Are you ready to take your newsletter or publication to the next level? While Substack is a fantastic starting point, growing creators often hit a wall regarding customization, SEO limitations, and platform fees. Migrating from Substack to Ghost is the strategic move for publishers who want total control over their brand, their code, and their revenue.

At Associative, a premier software development firm headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, we specialize in helping businesses and creators navigate complex digital transformations. We ensure your move to Ghost is seamless, preserving your hard-earned SEO rankings and subscriber relationships.

Why Migrate from Substack to Ghost?

Moving to Ghost offers distinct advantages for scaling publications:

  • Zero Transaction Fees: Unlike Substack, Ghost does not take a cut of your subscription revenue.

  • Complete Design Freedom: Break free from rigid templates with fully custom themes.

  • SEO Dominance: Ghost is built for SEO, giving you granular control over metadata and sitemaps.

  • Integrations: Connect your publication to thousands of tools via Zapier and API integrations.
