Awesome! Love the use of a channel for this, really helps tie together external writing into a single spot ✨ I came across your substack newsletter when I first started there, but now it looks like you post on paragraph? Do you double publish it or is it different writing? Trying to figure out my own workflow 😊

I’m publishing twice, but only sending via substack or paragraph so readers only get 1 email Migrating to paragraph at the moment, but need to move premium subs + make sure delivery works well Then I’ll set up an onchain membership (not only fiat) Lots to do

I see, so you’ve blended the email address list between the two, rather than separate the paragraph list and substack list? And for on chain membership, is that where @hypersub comes in? Appreciate the insight! Still trying to figure out a workflow with minimal double posting, considering I also put on my blog

Yes, i was blending towards Substack Now I am blending towards Paragraph At some point I will just use Paragraph, ideally soon Hypersub is for the onchain subs, currently using normal subs via substack. That's the last step

Makes sense! So will you permanently redirect your previous substack posts to paragraph? And how does this all fit in with your website? Will you direct paragraph to your custom domain? Sorry for all the questions, generally trying to sort it all out as I integrate things with my site and really appreciate it 😊

This is my biggest challenge at the moment (+ how many readers won’t get my emails from paragraph because they get lost in spam or delivery issues) Cont 👇

Some facts (maybe you can help me figure this out) 1. Currently I am only getting 300-400 monthly views via SEO. 2. I’ve 300 articles in substack. 3. I like substack discovery, currently getting 200 new subs per month there. I’m also bestseller there, so I show up in the leaderboards Cont 👇

4. I also use substack for my podcast (it replicates it to other platforms) Cont 👇

My current plan: 1. Keep everything on substack, continue to post there(but not send emails there). 2. Figure out how to move all the articles - beehiiv has a migration tool, not sure if @colin has something that can help me 3. Point domain to paragraph 4. Use substack domain on substack Cont 👇

What do you think @wanderloots.eth? Maybe I shouldn’t care too much about migrating old content? 🤷‍♂️

These are great questions, and what have been taking up most of my brain power lately haha. 1. SEO issue might be tied to the substack domain reference (i've heard poor stats for SEO from substack hosted sites, but can't confirm myself) 2. 300 articles is A TON of IP, so I wouldn't discount it lightly cont👇

3. The substack discovery of 200 subs a month is a wildly great stat; agree you should continue posting there, if not emailing from substack 4. I think your podcast should be fine as is, can always migrate to another host when true web3 podcasting comes out (assuming you're using RSS for distribution) cont 👇

5. @colin mentioned the other day they're working on a substack migrator, so I think I'd hold off on beehiv for now (not sure on the ETA though) 6. migrating old content matters most because of where it will now be displayed for SEO purposes, you want to keep the date and info, but avoid duplication imo. cont 👇

so, we get into the issue of being unable to point two systems to one domain. Since you're planning on using substack as an archive, you could point substack to a subdomain of your main site (which @paragraph now points to (e.g., sub.kaloh.xyz) but, not 100% ideal for SEO, though I've been reading that... cont 👇

subdomains are not the worst for SEO, just not as ideal as having them all under one domain. (also posted an image to the last one, but it didn't work) An option would be to point substack at a github repo (i think), and point the github repo to a subdirectory on your main site (e.g., kaloh.xyz/archive) cont 👇

All of this completely avoids the issue of frames and being able to display a website directly. @paragraph is a great solution. I personally host wanderloots.com on bluehost using wordperss, and have been trying to think how to add web3 publishing without double posting everywhere. I don't have the issue... cont 👇

The future will, i think, involve minting everything first for record keeping/ instantly building in crypto rails. I would say your best bet is to just permanently point your substack to an archive as a subdomain or subdirectory. Then you get the archive without migrating. I'll stop rambling 😂 Thoughts?

Super generous. I benefited from reading this, too. I still have a bunch of old posts in an active Substack with a domain name that points to my ghost.org site. I’m told I ought repost the old content on my new site and then delete that which is on Substack. It all seems a bit too messy. I’ll watch & learn here…
