Bringing the Next Wave of Writers (And Readers) Onchain
Introducing Auto-Crosspost: A simple way to publish onchain
Moving your entire newsletter — posts, audience, settings, and all — to a new platform is a big ask. We want to make it easy to experience the value of publishing on Paragraph without deciding to move platforms and go through an import flow.
That’s why we’re launching Auto-Crosspost, a new feature that lets you automatically publish your existing newsletter to Paragraph — no extra work, no switching platforms, no moving subscribers.
It’s a simple way to reach a new audience, get more visibility for your writing, spark more discussion around your ideas, and open up new ways for readers to support you.
One post, multiple surfaces
All you need to do is create a Paragraph account and drop in your publication’s RSS feed, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Once you connect your RSS feed, every new post you publish will automatically:
Appear on your Paragraph publication
Be sent via email and wallet to any Paragraph subscribers
Be eligible for minting and other new monetization features
Reach new readers across Paragraph’s discovery surfaces
You can always edit, hide, or delete any crossposted post, and it's easy to turn off the connection at any time. This feature works with any publishing platform that supports RSS feeds, including Ghost, Medium, Substack, WordPress, Beehiiv, and more.
Future improvements
At launch, you’ll need to manually share crossposted posts to Farcaster to tap into its full benefits. Once shared, your posts will load instantly in the Paragraph mini app and be easy to read, discuss, subscribe to, and collect, all without leaving the social feed.
Soon, writers will be able to sign in with Farcaster and grant write permissions, allowing their crossposted posts to automatically publish to the Farcaster social feed. This is a key ingredient in getting more visibility, reader sharing, discussion, and earnings for your work.
In the coming weeks, we’ll also start sending a stats email after each crossposted post, highlighting the extra views, readers, and revenue you earned by publishing onchain.
Get started in a couple easy steps
We want to help writers get more out of their work without any extra effort. Auto-Crosspost is a first step toward making it easy to publish on Paragraph and tap into all the benefits that come with it.
Here's how to get started:
Head to paragraph.com and create an account.
In the publication settings, scroll to the Auto-Crosspost section.
Paste your publication's RSS feed and click connect.
Your next post (and every post after) will automatically publish to Paragraph, helping you grow your audience and earnings with zero extra lift.
Have questions or feedback? We’d love to hear from you — just drop us a note at hello@paragraph.com.
Excited to introduce a new way to grow your audience and get more from your writing. Automatically crosspost from Medium, Substack, Ghost, and more to Paragraph — reach new readers, spark deeper discussion, and unlock new ways for people to support your work. https://paragraph.com/@blog/bringing-the-next-wave-of-writers-onchain

Awesome feature
Vampire attac good
great move So if I crosspost from substack, it automatically creates a mirrored paragraph account for that content? Just curious how it works exactly
You would need to create a Paragraph account if you don't already have one & connect your Substack (or any RSS feed) to Paragraph, then you're good to go — any new post on Substack is automatically published to Paragraph w/ no extra action needed.
This is how I understood it
This is a very good one
awesome! Love this idea If someone has subscribed to substack and paragraph, does that mean that two emails would be sent out?
Yes, if someone subscribes to both, they'll get the email twice, but we think that'll be a very rare edge case. If it becomes an issue, I think it's solvable.
Got it! Just trying to gauge my next steps, since I had previously imported all of my substack email list to paragraph, so I have about 300 email overlap, but subsequently got 200 emails ish on paragraph alone Just wondering if there’s an easy way for me to continue using paragraph for emails and just not send out the substack portion as an email (keeping it as a post) 🤔 Might just have to do an excel comparison
Solid update, Colin 😎 As I lean into newsletters more this is definitely a feature I'll be utilizing. Also appreciate the commitment to make this process more fluent.
Cool!
Wait this is super dope, but does it work in reverse? From para to mirror? 500 $DEGEN 💎✊
do you have a step-by-step for ghost?
We support any RSS feeds from any of the major publishing platforms, so the instructions in the blogpost would also apply to Ghost. TLDR: - make Paragraph account - go to import/export settings - drop in RSS feed URL to connect to Paragraph - that's all
