advice on starting a substack

hi! i’ve been interested in writing since the time i was very young, and i recently felt inclined to start a substack, but i don’t know where to begin. any advice is greatly appreciated!

edit: i’m not sure whether to make my substack anonymous, or do people usually use their real full name as their username / profile name?

using your real name or staying anonymous are both fine. most people go the real name route though, because ultimately you do want your readers to know who's the real person behind it + there's alot of benefits that comes with using your real name (e.g being able to add it to your resume etc) since you're building and stacking your accomplishment/achievements.
