Substack

Overview

Substack is a subscription-based media platform founded in 2017 that empowers independent creators, including professional writers, podcasters, and video producers, to publish content directly to their subscribers. The platform allows creators to monetize their work through paid subscriptions while maintaining control over their content and community engagement. Substack offers tools for publishing newsletters, articles, podcasts, and videos, enabling creators to connect with their audience via email and web.

Established in San Francisco by Chris Best, Jairaj Sethi, and Hamish McKenzie, Substack has grown to support tens of millions of weekly active users. The platform emphasizes a direct payment model, letting creators set their own prices and retain a significant share of revenue. Community-building tools, private Substacks, and resources further assist creators in fostering direct relationships with readers and achieving success.
