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.
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.
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.
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.

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
can i have multiple blogs from ghost go into the same paragraph account?
Not quite yet... but having multiple publications in one account has been a hugely requested feature & we hope to have support for it soon.
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.
Wait this is super dope, but does it work in reverse? From para to mirror? 500 $DEGEN 💎✊
I wish... they seem more focused on @paragraph than /mirror at the moment, let's hope they don't forget about it 😢💜
@gmo
this is cool
does it work the other way round? paragraph to medium/substack etc
I wish! But sadly not at the moment, it's hard for us to control the flow in that direction.
Love this @colin and @reidtandy ! If I add my substack RSS to an existing paragraph account, I assume in addition to automatically publishing any new substacks to my paragraph publication, I can also go in and manually add paragraph-only posts in the same publication?
Yes!
nice! Paragraph just became my catch all. Had been publishing stand alone pieces on paragraph, and regular newsletter/journals on substack. Will continue to use paragraph for stand alone blogs, but now it will also have my newsletter content. New Description for my paragraph publication: A collection of essays and reflections spanning crypto, tech, entrepreneurship, parenting, wellness, spirituality, and travel—now featuring all posts from my substack newsletter, Some of the Things.
The future improvements paragraph is a little confusing "At launch, you’ll need to manually share crossposted posts to Farcaster to tap into its full benefits" Dont know what this means exactly. As long as my substack posts start getting auto published to paragraph, sounds like a great step towards eventual migration.
We want to eventually support a Paragraph to Farcaster auto publish flow. Eg, you could imagine you sign-in-with-Farcaster on Paragraph, and we can auto-cast (from your account) every time you publish. So, if you're auto-crossposting from Substack, it'd go from Substack -> Paragraph -> Farcaster, all automatically. This is in the future, though, and not 100% related to the Substack -> Paragraph crossposting flow!
gotcha! not a priority for me, btw, but sounds nice to have when its ready
