I have a question, Erica. Is it possible to have more than one audience in Substack? Two or more separate lists that recieve different kinds of content? I'm learning about the ability to have more than one publication in the same account, but I don't understand whether I can upload a separate CSV for a different publication. Do you know where I can learn about this?
Thanks for a good article!
BTW: I've added subs manually each time, as uploading a CSV has never worked for me. Long-time nerd and web designer, so I doubt it's me. =)
You can create "sections" under one publication, however, you cannot designate separate lists. The best you can do is direct your full subscriber list to unsubscribe themselves from "sections" of your publication they do not want to receive emails for.
Unfortunately, Substack doesn't allow for multiple lists under one publication. Just multiple sections that apply to your one whole list.
A work around for this can be to put your entire list in Substack and then create your sections AFTERWARDS. Within each section you can select NOT to include your previous subscribers to this section. This way you can inform your list of the new sections you've created and a step-by-step guide for how they can opt in to those sections.
It might seem like a terrible way for it to work, but other than creating multiple Substack publications in order to designate separate lists, it's the only way.
Thanks so much, Erica... that clears it up! I doubt Substack will add this as a feature, but it sure would be helpful for people who want to move audiences from other companies.
