Thanks for sharing. I’ve seen a million posts about how to get more followers, but half the battle is utilizing the website properly.

I don’t know if I’m just an old lady now…but I always try to find how tos on YouTube, and there seems to be none for utilizing Substack options. 👵🏻

I’m only 32, but with the rate technology grows I wonder if I’m falling behind. I have no idea how social media, tik tok, stories, or all of these phone features work. My mom recently showed me how to take a picture of something and find the item on the internet. She has an android, it took me an hour to figure it out with my iPhone.

Luna. You're not alone!! Substack used to be so simple, you just signed up and started writing. Not anymore though.

Im so glad you're finding my content helpful. I've never thought about adding tutorials to my YouTube but for sure I try to post one helpful usage tip each week.

I always wondered how to make an email banner and my brain would freeze up when I thought about dimensions and pixels. My eyes are unglazing now. Will try your suggestions. Thank you Kristi - this was helpful!

It's not that complicated. Just go to Canva and search for Twitter banners. Customize the ones you see or start from a blank canvas

I don't have that button. Is it only available in the app or only when you have paid subscription on?
