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.`
This was very helpful! Thank you! For adding a link, it would be nice to have a drop down list of my own posts so I can link to my own posts easily. (Wordpress has this) You mentioned linking to your own work but I believe you said you have to copy and paste the link and it will show up beautifully with an image. Is there an easy way to get the link? I hope that makes sense. Thank you.
Posts have a little 'share' button along the top, or near the title if you're looking on your archive/home page. If you're viewing the post itself, you can also just grab the URL from the browser.

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!
