Our software makes it easier than it’s ever been to publish your research, analysis, ideas, and opinions online, with no algorithms or ads getting between you and your subscribers.</p><p>A Substack publication functions like a blog, but with email. Publishers can deliver posts to the web and email simultaneously, so you can find new readers while always reaching your existing audience. Meanwhile, your publication page on the web acts as a traditional blog would—a permanent online archive of all your posts. These posts can include podcasts, audio clips, video, file embeds, and more. Publishers choose whether to add a paywall to their posts or to make them free for all readers.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-flexDirection-column pc-paddingTop-32 pc-paddingBottom-32 pc-reset _border-bottom-detail_v5lqv_31 _container_1087o_1"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-16 pc-justifyContent-space-between pc-alignItems-flex-start pc-reset"><div class="pencraft pc-reset _color-primary_h3mln_166 _line-height-20_h3mln_80 _font-text_h3mln_106 _size-15_h3mln_47 _weight-semibold_h3mln_148 _reset_h3mln_1">How will readers get my work?</div><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="_icon_1087o_22"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle><path d="M8 12h8"></path><path d="M12 8v8"></path></svg></div><div style="height:0px;transition:height 250ms var(--animation-smoothing), opacity 250ms var(--animation-smoothing);display:block;flex-direction:column;opacity:0;clip-path:polygon(0 -100%, 100% -100%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);"><div style="padding-top:0.05px;padding-bottom:0.05px;display:block;flex:0 0 auto;flex-direction:column;transition:transform 250ms var(--animation-smoothing);transform:translateY(-4px) scale(0.995);"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-paddingTop-16 pc-reset _answer_1087o_16"><div class="pencraft pc-reset _color-secondary_h3mln_169 _line-height-20_h3mln_80 _font-text_h3mln_106 _size-15_h3mln_47 _weight-regular_h3mln_142 _reset_h3mln_1"><p>For each post, you can choose who will receive it (free subscribers, paid subscribers, or everyone) and whether or not it will be sent by email.
