Question

Substack? Own website + leave email field + some email sender on the backend?

Iván Fanego · Accepted Answer

It depends I guess.

I use website + email + ConverKit

But if your goal is mainly editorial, I think Substack saves a lot of time, helps with discoverability and you don't have costs

In my case, I prefer to "control de experience", automate some stuff and things like that

Richard Gao · Answer

I think you can do all of these.

Think of it as a multiple pronged attack.

The more avenues you have the better.

@ivan_fanego Thanks! Do you know if there are any issues with "owning the audience" if I move from substack?

@badrabouelanouar why such choice?

Iván Fanego · Answer

@lisadziuba As far as I know, you just need to export the emails, but I never used it. But in other cases, migrating for a platform is always a pain hehe
