- Description: We move your newsletter from Substack or Beehiiv to Ghost — posts, free and paid subscribers, your domain and your design — so your audience is truly yours.

**Substack takes 10% of your paid subscription revenue and keeps your readers inside its app. Ghost® takes no cut of your revenue: you only pay Stripe's card fees, on your own domain, with your own design. We move your newsletter for you — posts, free and paid subscribers, domain and email sending — with no break for your readers.**

## Why newsletter writers move to Ghost

- **Keep your revenue.** No platform commission on your paid subscriptions.
- **Own your audience.** Your list, your domain, your brand — not a profile on someone else's network.
- **A real website around your newsletter.** Pages, archives, tags and search that work for Google, not only for the inbox.
- **Still part of a network.** Ghost 6 connects your publication to the social web, so readers on other platforms can follow you.

## What we migrate from Substack and Beehiiv

1. **Your posts** — imported with Ghost's official migration tools, with images, embeds and publication dates.
2. **Free subscribers** — imported into Ghost, ready to receive your next issue.
3. **Paid subscribers** — Substack bills through Stripe: by connecting the same Stripe account to Ghost, paying subscribers can keep their subscription without entering their card again. We check your setup before the move.
4. **Your domain** — your newsletter and website on your own address.
5. **Email sending** — your domain authenticated (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) so issues land in the inbox, not in spam.
6. **Your design** — website and email template in your brand colours.
7. **Redirects** — if your publication already ran on your own domain, old `/p/…` addresses are sent to their new page.

## Price

Every migration is different: a five-page site and an archive of 8,000 articles are not the same job. We look at your current site during a free 30-minute call, then send you a **fixed quote** covering the migration, the redirects and the switch-over. No surprise on the invoice.

Once live, your site is hosted and looked after on our [managed website plan](https://abstract27.com/services/): hosting, security updates, backups, newsletter sending and content changes on request.

## How it works

1. **Free call.** We look at your current site, its traffic and what must move, and answer your questions.
2. **Fixed quote.** You receive a clear plan and a price before anything starts.
3. **Migration on a preview address.** Your current site stays online while we build the Ghost version; you review it before anything changes.
4. **Switch-over.** We point your domain to Ghost, activate the redirects and check every important URL.
5. **Follow-up.** We watch Google Search Console in the following weeks and fix anything that slips.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will my paying subscribers have to sign up again?

In most cases, no. Substack uses Stripe: once the same Stripe account is connected to Ghost, existing paid subscriptions carry on. We check your account during the call before promising anything.

### How much does Ghost take from my subscriptions?

Nothing. Ghost takes no commission on your revenue; you only pay Stripe's card processing fees.

### Do I lose the Substack network and recommendations?

You leave Substack's app and its recommendations. In exchange, Ghost has its own recommendations between publications and connects to the social web, and your posts become a website that Google can index.

### Can you also move my newsletter from Beehiiv, Mailchimp or ConvertKit?

Yes. Posts and subscribers can be exported from these tools and imported into Ghost. We tell you during the call what can move automatically and what we handle by hand.

### Will my emails land in spam after the move?

We set up your domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) before the first send and check deliverability on a test issue.

### Are you part of Ghost?

No. Ghost is the only platform we build on, but Abstract27 is an independent agency, not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by the Ghost Foundation.
