So true and I realize I quite likely did that on the one and only post I’ve thus far made. Thank you for the advice. I’ve been so ill for so long, trying to push through and write again, I’m hopelessly outdated on tech platforms. Just praying for grace and thanking those who are kind and patient enough to help newcomers to this platform adapt (including an old-time print journalist like me). Thank you.
Are you saying we don't need to add "Subscribe" buttons to our posts since Substack adds them anyway? I am a free subscriber to my own Substack (using a different email), so I can see what the emails actually look like, and thanks to your post today, I realized the "Upgrade to paid" button already appears in the footer, so why bother adding it a second time? That seems annoying to me.
Great advice!

Thanks for the warning. I haven’t activated paid subscriptions, but it’s useful to know how they behave.
The Worshop was super useful! Thanks for bringing them back!

I have always hated that the button uses the language “Upgrade to paid.” I have long wanted to customize mine, but it seems it’s not possible?
Looking forward to it. I have questions about the buttons, especially for those reading in email only.
