In this tutorial, Indie, publisher of over 2500 posts on Substack over the past 4 years, shows you how to convert a completed Substack livestream, which defaults back to an unpublished draft, into a polished, search-optimized published post!

Indie walks you through editing the video (adding thumbnails, descriptions, and timestamps), enhancing SEO with tags/episode metadata, and utilizing Substack’s AI clip generator for highlights.

Discover tips for cross-platform content reuse, fixing URL discrepancies post-livestream, and boosting discoverability. Perfect for creators leveraging Substack’s ad-free, long-form video capabilities (even 5-hour streams!). Support indie media and share feedback via Twitter https://x.com/indiemediatoday or Substack.

🔧 Tools shown: Substack RTMP beta, transcript-based clipping.

💡 Pro tip: Always update show notes and co-tag guests to amplify reach!
