The magic of your Substack About page

I love it when people ask me if their Substack About page matters.

  • Does anyone really look at it?

  • Don’t some successful Substacks have, like, nothing there?

  • Why bother?

Well, we don’t know for sure because Substack doesn’t give us those stats, but I’ll give you two reasons why I think it does:

  1. It’s very prominent on the app.

  2. Many people won’t freely give out their email addresses and certainly not their money for a paid subscription without checking out the source.
