How to use Substack: from Basic Setup to Creating Paid Newsletters
Email Marketing for Independent Freelance Writers
I just published my English e-book. It’s available on Amazon.
There is a growing interest in Substack, a service that allows anyone to send out newsletters free of charge.
Substack is a great way for freelancers and small businesses to send out newsletters at no cost. It’s free and you can publish multiple newsletters along with having no limit to the number of subscribers you can have. It’s also easy for anyone to create a paid newsletter.
In this book, I am going to explain how to use Substack. Please note that Substack is a work in progress, and the specification is being improved and changed. The content of this document is current at the time of publication and may not be up to date.
