Do you have a guide for setting up landing pages in Substack? Thanks for your energy. I’m 60 and starting a new career here after having to close a successful business. Appreciate finding another mature woman who isn’t afraid to pivot.

Not yet, but it’s on my list :)

Thanks for this beginner's guide to substack. It's very helpful. The only thing I'm still a little confused about is the newsletter. When someone subscribes do they get one welcome email and then the rest are posts you publish? Or do you have to write material for your newsletter separately from your posts?

Solo Shannon's avatar

It’s the posts you publish :) you can also send without publishing.

Thank you Shannon. Great information. It’s definitely a little overwhelming for the old school IT illiterate. 😁 Learning on the run! 🙌

That was quick! 😎

Thanks for the high praise ⭐✨

Although now I might have to consider the whole Substack vs WP yet again ... 🙄

Oh, well — at least whatever I end up doing will be thoroughly considered 😇

Being very new to Substack, I have been trying to understand this ecosystem. What a helpful post. Showing how Posts, Pages are treated similar to WP .. that finally helped it all fall in place.

I also grabbed your Google Doc set up product. Google Docs and Notion are my Storage and brains. I make a ton of Affiliate bonuses using Gdocs as my delivery channel.

Good stuff.. 👍

Shannon, I love ya, lady... this was the clear, concise, feel-good (one might say, *cozy* 😀) explanation I needed, and it really inspires and excites me to "get going" even more. From your workshop (using your affiliate link), I was able to start a Hostinger website and my old domain transfer was complete last Friday! I'm just a little discombobulated on organizing my thoughts, writings, topics, creations/products, etc. to *get going with consistency* on Substack- wanting to do it all NOW is where I constantly need to reign myself back. But... just need to say thank you again for helpful information 😊 ... You were my introduction to Substack, quite literally, and so now when I think of Substack or think about planning and scheduling time to tend to it, you automatically pop into my mind. LOL ☺️ Glad I found you and I appreciate your encouragement that got me going on this awesome platform.
