Expanded the categories is terrific. That way we have a greater probability of ranking higher in a category based on how well we fit.

As always Kristina, your video was worth watching. Thank you for sharing what you know and sussing out more about the categories.

I'm surprised there is no list. Must be subs secret 😂

Technological novice that I am after finding the different categories I can’t seem to find how to connect from my Dashboard Substack. Unable to grasp the process.

Kathy, I'm lost on my phone, too, but it's easier to getaround on a computer. Some is counterintuitive, but I'm convinced I will soon know where what is l

This is so very helpful! I’m reworking my tags and categories and working to tailor my writing around them.

Very interesting! So do we add the tags just like how add tags now, in the settings of the post? Or is that not possible yet?

Hi Sophie, my recommendation would be to start right now!

I don't have a list of all the new categories. I guess Substantial share it or we have to crowdsource them . Because there's also not a list with the 29 main categories.

So let me know if you see a new category in your category tabs

Thanks Kristina! This is very informative. I do wish there was a home and garden or gardening category. There’s nothing that fits hobbies and passions.

One thing I am super confused about.

Are tags simply a way for us to organize our own work, or...are they ways people can search/find/discover our work, they way do in YouTube for example?

Hi Ramon, sure. My next video is about tags. Tags influence also the category tabs we now can see

What are you categories, Julie?

Many thanks. 😍😍

Would love to use Author Interviews and/or Online Trainings in the future.

Happy weekend!

My categories are Health & Wellness and Travel. My superpowers are Photography and Teaching. I had education at the beginning but needed something that included health.

I'm learning so much so fast about Substack and I am building out my presence there, it is quite fun and challenging.

Smart! You told me this also in the bootcamp in the chat, am I right?

Travel 100%

Health & Wellness also good.

Think with the new categories you could then also go with "Health if it becomes a category, what I think it will.

Love Substack for rolling out so many new features.

See? The only constant is change ^^
