Amazingly helpful!! 👏 👏 👏 I have some doubts to clear. If we create multiple sections to cover sub topics for same audience(or could be different), for example, I was wondering if I should create sections for different programming languages that will all fall under the main topic of Full-stack development.In such a case, arecwe expected to write ✍ on all the section topics weekly or take weekly turns to write them?
And, in the case of multiple publications under one main substack account,where we write on multiple diverse niches in different publications, arexwe expected to write in all the publications every week regularly or rotate and take turns?In other words how to maintain the pace for multiple sections or publications in either of the two cases? Just curious to know. 😊. Many thanks again for putting together the steps and explanations for improving our substack experience...
1. you can create sections for each language under one umbrella in this case. I think that's work well.
2. It's more work to run multiple publications, for sure. You can decide on frequency of posting. Whatever works for you. I'd only go with separate pubs if the topics are truly entirely different.
Creating sections is less work, I'd say. It's easier to maintain because it's only one subscriber pool to maintain. Two publications are completely separate. You start from scratch with number 2.
With the former approach, do people fully understand that there are two sections that you subscribe to separately? Do most subscribers subscribe to both?
@Sarah K Peck this is what I meant about organising your work in sections in case you’re still looking for a solution.
alright , noted with thanks 😊
Thank you for this!

What do you view as the upside of this approach vs starting another substack? What are the downsides?

Probably depends.
No, they have no clue. Sections are incredibly difficult to market.
Super helpful post on Sections, thank you!
I appreciate that a lot. Glad to hear you like it.
Im wondering if Substack will allow you to merge newsletters. I know I can download my content and reupload, but maybe there is an easier way
