Overall Satisfaction with Substack
I think that it is a great idea but I don’t think that they offer enough integration with other platforms, or provide enough ideas about how to market your substack or make it stand out in a crowded niche
- Self publishing
- Database management
- Good interface
- It can feel like you’re shouting in to the mist
- Would be good if there was more integration with blog CMS
- Needs more support helping people getting a paying database
- Take control of newsletters
- More personal than social media or website
- Good for archives
- I haven’t made any money from it
- Can be disheartening when you realise you’re putting in maximum effort for minimum audience
I believe Substack seemed to offer a monetising solution to a very time consuming, labour of love blog, but it turned out to be just another dead end. The interface and ease of use is great, but it’s not as chunky with as detailed UX as other newsletter platforms I’ve experienced.
