Hi this is a really useful idea. Do you know how to stop Substack from directing people to ‘complete their subscription on the app’ after they subscribe? At the moment when somebody who doesn’t have the app subscribes they can’t actually get to the content because they can’t get past this screen
Unfortunately, I don't work FOR Substack. I just work on it. I have no control over default things and I do understand how annoying it can be for new subscribers.
I know you don'r work for Substack, I thought you might have some advice. I've done some experimenting today and I think that Substack might only direct new subscribers to the app if a pub is connected to Stripe.
Kristi, this has me thinking how running a Substack today is like the equivalent to having a zine back in the day. I own a record store, and I just decided I want to make a Substack wall, like how there used to be sections for underground zines: if anyone has cards, flyers, stickers, whatever promoting their Substack, send it and I'll put it up

What a friggin cool idea!!! You should totally write a post about this and send it out into the universe. I bet lots of writers would bite!
Working on it!
Done! I will post pics once it all comes together!

This is amazing advice! I’d totally hire you if I had money. Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome!! And you don't have to hire me to pay such a lovely compliment! Thanks!
Ha! :)
Thank you. A great tip
You’re very welcome!
That's a really cool idea, never considered this as an option!
I subbed because I've thought about this and now you've given me my sign.
Let's go.
Excellent!! Always follow the signs!
I recommend including the text link along with the QR code because not everyone can scan qr codes (-:
I took this advice one further and made a t-shirt with my Substack on it. Amazing how many people ask me about it.
Ha that's awesome!! What is the #1 thing people say/ask when they see it?
My shirt asks a question: “Who are your Accidental Mentors?” (https://www.annettemarquis.com/s/accidental-mentors), so they often tell me a story of one of their’s. It’s a perfect conversation starter.
That is brilliant! I love how you tailor the QR code to a specific question that will trigger interest. Now I want to do that 🤣
I want to be clear though—I didn’t use a QR code (next time!)—just printing on the shirt.
I love this idea! On it!
What you do is very interesting ❤️ thanks for helping fellow stackers. ❤️
My pleasure!
What a cool idea . I should do this for Insta too
Yup you can do it for anything!
Thanks for the tip, Kristi. Tried it on a QR Code generator. Works perfectly. 👍
Perfect! Happy networking!
Boom! I tend to ignore QR codes, but maybe I need to change that tactic. Good idea.
Oh Wow! Who would have thought??
This is super helpful.
Thanks Kristi
Wow great idea! Sounds like a fun creative project to do too😊Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Fantastic! I have my QR code for my blog. Wow! Done it in seconds.
👏👏👏
