Is Substack the hottest social platform? - Ep 62

from Create and Consume · host Austen Tosone

You've all heard me discuss the importance of long-form content and how it can help creators build a deeper connection with their audiences. There's so much more room for nuance and for personality to shine through when it comes to blogging, YouTube, podcasts and newsletters. In this episode, we're diving into the world of Substack—talking all about who is using the platform, how to approach Substack-style newsletter content, what makes it different from traditional email marketing and what some of my favorite newsletters are to subscribe to. Plus, I'm addressing why I don't personally have a Substack as a creator.Mentioned in episode 62:Long-form content renaissance episodeThe sleek blowout recipeOne Golden Summer bookBack Row by Amy OdellBook Enthusiast by Becca FreemanOlivia’s SubstackThe B List by Bella GerardThis Needs Hot Sauce by Abigail KofflerLate Bloomer by Elly AyresAhead of the Kirb by Kirbie JohnsonPearl by Kristina RodulfoOh Eight by Gabby WhitenBeccaland by Becca Glasser-BakerThe Emsider by Emily PolnerZelena Travel by Michelle ZelenaDylana’s Substack by Dylana SuarezCheck The Bag by Olivia MarcusNobody’s Home by Sydney GoreGlossed Over by Dani CohenMy newsletterFollow Create & Consume:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | PinterestFollow Austen:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | BlogPodcast inquiries can be sent to [email protected] the website: https://www.createandconsumepodcast.com/Music credit: Babak Bazgosha via Pond5
