Thank you for explaining Substack. I've kind of stumbled into it without really understanding it and I lack the bandwidth in doing my own homework on it. So well done! Also, and this is not a shock, I think it suits you as a platform because you write well.
So glad it was helpful! Substack is a bit strange, I find — the newsletter-straight-into-your-inbox side of it is so brilliantly and intuitively designed, but the rest of it can feel quite unwieldy.
This is so helpful! I’ve been here nearly two years and I didn’t know you could save an article.
I was signed up to newsletters from here for five years before that but didn’t come to the site until I moved my newsletter here in november 2022. You definitely don’t need to come.
I do look at notes so I quite like the follow option if I’m not yet sure I want something in my inbox but I’d like to keep an eye on what they’re publishing.
Very useful Alexina - I will try to share with my mother as she is reluctant to subscribe to SubStack - fearing that she will have to pay and give her bank details
I'm so pleased this was helpful Caroline! I think it can be a bit confusing/overwhelming at first. And although Substack would hate me for saying this, it's good to remember that you can simply subscribe to a newsletter with your email address, no additional details required, and enjoy someone's writing from your inbox!

Ahh, thanks Bill! Glad I could be of some help. And lovely of you to say -- I'm really enjoying writing on Substack - it feels very effortless :)
This was excellent. Thank you! 😊 Just started on Substack and floundering somewhat!

Absolutely! The Notes I’m tempted to leave entirely 😁
Right decision, I reckon!!
This is an EXCELLENT summary and will be so useful to many. Congratulations for going to the effort!!!
Thank you Jo!

Ah i’m glad that it is! That’s a really good point about the benefit of following over subscribing actually…
So helpful to be told how to save an article! Thank you.
