Hey Linda, can I get a follow to help my notes visibility with other authors? If I understand the system right, which I might not, authors notes are visible to their followers and their follower's followers. If so, I may have an easier time connecting with other authors that way.
Is there a way to easily set up a subscription page on substack to drive traffic from social ads too? I've been experimenting with ads and found it's easy to get people to the site - but subscriptions is low. I'd like to drive them to a designated subscribe page with some sort of reward or benefit from subscribing.
Go to your Settings > Website > Pages, and create a "New page." Once you've done that and inserted your subscription buttons, you can add it to your Navigation by making it a "New link." Otherwise, you can just post the URL that leads directly to that page on whatever media you want.
Oh so I've been copying pasting a customized "upgrade to paid" button from an old post to all my new posts for nothing. Good to know, TY for the useful info! prob saved me some time
I have absolutely no idea of what a subscriber is; but, none-the-less, each daily experience is, usually, better than the last. Especially today, when I found only the second useful “white on black” placard. Also 12/18 must be a philosopher holiday.
Feel free to follow and subscribe as well Linda! I really enjoyed reading this and will make sure that I put in more subscribe buttons moving forwards 😀
Thanks, Linda, for the post. I’ve used those buttons and haven’t really seen that growth. Any other ideas? Is it a notes thing? I post my writing on other socials too.

Got it so there is no way to specifically source links etc?
Could you clarify what you mean?
Sure - so I want to know I got this subscriber from a specific version of an ad so say the source is ad1
Could I do SITE?source=ad1 and have that attach as where the subscriber came from so we can optimize content?
Oh, jeepers! I am not that knowledgeable. That might be possible, but your guess is better than mine.

How did you add that subscribe button at the top of your newsletter?
Thanks in advance,
- Substack Writer
I figured it out I think you have to be a non subscriber to see that button in. The way I’m talking about.
Someone plz confirm? Thanks 🙏🏼
I need to start adding my subscribe button to my articles as well. Have been slacking off on that
ThanksL Linda for this - discovering this a year later but never too late! Would you have some insights on growing paid subscribers as well?
Good features

When I follow here that doesn’t mean I want the newsletter. Because that’s double up.

Thank you for a very valuable post 👍

Super helpful, Linda.
Where is it most appropriate to place the subscribe buttons?
I’ll check out your Substack.
Didn’t know this, thank you for sharing this information!
Wait…what is that “book a meeting” option in your drop-down? Have we always had that? Do I have it? I've never noticed?!
