…The answer is yes, Cathleen! Always yes.
It’s fantastic to see so many of you enthusiastic about using this. To help you use it even better, I’d like to answer a couple of questions we’ve seen pop up, then move on to ideas for making the most of the feature.
How exactly does the subscribe button work when I share an individual newsletter issue?
When you share a link to a Revue profile, a subscribe button will appear in the link preview immediately.
When you share a link to a Revue issue, the subscribe button doesn’t show immediately. It will appear for the reader once they’ve clicked through to read the issue online, then returned to their timeline.
This will also be the case for you as a newsletter writer — if you see your own Tweet on your timeline, you’ll need to click on the preview to open the issue before the subscribe button appears.
What if I run a paid newsletter on Revue as well as (or instead of) a free one?
When people subscribe from Tweets, they’ll be added as free subscribers to your list. They won’t receive your members-only issues. There currently isn’t a way to become a paying subscriber directly from Twitter, but we’re looking into how this could work in the future.
When will I see this on iOS and Android?
Lots of people use the Twitter app rather than navigating to the website on a laptop or desktop computer. We’re working hard to bring that feature to the iOS and Android apps soon.
