Substack goes beyond mere blogging. It gives users a chance to link up with other content creators who are on the same wavelength. Some of its features - such as free subscriptions to users related to one's content - are automated. The editor is easy to use and quite intuitive. It also gives useful hints when the article is ready for posting or posted. There is also no pressure to post at specific times, and the user is free to set a frequency on their own or to not follow a regular schedule, but to post as and when the mood strikes.

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.

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.

the ease of use and drag and drop functionality for adding pictures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit confusing navigating. eg finding my past posts / notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use at the start. But it gets harder as you get going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They keep taking 10% no matter what. It's not scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's somewhere between a blog and a magazine; a good place to share your writings and thoughts, as well as monetize your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, its features are limited, and there could be more options for monetizing content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Substack offers a handy tool to write effective and excellent writing skills along with this it's easy to adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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 formatting text. If you are new in the industry and want to write blogs or newsletters, this is the best tool for that. Customer support is also very easy and available on support mail.

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.

You get the most direct connection with writers and researchers on Substack. The range of voices is outstanding, with viewpoint diversity and intelligent discussions. Beats all other platforms hands down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. I honestly love writing there, using the social network, and so forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
