Shoutout to my 1 subscribe in Afghanistan!
Would be nice to offer different pricing options for different countries, e.g. $5 in USA is nothing but $5 in Botswana is substantial. Although I don't really know how this would work, could easily be gamed by a VPN which is why I am guessing it hasn't been implemented yet
Thanks for all you do to continue giving us great tools to work with, and for never letting things become stagnant around here. It’s encouraging and makes us feel supported!
Keep it up guys, I appreciate the hard work from the team. Is there a way to schedule a post with a customise post to Twitter? The current way of sharing only the title to chat or twitter is not very effective in getting readers. Perhaps can allow the writer to customise the text to be posted on Chat or Twitter for scheduled post.
Really good stuff as I've been working towards a book recently. The new Private Substack options are beneficial for this.
However, something I would love about audience insights is how much of my subscribers are paid subscribers to some of the Substacks I have in common. That would help being able to focus my attention.
I’m so excited about the duplicate posts feature! My twice monthly free newsletter has a template and this will help me out so much. I have also noticed subscriptions more often coming from within Substack so yay for the platform doing the work to help us all grow!
Would like the ability to enable a secret "subscribe/signup" page -- where, when a person lands on it, it only prompts the person to enter their email address (thus signing up for free).
example: the secret "subscribe/signup" page would look something like this:
Where I then make my non-substack "[author].com" page redirect to [author].substack.com/[campaign1] to complete the free signup.
Use case: For when on a radio show plugging my book, say. Or, in a social setting.
The secret "subscribe/signup" page would have its own Welcome email -- [with the book discount code (or substack subscription discount code) in the body of the Welcome email]
I am very new to the Substack writer community and so far really like and appreciate the platform. Being new and interested in growing readership quickly, I am reluctant to move into offering paid subscriptions yet. However, as an option for those of us who only offer free access, how about providing a button saying "If you really liked this post and wish to encourage the writer to work even harder, how about "leaving a tip" in any amount you think appropriate. Your tip, the encouragement, and the six-pack of really good India Pale Ale that it will finance will all be greatly appreciated. To your health!" Or something like that? Thanks for considering this marketing option

Only been writing via Substack for a few weeks but I can gladly say that from my experience so far this community is unparalleled.
I’m sure I can say on behalf of many of my peers that we’re in great hands.

Did someone already mention there’s a sweet community, here?
Love the “duplicate posts” functionality, I’ve been wanting this! Thank you!

I still have a lot to learn about running my
Substack. Thanks for all you do to help us be successful.

I'm always excited to see the new tools being rolled out to writers! Yall are doing a great job!

Audience Insights is fun. I learned there is exactly one US state where I have 0 subscribers. I need to figure out why I'm so unpopular in New Mexico.
Thanks for your amazing job. These are all usefully and appreciated improvements!
Thanks, team, super valuable!
Loving all of these improvements. Thanks, Substack 👏
