"Easy Publishing and Audience Growth with Built-In Sharing and Subscriber Options"
What do you like best about Substack?

I like

I can grow an audience/build a community at no cost through search and recommendations from other writers

it's easy to use - write, include a title, publish

it's easy to share - social links are made available immediately after publishing

I can make some posts free and some for paid subscribers only

Creating/participating in chat around an article or thought is easy and much better than trying to follow a conversation on social media Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Substack?

I don't like

some new features that make it easy for marketer to use it solely for promotion - not for writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Content Writing"
What do you like best about Substack?

Substack is an easy-to-use interface that allows writers to set up and manage their newsletters without having technical knowledge. It enables artists to monetize their material in a variety of ways, including paid memberships, exclusive content for subscribers, and the ability for readers to directly support writers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Substack?

Because Substack allows anybody to establish a newsletter, there is a broad variety of content quality. This absence of editorial monitoring may result in the spread of misinformation or low-quality content.

While Substack provides monetization alternatives, it may be difficult for certain writers to create a sizable paying subscriber base, particularly in highly competitive sectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New way for writers to earn money"
What do you like best about Substack?

On Substack, you can categorize your posts into publications. There's no limit to how many publications you can create, although you won't want to bite off more than you can chew, this publication functionality works whether you're trying to build a micro media empire or just a space to blog on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Substack?

Substack certainly lets you get started quickly, but do you really want to spend hours each week on a newsletter, only to send it once and have it never see the light of day again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very good tool to run a free newsletter and has all the features like writing, editing and formating text. If you are new in the industry and want to write blogs or newsletter this is the best tool for that. Customer support is also very easy and available on support mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Substack?

signup process can be more simple and this tool lacks many features and does not have many integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
