What Substack is
Substack is a platform for people who want to make money from work they believe in. It is for users who want to publish under their own editorial control, without gatekeepers.
Users can start a Substack and build a publication around their work. They retain ownership of their intellectual property, mailing list and subscriber payments. The platform also includes discussions that users can join.
