Substack

Substack operates as a digital publishing platform that enables creators to distribute newsletters and podcasts directly to their audiences. The platform has expanded beyond its newsletter origins to offer podcast hosting and distribution services, allowing independent creators to publish audio content alongside their written work. Substack supports subscription-based monetization, enabling podcasters to generate revenue through paid subscriber models.

The platform serves as both a hosting solution and distribution network for podcasters, particularly those who create content in conjunction with newsletter publishing. Many independent podcasters and writers use Substack to build integrated content ecosystems that combine written and audio formats. The service caters to creators seeking direct audience relationships and subscription-based revenue streams, providing tools for both content distribution and subscriber management across multiple media formats.
