![]() 1st biggest paid publication is The Dispatch and it has “Tens of thousands of subscribers, $10/month”.Substack maintains a list ( a) of its top writers where it features 25 publications that earn the most amount of money on its platform. Most recently, Substack was in the news for becoming the new home of several famous journalists who (often with a scandal) left the publications they were writing for, in order to write independently. Substack ( a) brands itself as a “place for independent writing” where the writers can “start a newsletter” and “make money from subscriptions”. > Every productivity thought I've ever had, as concisely as possible > How Life Sciences Actually Work: Findings of a Year-Long Investigation Buttondown is less popular, but it is worth a look for anyone considering starting their own newsletter.The most we can say about earnings of Substack's top writers However, I enjoy Buttondown’s feature and like the fact that posts are formatted in markdown. Had I studied the Buttondown vs Substack comparison before (see previous link), I would have found that Substack supports RSS without looking it up. If you are considering starting a newsletter, I suggest considering Buttondown. Substack is as good as the content on the platform. Mr. Sixsmith is correct, although “revival of the blogosphere” is a bit stronger take than I would offer. It’s in essence a revival of the blogosphere, which gave writers independent outlets, and readers more diversity of choice… Ben Sixsmith I’m not someone who thinks Substack will radically transform the media. Without getting too far into the weeds of the Substack hot takes, I will quote favorably from an article at The Spectator by Ben Sixsmith: Substack inspires unusually strong opinions for what is a basic newsletter and blog service. Upon learning this, I added a couple of interesting Substack RSS feeds to my desktop feed reader. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that Substack newsletters do have RSS feeds. Knowing that Buttondown offers RSS functionality, I became curious whether Substack does as well. This was one of the many features that inspired me to switch from Tiny Letter to Buttondown for our newsletter. Buttondown offers newsletter creators the option of having an RSS feed for their newsletters. The idea that a newsletter may have an RSS feed would not have occurred to me had I not begun using the Buttondown newsletter service for our official newsletter, The Newsletter Leaf Journal. The second reason is that my desktop feed reader became a bit messy.Īs I put together a new feed list, it occurred to me that there were a select few Substack authors who I would be interested in following via RSS. One reason for this is that I now have a very good RSS reader on my phone ( Feeder – I recommend for any Android-users) that I use for my morning read. Distinguishing Substack RSS Feeds from Substack’s Feed Reader However, because the Substack feed URL should always be the base URL of the newsletter followed by feed, there is no need to resort to looking in the page source. Simply view the page source and search for “feed” in the page source to find the RSS link. Substack RSS feeds also appear in the page source for the newsletter home page. (Of course, we make our feeds easy to find so you do not need to look up instructions.) For example, the RSS feed for our own New Leaf Journal is: Finding RSS feeds for WordPress sites works the same way. However, the RSS feed for the newsletter is simply the newsletter’s URL followed by “feed”: The only subscription option that is offered is email. Upon visiting the page, one will find no obvious sign that Ms. Weiss’s newsletter has an RSS feed. I will use the “ Common Sense with Bari Weiss” Substack newsletter as an example of how this works. ![]() You can find the RSS feed for your publication at. Substack notes on its information page for authors that it does: I looked up whether Substack offers RSS feeds for all of its newsletters. Substack does not feature RSS feeds for newsletters in an obvious way.
