Arguments supplémentaires de vente
While Substack is a closed platform that you have little control over, Ghost is open source and extremely flexible. A Ghost publication can be completely customised to suit the needs of all kinds of publishers and authors.
On Substack, you’re locked into a single design with some basic settings and no ability to create your own website or landing pages to promote your growing newsletter business.
With Ghost you always own your content, subscriber lists and even the code because it’s completely open source. This means if Ghost the company disappears, you can continue to run your membership business in perpetuity.
It’s possible to build a completely custom newsletter, like Publisher Weekly:
