I have yet to begin writing on Substack, but when I do, I will be confident that I can create a visually appealing post with useful features for my (hoped-for) readers. Thank you so much for providing this great education!
Simon, thank you sooooo much for creating this video series. We started our newsletter here on Substack several months ago, but I still learn something new in each video. We are actively looking for ways to improve and optimize our newsletter and your videos are definitely helping us reach our goal. So, thank you.
Watching this series in March of 2025 and can say it is still quite relevant and insightful. Thanks, Simon! I am gearing up to start my first Substack publication, as you call it, and it has been overwhelming trying to get it all "right" to start. I am hoping to just use it as a means of self-exploration and getting my ideas and thoughts down on digital paper, so am trying to be easy on myself and just have fun with it. Whoever reads it, well, reads it and I will aim to be content no matter what! Your videos have helped me move in that direction. Thanks again.
Clear, helpful and succinct article summarising the Substack post editor.
An additional note on the "Subscribe now" button that I learnt is that on posting your article the button will look slightly different depending on the readers subscription state.
- Subscribed state: Shows as a tick with the word "Subscribed".
- Unsubscribed state: Shows a text field with "Type your email" on the left of the subscribe button.`
Thank you for doing this. In this vidoe, you talk about a a later seperate vidoe om emails bammer and other banner. I am an Newbie on Substack(not a newbie to tech as I used to write about it). I have made a post, but not email banner, not banners.
I contacted the only support Substack has, AI, 3 times. The were not helpful, lied to me twice and changed something off topic on my account only telling after it had done so - so slightly scary and not helpful. I've been looking through your post, but can't find the one about email banners and email headers. I would be very grateful.
Oh, I see. When I go to edit one of the headers, it pops up something which looks like a post editor. I can edit it however I want, and there’s a ‘save’ button at the bottom-right of the page.
Thanks for all the info.

Really glad! Thanks for reading/watching. :)
Gosh, this helpful. Thank you so much. I'm sixty, but of a Luddite, baffled. But not much longer!
Happy to help, Diana!

If you’re having fun with it, there’s a good chance readers will also have fun with it!
This is really helpful, Simon! Thanks loads. I'm so pleased that I'm gonna give your science fiction a read! ;-)
Happy to help! And hope you enjoy Triverse. :)
This was very helpful. Thank you!
🤯🤓
Ok I’ll watch it many times I need
And comes with English subtitles to help
💕
Lots of work Simon
To me it is like a be inside of a woman uterus when the baby is growing
We can’t see the power but the full power production is there is some many details
🙂😝😏
Lots lots of work Simon
There is a space to something more on your life ?
I ll need perseverance here to learning deeply as I would like to
✨
Haha! It is difficult to fit everything in. A time machine would be useful.
I watch fewer movies and play less video games, that’s the main sacrifice. Everything else is continual balancing act!
I’m still overwhelmed, but at least now I’m also intrigued and excited about potentially creating snd sharing! Thank you for the clarity.
Happy to help! As this video is a few months old now, do shout if you run into anything that’s changed and is now confusing. :)
Thank you for making this !👏
This is so so so helpful! Thank you so much!
I joined Substack because of all your emails! Glad to see this video and have a clearer explanation as to what you, I mean, I have got myself into! :D
Sorry about all the emails. 😁
Hope you enjoy it here - I've found it a very rewarding and creative place to hang out.
Really clear and helpful!

Ps. I can upload the photo, but how to save the whole damn thing eludes me.
Hi Simon
Thank you for doing this. In this vidoe, you talk about a a later seperate vidoe om emails bammer and other banner. I am an Newbie on Substack(not a newbie to tech as I used to write about it). I have made a post, but not email banner, not banners.

Sounds like you’re looking for the header and footer settings. You can get to this from your dashboard settings. There’s also a quick link to those settings at the top of a new post when you’re writing it. I mention them briefly here: https://open.substack.com/pub/simonkjones/p/how-to-write-a-substack-post?r=3rwg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
I don’t think I’ve got round to looking more closely at how they work yet, though.
Sorry, Simon
Sorry, Simin, you lost me.....
I have found them, that is not the issue. I can upload, but I cannot find a 'save'. Ai support day it should be there?
