How do I create a publication on Substack?

New to Substack? Follow these steps to create your first publication.

1. Create an account by clicking on Start Writing on Substack.com.

2. Set up your profile with a photo, your first name, and a short bio.

3. Choose a subdomain for your publication.

Tip: The publication's name, subdomain, and description can be changed anytime on your publication's Settings page.

4. Have a mailing list? Import them in one step by uploading a .csv file or skip and import at a later time.

5. Invite your friends, family, readers to your Substack by entering their email addresses. Or share your unique publication link: https://publicationname.substack.com

6. That's it! Your publication is now live. If you're not ready for readers to discover your publication, head to your publication's Settings page and select the toggle next to "Private mode".

Can I have multiple publications attached to the same Stripe account?

At the moment, it's not possible to link two publications to the same Stripe account; you must have a separate Stripe account for each publication.
