Thank you for the video, Kristina. I understand the new categories....the tabs are a bit confusing to me. One tab is Personal Finance and another is Investing but neither show up among the 29 categories. Ideally, I would like 1 of the 29 categories to be personal finance....

I recently set my categories and I decided on education and fiction because I teach my audience about audience building, writing, and publishing mixed in with my own author book updates.

Hi, Kristina (or anyone else), do you have any advice about the Health Politics category? I'm a physician trying to gain traction around Long COVID and the Health Politics space is hard to navigate. It's not Health. It's not Medicine. So far it seems mostly a place to explore conspiracy theories? I chose Science and Wellness as my two categories. I wonder if I should alter that? Should I change to Health Politics? Thanks for the great information!!

Looking forward to our chat!! I'm a bit 😷

But it won't get better since my baby girl will go to daycare for a few hours very soon and then it's getting worse 😆

Will send you a DM. And congratulations again on your success on Substack 🎊🎊

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

I don’t have accessibility to a computer so I have to use my IPad. I hope I can figure it out or get more help

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
