Anybody with a Substack account can now publish posts on Substack\u2019s web and mobile app, the company announced<\/a> on Thursday, turning the newsletter platform into even more of a social network. (Currently, users publishing posts on their profile from mobile can only do so via the Substack iOS app, though support for Android is coming soon.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Substack members can publish content, get paid and free subscribers, and accumulate pledges from their Substack profile without needing to create a publication. Creating a publication, however, allows them to take advantage of more advanced features like a website, multiple admins, and sections. If they do choose to start a new one, Substack says<\/a>, they can import any subscribers they may have accumulated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Substack has been increasingly turning the publishing platform into a social network<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Users can\u2019t make their Substack profiles private, however, so anybody can follow and read posts. If they want to publish posts for a limited audience, they\u2019d have to create and link to a private publication on their profile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Along with these updates, Substack also announced that it\u2019s continuing to work on making the platform more mobile-friendly. Last month, the platform started letting users publish full posts<\/a> from the mobile app. Today, the company revealed it\u2019s also testing live video and in-app payments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
