One of the best explanations and the bonus here is that you mentioned alternatives to substack. Great idea that we can build our own through any freelancer instead of paying 10%. Great video. Thanks.
The problem with traditional email newsletter providers are their costs. For newbees out of the gate, Substack is free to set up, only takes a 10% cut from "paid" subscriptions, and your email list is yours. However, all the content you create is on their platform, not yours. So for SEO, Substack gets all the benefits as well as if you are trying to build a user base, audience etc. where you may want to invest in ads, (since between AI, Google updates even SEO) are becoming less reliable, your ads would have to point to your Substack... Tough dilemma and I'm trying to find a way to combine both....Any thoughts?
Great video, my only comment is that if you are making $50,000 a month in revenue and you hire a full time person to do all the stuff they do $60k a year probably won't cut it so 10% is a great value proposition plus the opportunity cost of setting it all up yourself
Hmm, I guess I disagree. I don't think Substack is doing that much that you can't set up yourself for a few hundred dollars. (Plus any monthly fee on an email service provider which is much less than 10%).
Hi Spencer, thanks for the review. I have a questions though... all the alternatives you mentioned start charging you if your subscriber list exceeds 1000 members and I think Substack doesn't charge you even though you have 50k subs, isn't this true? I mean, wouldn't it be a good idea to use Substack just a free way to notify your TH-cam's subscribers whenever you post a new video? (obviously without using the paid version of Substack) Thanks
Hi there... my client has deep expertise in multiple areas ... Should he setup separate Substack accounts for each area, or should he consolidate all of his writings in a single account? .. thx much ...
Is Substack something that someone could start and grow and make money with, if they, right now, have no platform and are unknown and have no subscribers? Or does one need followers somewhere else first, that they can then redirect to Substack?
Under the Berne Convention, whatever you write has an instant copyright without you doing anything. Assuming Substack doesn't play the publisher, that copyright is yours. Keep in mind, however, that enforcing a copyright in court can be messy and expensive. Also, I'd strongly suggest you include a copyright notice with each posting. Include whatever limitations and permission you'd like to see observed.

Glad you enjoyed the explanation and the alternatives. Lots to think about, but 10% is a heavy price to pay.
You can have your own domain now
It looks like the substack team saw your video and fixed every drawback, except for fees.
Substack has custom domains now. But good video overall.
Thank you.

Strawberry blonde hair and a dark beard.. for sure a hybrid ET :) great video & appreciate you
What is the difference between Substack post and thread? Thanks.
Good points 👍
Awesome presentation!!!
Thx !! This was helpful.
My question is copyright. If i write on substack, it is immediately copyrighted?

Substack allows for a faster product to market than starting your own website
Why wouldn't you just have people send you money directly through cash app or PayPal?
Thanks for the freat video Spencer. Any suggestions on the best payment processor I could hook up to constant contact?
I don't know that one.
Thanks for the video. I didnt know about u, but now I do. Peace.
Video starts at 0:40
Cool beard. Let it grow. (but I'm biased in that regard)
Rock on! :)
That was a great help, thanks
I'm indifferent to beards 🧔🏼
Hello boss. Being a while. Nice look. I am not going with substack. It depends on the niche too. You split the beans well.👍👍👍
Glad you like the look! Thanks :)
not true - you can have your own branding and use your own domain or sub-domain
