Today, we’re sharing three new features that give you more control over your publication’s subscriptions and community. As a writer, you own your relationship with your community. These tools are part of our ongoing efforts to give writers more power to foster great experiences for their readers. (Expect a lot more to come!)
I would love the opportunity to make the latest newsletter issue free to receive but make the archives accessible only for paying subscribers. It would be wonderful for evergreen content and is a proven model for Marc Maron's podcast and various other very successful indie media mini empires. Would be a game changer for me.
I would appreciate the option to launch multiple newsletters under one substack. I would also like to be able to charge different prices for each newsletter. Lastly, I think it's a good idea to have the default subscription option to be "monthly" instead of "free."
I would like my paying subscribers to be able to see my drafts and to be able to provide feedback before I release the post for free for everyone to read.
The ability to embed <iframe> widgets would be really great - then I could use more interactive graphics etc. Or if not that, it'd be good just to have a gallery widget which would enable readers to scroll through a bunch of photos, rather than having to post them all above each other. As a local news reporter, those can be handy.
Thanks for continuing to add enhancements to Substack. While I like the simplicity of Substack, it would be a huge plus to be able to house pdf's within Substack so I could give my readers something extra for signing up. Right now, a pdf has to reside somewhere else on the web, as in on another website. Any chance that fits on your radar screen?
Two major features I'd like to see: Link previews and post categories. I also have a bug report regarding the last feature you released. With the blogroll enabled, the width of the posts view is looking too cramped on the Desktop. I think the sidebar should be pushed a bit outward?
Cheryl from my office has tried 7 times to get someone from SubStack to return her calls and/or emails so while the platform looks hot and the improvements are impressive, some good old fashioned responding to potential customers is what's needed.
These new features seem like a step in the right direction for empowering writers to better engage with and manage their communities. The ability to personalize subscription renewal emails is a great way for writers to reconnect with their audience and potentially encourage renewals.
The enhanced moderation tools, particularly the option to ban individuals or lists of users, provide more control over the community environment, ensuring a more positive and respectful space for all participants.
The option to easily switch between paid and free subscriptions by disconnecting from Stripe is a convenient feature, giving writers flexibility in how they choose to monetize their content.
Overall, these updates signify a commitment to providing writers with the tools necessary to foster meaningful interactions and relationships with their readers. It'll be interesting to see what additional features or improvements they introduce in the future based on feedback from the community.
Hoping to get some advice: I offer both annual and monthly subscriptions. Want to switch only to monthly so I can pause and not charge folks when I travel. Will annual paid subscribers still renew automatically when year is up? Or will they receive a prompt offering them the chance to pay monthly? Thanks for any advice.

Would love to see zapier integration!

I received an email from a substack author I subscribe to that said my credit card is expiring.
My credit card is not expiring.
Have I been hacked? Is this a scam?Thanks.
How do you disable the splash screen that asks them to subscribe before they even read the post? Very frustrating
