Learning About Substack Resources

Note to readers: I’m just getting started learning about Substack. As I learn more I’ll be expanding this post.

Today, I link to some outstanding Substack [Home] resources.

Here is a link to the results of YouTube search “videos on substack“.

Here are some YouTube videos I’ve found helpful.

I would start by watching the second video, How to Start Substack (Beginner’s Guide) first. [Link is to the video on YouTube]

Masterclass: Everything bloggers and creators need to get started on Substack [Free from Substack, 40:06. From the Substack YouTube Channel]

Nov 10, 2023

If you take one thing from this masterclass, it’s this: just start. We cover a lot in the masterclass, but publishing your first post and sharing it with your audience, wherever they are, is the best thing you can do today. You can iterate on the rest of your publication as you go. Over the course of an hour, I covered:

  • What a Substack is
  • How to earn money
  • Getting started in four steps
  • A tour of the settings and the dashboard
  • How to bring your community with you

Christina Loff spent her career working with writers, artists, and independent business owners. Part of her job has always been to give the best advice to help creatives grow their businesses, own their audiences, and make a living doing what they love. In her two years at Substack, she’s helped writers like Joanna Goddard, Evan Ross Katz, Gabrielle Blair, and more build a direct relationship with their audience and earn an independent living the Substack way. In her masterclass, she packages up everything bloggers and creators need to know to get started.

The Wellness Creator Show

Substack. It’s all anyone is talking about and if you’ve wondered what it is and if you should be on it, then you’ll want to listen to today’s interview with Sarah Fay. She is a Harper Collins Author, Adjunct Professor and Substack Strategist helping people to use the features and functions of the platform in ways beyond just sending a newsletter. She answers all of our Substack questions and shares her own experience. We discuss payment structures, Substack’s internal social media network, and what you stand to gain from joining the Substack community. We discuss why publishers recommend the platform to their authors, how to make the most of opportunities for cross-promotion, and whether or not opt-ins are relevant. Sarah also helps us to understand how the algorithm works and shares how she has leveraged the digital world to facilitate more dynamic content and interaction as an author.
