Well first ... thanks for the compliment. As for Paper.li, I don't know. But as for Substack, they are really cool. They provide you with statistics and tell you how many clicks. I have to say clicks. It showed the link was clicked on but I can't definitely say the content was read. I also have it set up so that I know when I subscriber has disabled their eMail and no longer want to receive the newsletter.

I never did get around to using Paper.li because we got a plugin and had a coder design a bespoke feature for us on our site. But I'm very interested in this Substack - I'll look it up and see if it's something that's worth exploring for our blog. Thanks for sharing that bit of information

Do they allow you to republish your work somewhere else?

When you say "they" I'm assuming Substack. With Paper.li, I put in a few RSS feeds and the paper automatically generates headlines based on that. However, with Substack you can do a lot of different things.

I share links from my articles or blog post with a quick blurb to get the reader's attention, hoping they will click-through and visit my monetized content.

Some people write articles specifically for their newsletter.

I think, although I have never used this feature, you can import your content from elsewhere and publish it via the newsletter.

I really like Substack. They are very flexible. Right now I offer a Free Subscription. But some publishers have Paid Subscriptions. Some publishers have Mixed Subscriptions. In other words, you can read a few articles free; but if you want to read more you have to pay for a subscription. Some publishers simply request a small donation to continue publishing. Pound for pound, Substack is way better than Paper.li.
