’t push paid subscriptions and i hardly pay walled anything. But i’m a journalist by training (it’d been a while tho) so when a few stories popped up i was ready. The Cartel moved into town https://www.thejournal425.com/p/drugs-guns-and-stolen-cars-major among other things. I joined LION Publishers and they gave me free libel insurance and some other assistance. And by the 12 month mark LION said j425 was in the top 2% of first year growth. So i decided to take a full year and see if i can pencil this thing out and then make it into a guide and a ready to deploy toolkit for anyone who wants to try and fill a news desert. and i know there’s money to be made, local businesses are dying for a platform. so if we can figure out advertising this year i think we’re good.
i don’t want them to implement ads i want them to let publishers design and sell ads to local businesses. It’d be a post option no different then embedding an instagram partnered ad. they said they wanted to help local journalism well local newspapers provided a service to community businesses for which the businesses supported the paper. That link has to be restored somehow. Regardless they can’t stop it they’ll just make it more difficult and they won’t get their ten percent service fee. - I can make an ad and insert it as a photo. - i can make an ad via instagram post or IG market and embed it. - I could get cringe and sell a sponsored post.
i just think the independent true to form method would be to give the publisher the tools to design and sell bespoke ads to local businesses. That same functionality could then be used to bridge out into the other parts of the local paper that made the business viable: the BEST OF list....the Summer Festival program...the voters guide...etc. Ppl who lived in areas long serviced by popular weekly newspapers miss all of this shit. Plus if i make the add i know it will match the style sheet, voice and vibe of my publication it will look good and benefit everyone. No one in my town is gonna be disgusted if the mexican restaurant wants to support the paper. they just aren’t.
I'm unsure if Substack will implement ads. Many writers are drawn here because it’s without advertisements, among other reasons.
i lean hard on instagram and twitter and i try to write three real originally reported stories a week with original photography and graphics i make through canva. i do a podcast once a week. and kick ass on football (highlights, live blogs, recruiting news). and i had a year to do this and some savings to waste so what the hell. I’m pretty convinced this will work tho and if so it’s a much better way for other ppl to get involved. everyone in the think tanks and corps keeps trying to revive the old institution. nah it’s dead. you don’t need that. you don’t need a loan or a staff or to pay for an office or a brand name. you need an iphone a camera a macbook and the ability to talk to ppl. i write 90 percent on my phone it’s been fun. and there’s been big stories.
Substack for local journalism is just inspiring and hopeful.
I'm really interested in your endeavor. How have you approached the challenge of finding local readership?
Well. We’re 18 months in and in the four figures on subscribers. I’m ready to institute an advertising program in 2023. Gotta figure out how to do that, i suggested to substack that they integrate Canva and include designated ad blocks in posts. With those two features and a slight change to the existing Stripe payments i could have a one man Ad department up tomorrow.
but readership strategy? tbh i bribed this football mad town with indepth coverage of the local hs football team that draws like 35% of the 40k that live here to home games. they sign up for Athletic style beat reporting of the state champ football team and i try and get them to stay for the city council, crime and policy reportage 🤷♂️

Not sure if that answered your question or not. Feel free to message me if you want to chat. and take a look at the site i cobbled together it’s https://www.thejournal425.com
It looks great. Just signed up for updates.
thank you and likewise 🤙
Would it be better if it were a far-left hack?
yes.
“Grift” is the right word. I read her ‘stack sometimes, though, because many articles are fascinating, only for the wrong reasons. I enjoy reading different political views, regardless of how delusional.
yup. amateurs stick to one silo. at the very least a guy should spend most of his time consuming opposing views. or better yet all major viewpoints. know who watches Tucker Carlson in DC? every single dem staffer. and they appreciate him. just like bannon constantly compliments maddow on her grasp of narrative setting. this is grown up shit we should all be capable of taking one set of facts and making a strong argument from every major american political point of view. otherwise you’re just rooting and when i wanna do that i watch the Niners
I couldn’t agree more. You can't form an opinion based on a third of the information. Well, you can, just a closed-minded and uneducated one.
Capitalism often makes people do stupid shit.
now we just gotta figure out who has the facts
Facts are like dark matter.
Facts, like dark matter
Elusive, unseen, yet there
Shaping all we see
AI?
yeah you gotta try it. it’s fun to give it crazy requests. let’s see. can it write a revenge themed spaghetti western drill rap? i’ll find out (here’s the link: https://chat.openai.com/
hey chat. write a revenge themed spaghetti western drill rap song about a cowboy named King Von tracking down the black-clad cattle thief YoungBoy
Thanks for the link. I've wanted to check it out but didn't care enough, or perhaps was reluctant to see my potential future replacement.
