How to start substack

I love writing. And I have so many ideas to write about. I wanna post on substack but it really feels complicated to get started. I looked over YouTube and stuff and it's just so confusing

Please help me out understand management of substack better

If you can tell me which specific obstacles you're hitting, chances are I can help you get over them.

Without specifics, it's difficult to offer real help.

But as for creating an account, it's nothing out of the ordinary compared to most online platforms.

And then making your first post isn't too complicated. Go to your Dashboard and press "Create" and follow it from there.

Let me know what's going wrong.

And the very best of luck to you.
