Complete Step-By-Step Guide To Start Substack The Right Way
The Only Ultimate Guide You'll Need To Set Up In 15 Minutes Or Less—without the Tech Overwhelm.
Today, I’m going to guide you step-by-step to create your substack publication the right way without the tech overwhelm—and in minutes, not hours.
Hey Fellow Writer,
When I started my Substack, I had one goal: to create something meaningful while earning from my creativity.
But the first hurdle? Setting it up.
It seemed simple—until it wasn’t.
Which theme should I choose?
How do I make it look professional?
What publication name should I choose?
What if I mess something up?
…and worst of all—how long will this actually take?
Sound familiar?
If you’re an aspiring creator, I get it.
The fear of looking amateurish or making the wrong choice can stop you before you even begin.
But here’s the truth: your creativity matters more than a perfect setup.
And the faster you get your Substack live, the faster you can connect with your audience and share what you love.
That’s why I’ve created this super-simple guide.
…with little tricks and hacks here and there!
It’s not packed with fluff or jargon.
It’s the exact steps I wish someone had handed me when I was starting out.
With this guide, you’ll have your Substack up and running in minutes, not hours.
And don’t worry if you’re not tech-savvy—I’ve added screenshots and clear instructions to guide you every step of the way.
Here’s the outcome:
By the end of this guide, you’ll have a clean, professional-looking Substack ready to share with the world.
No second-guessing.
No overwhelm.
And if you get stuck?
Don’t stress.

Because it’s a step-by-step guide with screenshots and vidoes, it became too long to put everything in one post.
