π§ Iβve been on Substack for a bit over a year and I love it!
Iβm always lurking here during Office Hours but rarely end up posting.
Today, I just wanted to give a word of encouragement to any new Substackers out there.
Substack is a huge, vibrant, and diverse community.
Youβll run into highly successful writers on this platform and your first impulse might be to start comparing the metrics.
I know mine was!
When I had no subscribers, Iβd compare myself to those who had many. After Iβd reached a decent subscriber count, I started comparing engagement metrics like comments, etc.
Itβs only recently that I came to embrace the fact that all of that is pure noise. The beauty of Substack is that thereβs no RIGHT way to do it.
Some writers here have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, only a small portion of whom might engage beyond reading. Others have a more modest subscriber base which is highly engaged.
Some post on Notes and interact there every day. Others donβt use Notes at all.
Some collaborate with other writers regularly. Others fly solo.
Some want to build a community, while others just want to get their writing out thereβ¦
β¦and everything in between.
Metrics are fun to track, but they donβt come close to telling the full story.
So figure out what youβre here for and focus on what you truly enjoy doing.
Substack introduced tags earlier this year. Tags are great, but Substack's tagging system is different than most other platforms. When you add tags to a post, they don't show up automatically; you have to decide how you want to use them on your site.
βοΈ - Does anyone else panic about their level of sharing when posting personal essays? I have mostly been writing about trauma, mental health crisis, and the like. When I first publish a piece, I feel deep satisfaction that I've said what I needed to say and represented myself in a true and vulnerable way. But then I often end up waking up at 3:00 AM in a cold sweat, thinking:
*Why the hell am I telling people about my darkest, most private thoughts?!?*
Anyone else do that? Any strategies for getting out of one's head about it? Or, sheesh, am I just an anxious-avoidant crazy person? π
I have seen a lot of backlash against auto play videos on here.
Wouldnβt the solution be having the option - to be able to select or deselect auto play video content on here? Curate oneβs own feed according to personal taste?
For those of you who use Reader (Readwise's read later app), I've been using the "Listen" feature to help me finalize drafts before publishing β it's been super helpful in catching typos & weird sentence structures!
1. In your Substack draft, hit "Preview" -> "Test" -> Copy Secret draft link
I am at the beginning of my Substack experience. I am a photographer and writer (mostly involved in education and creative writing). I have no idea if anything I do would appeal to others. Any additional advice? As it is, I am sharing my thoughts surrounding my images, which I hope to be somewhat inspirational. meg-leaf.pixels.com
I'd like to understand whether there will be a "live" component to the new video features: can we record content live, or can we only upload pre-recorded content? I'm trying to understand whether I can host classes (webinar-style) on the platform.
Please @substack. No to autoplay. Give us a choice. I choose not to open video now, and often will just delete posts that are just video and no text. I come here for the writing - those words on the screenpage. Please don't force video onto me.
Hi all! Hoping to hit 400 subscribers before 2024 and trying not to worry that Iβm not growing faster. In your experience, is it hardest to get the first 500 subscribers?
I can't imagine any scenario where my Substack doesn't become so popular and famous that I become the first-ever write-in candidate that wins the United States Presidential Election. As President, obviously, all my communication needs to have top flight security clearance. So my question is: Will the Secret Service allow me to Substack?
π§ This great Reddit thread popped up yesterday in the Substack Writers group, where folks are sharing how long it took them to reach 200 subscribers, and what strategies they used. I shared a few thoughts, and already got five new subscribers from my interactions there, so check it out and drop your two cents:
Folks in the thread have been asking me how I have achieved a nearly 20% conversion rate on paid subscribers, with 65-75% open rates. I have a lot to share, so I am working on a post documenting my journey.
If youβd like to receive it, sign up for my Substack at www.lizexplores.com, where I write about infertility, mental health, and adventure. Iβm hoping to share my strategies post in the coming week. (Very meta, I knowβ¦)
Are there other fiction writers out there who'd like to connect or who have advice about how to build a fiction-centered community? Also, feel free to drop your best/most recent stories for us to read!
Also, as I'm sure you've seen a ton of creators are requesting that you get rid of the revision to our post's visual assets that shows the first paragraph of the post, instead of just the post title and subtitle as you did before. Because the first paragraph of most posts is usually welcome and throat-clearing, the visuals look clunky and unprofessional now.
i've used Substack video a few times, when sharing song demos! i don't have a lot of subscriptions which use video very much but i honestly welcome the focus on it.
how is everyone doinggggg? are we all going to take breaks over Christmas or are we gonna schedule it, or just power through and keep writing during the holidays?
π§ Shameless Self Promo here. I would love to be featured as a humor writer. I just started interviewing Funny AF Women. There are so many funny gals I may have to post twice a week to keep up with the plethora of interviews.
π§I got an email today from a Substack which said "You've been invited to subscribe to xxx". It was sent to my personal email address not my Substack address. The subject line was βPlease confirm your email for xxxβ. There was a link in it with the words βis this spam?β but it just went to a blank Support page.
There is small print saying βYou received this email because you asked to be notified when added to a mailing list. Change your settings here.β But I couldnβt see anything relevant. And anyway, I donβt want to be added to a mailing list unless I ask to. I know I havenβt subscribed to this (itβs only 2 days old).
I donβt want random Stacks to βinviteβ me β how do I make it stop? How did they get my email address? And why are you allowing this? Itβs a serious privacy issue.
βοΈ Just happy to join this community. A month ago I started what I think might be a pretty niche publication about our desire for the perfect cure and have about 55 subscribers. I am also looking at views - more than 1180 in my first month. Feels good to use my journalist's research skills + my real voice. I love engaging with other writers too. Y'all are amazing. This is hard work. Looking forward to more, including collaborating with others.
I think a great feature to have would be the ability to create our own lists in Notes of people we want to follow. Being able to refine it ourselves to "Musicians", "Poets", or whatever would be amazing.
Iβve been seeing a lot of people write about, or allude to, experiences within toxic workplaces. While itβs truly heartbreaking to read about what some people have been through, itβs also very empowering to see such experiences discussed openly.
Iβm wondering... how do you guys balance the fine line between authentically sharing what happened and avoiding saying something that could result in legal repercussions?
π§ βοΈ I'm new on Substack. I'm a photographer and writer. My writing includes my inspirational thoughts surrounding and related to my images. While I have written a great deal on the topic of education, I'd rather provide inspiration on this platform, as I have been maligned for my views on how the education system in the U.S. could be improved. I want to share my images and my website, but also provide thoughts for the day a couple of times a week. Do you have any advice for a newbie such as myself? Would anyone even be interested? Thank you. meg-leaf.pixels.com
π§ So I'm turning on my PAYWALL -- not yet, but in three weeks from now. I've decided that I'm going to read out my SHORT STORIES AFTER 8 ever Sunday night, and that my serial work on Wednesdays is going behind the paywall. I'm doing this to generate income so I'll be able to print up my stories and mail them to all of my PAID subscribers. It's something I've been thinking about for some time now. I feel if people want my novellas in book form, they can sign up for one. All they have to do is send me a post card with their address on it. I need 65-70 PAID subscribers though. So I dropped the price of a yearly subscription down to $30 (Can), which is dirt cheap. ($21 American.) I don't expect a lot of people will take me up on this, because I don't have a huge following, but hopefully some will.
I think some support around video makes a lot of sense to me. I love reading and writing essays, but sometimes there is something that calls for a video/audio supplement. I think that's the thing everyone needs to keep in mind: these are tools for you to use at your discretion.
I would love the option to disable notes. I know. Iβm a Luddite. Iβm a sensitive soul who canβt handle social media. Iβd love to be able to disable that feature when I need to and only access my inbox.
π§ I'd love it if the image asset that accompanies a post could just include the headline and subhead. Including additional text leading into the piece seems awkward and detracts from the headline itself. It doesn't necessarily function as a teaser.
π₯βοΈ I am wondering if/when Substack will introduce an AI writing app built-in to the text editor, and whether people would actually like this. I use another platform that does that and I think (a) the quality of the output is rubbish (thank goodness!), and (b) it is fundamentally dishonest, and (c) I write so much as it is I don't need help from an AI bot. But I wondered what people's thoughts on the idea are
π§ -I recently started doing voiceovers for my posts (since Substack doesn't like me and won't do automatic ones :). Is there any way for me to find out how often people listen to them?
π§ Two suggestions I would make for the Substack team to think about for the future, and I know it probably won't be any time soon. I would love to be able to combine my website with my Substack in one of two ways:
- Substack offers the ability to create a basic website into which I can integrate my Substack newsletter/main page
- I can somehow embed the latter into my existing website in place of my blog (which offers the exact same articles at the moment)
I know y'all want to keep it free and that's fine but I would pay extra for this.
π§ - I had some fun with the voiceover feature this week as part of a collaboration with Alison Acheson. Scheduling live interviews is hard, and sometimes writers want to get the words right. So we opted for an email exchange over about a month that we edited into a written conversation. Then we each recorded our lines, doing a little acting to make it feel less canned, and I combined the two recordings into a single file for the voiceover.
This isn't groundbreaking, but I mention it because it can be a real timesaver compared to podcasting. If you're recording lines instead of speaking extemporaneously, you don't have much editing to do. All you do is create a voice memo, press record once, and create pauses between segments or when you mess up and want to start over. The result makes your content accessible to more readers and gives someone the option of pressing "play" while making dinner or doing something else with their hands.
π§ don't be afraid to stop writing after this next week. I have found that posting less has only increased my subscriber count while allowing me to focus on what I want to do. Plus its the holidays, people will be busy.
π§ I'm a physician and much of my writing will be medical commentaries. I haven't set my banner up. Do you recommend me including a photo of me in my "official" white coat on my banner.
What is Substack doing to deal with the increasing presence of extreme right wing authors? I am all for free speech however some of what I am reading and hearing about is not pretty.
βοΈ Hello fellow writers, I am looking ahead to the spring of 2024 and would like some ideas to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the publication of my book, "Tap, Taste, Heal: Used Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to Eat Joyfully and Love Your Body," which was released by North Atlantic Books in April 2019:

π§ Listen to your final draft before publishing
For those of you who use Reader (Readwise's read later app), I've been using the "Listen" feature to help me finalize drafts before publishing β it's been super helpful in catching typos & weird sentence structures!

Hi all! Hoping to hit 400 subscribers before 2024 and trying not to worry that Iβm not growing faster. In your experience, is it hardest to get the first 500 subscribers?
Is there a way to preview a specific quote or line and/or embed that quote in a promo image from a post, and if so, how?
