You can't explain your Substack. Here's why.
Smarter Substack | May 26, 2026
Most creators spend months optimizing their content while leaving their first impression completely unfinished. Let’s fix that.
🧠 Strategy
Why You Can’t Describe Your Substack Without Sounding Vague — Vague positioning isn’t a writing problem — it’s a clarity problem, and it starts before the words. Rob Riker pinpoints the one question most creators are still skipping and why answering it fixes everything from your bio to your content direction.
🛠️ Tools & Features
Cool Color Palettes for Your Substack Homepage — Colors are the first thing readers feel before they read a word, and Substack gives more color control than most creators use. Andi Bitay breaks down every customizable color setting — from accent to footer — and shows real examples of publications that get it right.
🛠️ Tools & Features
I Built an Agent That Writes My Substack Notes for a Week in 20 Minutes — A week of Notes used to take Claudia Faith close to two hours — now it takes 20 minutes, and the system learns from her own performance data each week. The full workflow, the copy-paste prompt, and the scheduler tool are all in the post.
P.S. If your Notes aren’t growing your publication right now, the 365 Notes Templates will save you.
