How to use Substack as a Reader
A Calm, Clear Walkthrough
Using Substack as a creator…. clearly - I can't speak more highly of it. It’s so simple, easy to use and flexible with all my different types of creations—whether I’m writing, podcasting, or sharing video.
But when it comes to using the platform as a reader- I know it can be a bit confusing. So I wanted to hop in and show you how I use Substack as a reader to follow my favorite creatives, connect in community and manage my digital consumption— without feeling overwhelmed.
In this video, I walk you through how I manage my inbox, engage in meaningful conversations and to organize how I read (without feeling overwhelmed by digital noise).
✨ Whether you’re just discovering Substack or want to use it more intentionally, this guide will help you:
📍 Navigate the Substack homepage + subscriptions inbox
📍 Understand the difference between following vs. subscribing
📍 Customize email notifications and in-app settings
📍 Use Substack Notes vs. your subscriptions inbox
📍 Connect through comments and build real community
📍 (And a peek at how I read Substack posts offline on my Kindle!)
This tutorial is perfect for anyone wanting to consume content more intentionally, support thoughtful creators, and turn Substack into a calm, creative space.
