Substack launched in 2017 as a tool for newsletter writers to charge readers a monthly fee to read their content.

On Thursday , the San Francisco startup announced that creators can now post video content directly through the Substack app and monetize these videos.

Substack has raised about $100 million , most recently at a post-money valuation of more than $650 million .

That includes ticket sales, courses, livestreams and paid memberships, according to a survey conducted by Patreon , a Substack competitor. With her shift to Substack, Music said she's now focused on writing another book, posting recipes behind the platform's paywall and sprinkling in occasional videos. "I have a lot more to benefit from focused attention on a smaller group of people than I ever did on throwing stuff and seeing what was going to stick with billions of potential audience members," Music said. "It's more sustainable.".
