Aw, thank you!

Which of these do you feel helps provide exposure/visibility and brings opportunities to garner/show new readers to even convert them into subscribers? Whats are good ways to promote a newsletter/blog? Thanks!

Thanks for the overview! Is there a way to resend to non-openers in Substack - currently a Revue user and this option isn't there (yet) and I am told it's not likely this will be added anytime soon!

Not as far as I'm aware. That's more like a feature you'd find in a marketing email suite, than an editorial email software feature.

New subscriber here. Good video comparison. Substack is getting a lot of hype but it does seem rather bland. Revue looks like it’s worth a closer look.

Yes, Revue doesn’t get the hype (perhaps partly because it’s Dutch rather than American) but it’s a very good platform.

hey, does Substack offer you access to your subscribers’ email addresses (be it when free or when monetising, if it makes a difference) ? Thank you

As far as I know Substack does offer you access to email addresses of your subscribers; however, subscribers also have an option to hide email address. If they choose to hide it, you don't have access to it.

Hey I really liked your video but the problem with Substack is that all my newsletters are landing up in the promotion tab in gmail.. Any solution for this?

@bigrevolution6908

2 жыл бұрын

If it's the newsletters you're sending that are ending up in your subscribers' promotion tab, the main solution is to encourage them to move it into the main inbox tab until Gmail learns that's where they want it. If you can switch the emails to come from your own domain rather than Substack's that might help too, but as with Google's search algorithm, Gmail's sorting seems to get tweaked a lot.

They both support custom domains, although Substack charges a $50 fee for this.

Does revue require subscribers first before an article can be published? It seems that I can’t publish my work, it’s asking to whom it should be sent to.

You’ll need at least one subscriber or there’s no-one to send it to! You can always subscribe yourself to get started.

Once it’s published, it’ll be visible on a web page from your Revue profile page, but because it’s a newsletter, you need at least one email address on your subscriber list. You can link to the issue’s web page on social media etc to promote the newsletter once it’s published.

@@bigrevolution6908 Awesome, thanks for this. I am still not able to find one solution though. I have multiple audiences which I want to target. For eg: Audience 1 should receive email 1. Audience 2 should receive email 2. And so on... (An audience is a group of subscribers here) And this has to be done on both ends, the place which has a form where people can subscribe and my dashboard where I can send emails. Note: All audiences are paid so I need a payment page as well for all sections. Can we get this done with Sections or is there any other way I can achieve this?
