Why I'm Leaving Substack for Ghost

Join us on Fictional Influence: https://kristinmctiernan.com After 5 years on Substack, I decided it was time to move to Ghost. In today's video, I cover the two reasons Substack worked for me in the first place, then the specific frustrations that pushed me out: mobile design limits, the email-gate landing page, and Google's allergic reaction to Substack URLs. I also walk through the financial math at my subscriber tier, why I yeeted ~1,000 inactive subscribers without a second thought, and how painless the migration was. If you're a writer or creator weighing where to host your platform, this is the unvarnished version. Stay on Substack if it's working. Switch if it isn't. Either way, you should know what you're trading. 🎬 Love this video? Get early access to all my content and priority in the comments by becoming a channel MEMBER.
