Hey David, thank you so much for this! I am new to Ghost and came back to this video several times for reference. Could you do a video going through your workflow using the Ghost interface? Maybe showing a bit more in depth how you would use it on a daily basis? Right now I am struggling to figure out how to use the Ghost newsletter feature, and how to create a post VS sending out emails. Keep up the great work and thanks again for your help
When you create a post you can choose to send it out to your list or not. I would use the unique selling point of Ghost and write content that's free but has a section only viewable to your list and other posts keep 100% private.
If you've not already done so, sign up to Ghost here: davidutke.com/ghost I use this platform as a Patreon alternative. Subscription revenue, one low fee, public content that can get traffic, private content. You can find my membership site in the description.
Hi, I'm so glad that I was crossing your channel randomly and watched this video, I love how you put all this detail and effort! Make me want to do use Ghost! Just one question: is it possible make 2 or 3 multi-language page? (ex. English / Chinese / French version) Thank you anyway! Really a good info!
This was brilliant ! I really appreciate how nicely you have made the video. Imho perfect voiceover for presentation. Wishing you much luck for all future projects ! 😊
Oh - this was a fabulously thorough how-to video on the GhostPro platform. Thank you David for making this a painless intro journey. Very thorough, but without superfluous gumph!
PLEASE do a video on how to delete comments, it's driving me insane. I can't work out how something so simply and useful is being made so so difficult. Thanks.
Hey David, is Ghost suitable for using with an autoresponder and email list? Like Blogger does? I can link Blogger with aweber, and install an autoresponder, does Ghost do that?
I was quite confused and intimidated by Ghost's back-end style UI in the beginning and the 14-day trial limit doesn't help at all. Thank you so much for this comprehensive overview. I now have a much better idea of what I want out of my website and how to go about making that happen.
I can write my own html it looks like 6:14 code injection i can. I have a complete code written i just want the subscription and membership to access my page run by them so i dont have to worry about
Hi. Thanks for the video. How does this differ from, let's say, self-hosting your own Wordpress website, if you have already access to Elementor Pro and a bunch of plugins?
I'll write up a blog post on this but for now you can checkout this video: ruclips.net/video/78KF1sUarkY/видео.htmlsi=NARN3TdQsp4ET0HA and this video: ruclips.net/video/kIhDc-Qpm5Y/видео.html&pp=ygUSZ2hvc3QgdnMgd29yZHByZXNz In short Ghost is easy to use, email marketing and paid subscriptions built in. Nice looking themes. But nowhere near the flexibility of WordPress.
David, thank you for this. I have a question, when you uploaded your Publication Cover, what were the specs or pixel size in width and height? Also I guess you had to make it transparent too.
Absolutely brilliant! The way you've explained things makes it so approachable. Kudos to you for creating content that has the potential to make a real difference in people's understanding. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟
david, i am still confused so can you send multiple newsletter at a time ? Dumb question maybe, but I understand pages, but what is the max amount for posts, is there a cap?
hey anybody struggling on how to make a contact form ? like i don't necessarily need 'members' but i want people to be able to contact me and sort vice versa. if you have any tips please let me know :)
This video helped me greatly. I do have an issue that maybe you can answer. I created a few pages such as About, Privacy etc. when I link the page under the design tab, I copy the URL's and save but the live version asks for you to login instead of showing the page details. Something is not linking correctly. Any ideas? I've tried tons of things and can't seem to fix the issue. Thanks.
I m really interested in ghost commerce but i dont really understand it and how you can make profits with it, pls someone help me i d want to understand it easier
Awesome video, David! Appreciate it I'm having trouble with the publication icon. I even tried going through the Canva/remove.bg process but I keep getting the following message on Ghost: "Icon must be a square .ico or .png file between 60px - 1,000px, under 100kb." I even played around to fit those parametrs/file type but just won't upload !
For some reason I keep getting an error message saying I can only manually download this theme because direct install are only available on Ghot 4.0 - I dont host Ghost on my computer so I'm not sure how to upgrade to 4.0? Should I just download and install this theme manually?
Hi David, thanks for the video! I followed this exactly for my customer domain name from namecheap; and it keeps saying that my domain name is invalid, do you have an idea why? so frustrating!!! I am wondering if I need to wait a few hours since I just purchased it?
Hello Sir! I have one doubt. Currently I am using content api to show ghost content on my website.but as I fetched posts,I got its html but not css. So content looking weird.How to fetch css related information using content api?Any idea??
I can't understand. You are using Starter option and u can use Custom integration. From August to November the subcriptions price and benefits are changed?
There is no ideal integration for that, I would use something like Calendy for this use case. Ghost is more focused on blogging, email and building out a subscriber base.
This was super helpful, thank you so much! How do I make a custom thankyou page though after people subscribe? If i make it in the "pages" section then it gets displayed on the website. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!
this was SO helpful! I published my 100th piece on Medium yesterday and it's gone EXTREMELY well for me, monetarily, so I'm looking to actually make this a 'thing'. I also published a guided journal on Amazon and am working on a collection of memoir essays. I was looking at Substack vs. Ghost and some negative press about Substack made me hesitate. I finally decided to go with Ghost and this is the PERFECT start-up tutorial to get me off and rolling (the added little commentary on SEO stuff was gold!). THANK YOU!
I am a beginner with Ghost .. your speed and running through all this was so overwhelming.. I am now looking for other RUclipsrs hopefully to get an explanation for beginners I can understand a bit more clearer
Great tutorial, thank you a lot! I saw the Google AdSense on the integration screen, would you know if I can have Google ads on my website using the starter $9/month plan? Thank you :)
They don't have to sign up to read the content. You mean remove the subscribe button? But that's the whole point of Ghost, to build an email subscriber base.
Yea I was finally able to fix that by flying home out of Vietnam and buying a proper Shure microphone in the States. My Zoom did a pretty decent job but it's way to sensitive :)
@@DavidUtke thx, I did figure that out but what I mean is. Problem here, if someone clicks on the Backlink the new page opens and my own page gets closed. But I just want to forward to another page, new tab. How do I do that?
Great video. I know I'm late but when I add pages using the editor link like you suggested at 27:05 it doesn't work properly for me, when I go to test the site in an incognito browser it just prompts me to sign into my site then it brings me to the actual editor for that page. This is incredibly frustrating and I'd massively appreciate a reply.
HI david, thanks for the video. I greatly appreciate your help. The information was very useful for me before I started my website. I also looked for details about Instagram business accounts and posts on Instagram.Thanks
@@DavidUtke After watching your Ghost tutorial I am beyond embarrassed that I have a video about Ghost - I am finally getting my new template up and running tho!
the best tutorial about setting up ghost on youtube. thank you so much.
Thanks, I appreciate that.

i want to know too

PLEASE do a video on how to delete comments, it's driving me insane. I can't work out how something so simply and useful is being made so so difficult. Thanks.
I've not found a solution, I personally only allow comments from paying subscribers on my Ghost site.
Great work ! Just wanted to ask how do you edit the content written in navigation ?
Hey David, is Ghost suitable for using with an autoresponder and email list? Like Blogger does? I can link Blogger with aweber, and install an autoresponder, does Ghost do that?

Good, I really like Ghost. I moved my personal site over from there from Blogger to see how the platform works long term.
Leaving a comment to help with your content! Great stuff!!!
I can write my own html it looks like 6:14 code injection i can. I have a complete code written i just want the subscription and membership to access my page run by them so i dont have to worry about
Can you add videos?
Does anyone know if I can buy a paid template and customize it while in 14 day free trial of Ghost?
This video is going to save me soo much time. Thank you !
Glad it helped!
How can I add authors in ghost without sending email invitation? can I config db to add the authors
nice voice

Hi David,
Could you please do a video about how to customize ghost product cards? If you know, please teach us.
Thanks
Product cards are simple, what are you struggling with?
David, thank you for this. I have a question, when you uploaded your Publication Cover, what were the specs or pixel size in width and height? Also I guess you had to make it transparent too.
I don't recall actually. I would just do a trial and error approach with your image of choice to get it to your liking.
How to remove the sign in and subscribe buttons?
Absolutely brilliant!
The way you've explained things makes it so approachable.
Kudos to you for creating content that has the potential to make a real difference in people's understanding. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟
Thank you very much!
Hey, how can i delete my ghost account?
david, i am still confused so can you send multiple newsletter at a time ? Dumb question maybe, but I understand pages, but what is the max amount for posts, is there a cap?
There is no cap.
When you finish a blog post you can:
Publish it on your site only.
Publish and email.
Email only.
hey anybody struggling on how to make a contact form ? like i don't necessarily need 'members' but i want people to be able to contact me and sort vice versa. if you have any tips please let me know :)
How can I find a person who can create a blog for me on ghost
Awesome video! I wonder if any free template has a drop down menu navigation feature. Do you know? Or know of any paid ones?
I personally never use drop downs on any of my websites so it's never something I look for. No to your question though.
coding can be with chatgpt ? or its up to me ?
This video helped me greatly. I do have an issue that maybe you can answer.

I m really interested in ghost commerce but i dont really understand it and how you can make profits with it, pls someone help me i d want to understand it easier
It's not for ecommerce. It's for blogging, email marketing, subscription revenue and affiliate marketing.

Nevermind! I got it....Just needed to make it a square (as you described). haha
Great tutorial thank you sir!
Very nice ghost overview with plenty of extra info to help augment the website. Good job!
super 👍 Thank You!!
Hello, I do I make a multi language website with Ghost?
It's possible but I've never done it. It involves configuring custom collections and templates using Dynamic Routing.
Thank you so much! Complete beginner here >.
You got this!
how to resize images in ghost
Hi David
Can I use this with blogger
Why would you want to do that? Ghost is superior in blogging to blogger.
Hi David, so, PAGES is not a page (contains many posts), right? If so, what a weird term to use in website management!
For some reason I keep getting an error message saying I can only manually download this theme because direct install are only available on Ghot 4.0 -
I dont host Ghost on my computer so I'm not sure how to upgrade to 4.0? Should I just download and install this theme manually?

Great to hear!
Is $5 the minimum or can i set it lower?
How can I create a page on this website where public can book and purchase my coaching sessions?
Like how can they checkout ?
There is no ideal integration for that, I would use something like Calendy for this use case. Ghost is more focused on blogging, email and building out a subscriber base.

I hope you do make a video for non pro users. Mainly how to configure the subscribe form and how Ghost handles email.
HI, great video! would you happen to know how to write a post and have it appear on a certain page and not just on the home page?? - thanks in advance
Great video! Do you know if godaddy supports root domains, mine doesn’t seem to be working?
Best explanation I have ever seen 👍
Thanks! I really like the Ghost platform. Not sure why it does not get more attention.
what a banger of a tutorial!
1 small question
Is $5 the minimum or can i set it lower?
canva can remove the background
Yes it can with an upgraded plan.
Super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hey David, thank you very much! This was the most helpful video I saw regarding Ghost! So easy to follow and understand :)

Great info ! Just wanted to ask can you add inbuilt themes to specific pages ?
Awesome Video it is really a one-shop-stop tyvm!
Great tutorial, thank you a lot! I saw the Google AdSense on the integration screen, would you know if I can have Google ads on my website using the starter $9/month plan? Thank you :)
Sure. Ghost is more aimed at building subscription revenue but it's open source like WordPress and you can whatever you want :)
Thank you so much for your video!! Really helpful 💗
Hi David, great video. Just wondering if there is a way on Ghost so visitors to your site don't have to sign up. Any help would be great thanks
They don't have to sign up to read the content. You mean remove the subscribe button? But that's the whole point of Ghost, to build an email subscriber base.
excellent video, thanks a lot, David. my fav part is you breathing all over the mic haha
Yea I was finally able to fix that by flying home out of Vietnam and buying a proper Shure microphone in the States. My Zoom did a pretty decent job but it's way to sensitive :)
This was so precise, 20 min, great video sir.
dude, Massively is gone on ghost :(
Thanks so much David, I just got my website up with your help and guidance. Keep being awesome
Nice, I use and love Ghost for my subscription/newsletter site.
Thank you so much for this. You covered pretty much everything, which made it so straightforward when I started my account. Cheers!
Great to hear! I love Ghost, I use it for my personal site.
Does ghost have an option to setup lead magnet / opt in page for a free download kind of stuff
Yes actually. I think I'll make a tutorial vid on this now that you bring it up
Sloooooowwwww dooooowwwwwnnnn
Thanks for the feedback.
Hey anyone know how can I translate my whole theme into Thai language? I have been trying a lot, but no success
With Ghost? I'm not sure, did you send the team a support message?
seriously how do you add a post to a page???
how do I connect Backlinks with a word in my contect?
example: you can visit ... --> visit as Backlink
how do I do this?
In Ghost you simply highlight the text and there is an internal link button to use.
@@DavidUtke thx, I did figure that out but what I mean is. Problem here, if someone clicks on the Backlink the new page opens and my own page gets closed. But I just want to forward to another page, new tab. How do I do that?
