Have you arrived yet? I hope so.
Here I am with some of my members and friends in London in winter 2025 after a brunch at The Ivy.
Real relationships with beautiful people writing incredible things together. ✨
More is not better, more is just more....
Let's get discerning about what you need to get to bestseller and how it fits your wider ambition.
Hi, I'm Claire. I'm an Engagement Consultant and Mentor and I started my journey with Substack in 2022. I've built my audience to 15k readers across two publications, work with over 500 members and I'm so excited to share more with you. Come join us.
A 5-Day Challenge to Build a Profitable & Sustainable Substack
It’s time to stop second-guessing and start earning with clarity, confidence, and ease.
Imagine waking up to recurring income from your writing—without the burnout, without the doubt.
Whether you have 200 free subscribers or 20,000, this challenge will help you:
✅ Set just-right pricing that attracts happy paying subscribers who want to stay.
✅ Give value without burnout (no endless content hamster wheel!) or second guessing what 'more' looks like.
✅ Use offers, free trials & discounts strategically over the course of a year
✅ Handle price increases with ease & confidence
✅ Plan your Substack as a sustainable long term income stream
This is for YOU if you want to build a thriving, financially rewarding Substack that grows steadily—without relying on virality.
HOW IT WORKS
Each day, you’ll receive:
1. A short, powerful training video (straight to the point! - 10-20 mins). There will be teaching and mindset work.
2. A journal prompt to help you implement with clarity
3. A PDF workbook to help you work through the lessons.
✨
By the end of these 5 days, you’ll have:
✔ A pricing & offer strategy that feels good AND works
✔ A plan for sustainable, long-term growth
✔ A clear way to communicate your value to your audience
✔ The confidence to charge and earn more without stress over the course of a year.
💫 READY TO GROW YOUR PAID SUBS AND CREATE A SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY FOR LONG TERM GROWTH SO THAT SUBSTACK IS ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES IN YOUR ONLINE OFFER SUITE?
Let’s make your Substack a joyful, profitable place to create!
I'm ready are you?
Let's go!!
You have 101 paying subscribers...
A regular reliable income from Substack
Lovely people that believe in you and your work and want to spend more money with you (buy your books, book your coaching, buy you a coffee!!)
Social proof in that checkmark that attracts more people to want to partner and work with you.
You can also shoot for more than 101 or even the next check mark at 1001 paid subs but I say take that journey with caution as the more people the more admin and you need super stable systems and operating proceedures for that.

Lovely feedback from my last challenge....
Claire is really about JOYfully growing your Substack, explaining the ins and outs of Substack with patience and love and always has some uplifting words for you. A true Sparkler 💛
Since working with Claire, my Substack has been transformed. The best thing about working with Claire is that she gives you insights and inspiration in a way that makes it all feel heart-centred and holistic. There’s no hustle culture in it and that is so important to me and how I show up in my Substack, my business and my life.
Claire gives you confidence to develop at your own pace. She's the go-to person on Substack. Without Claire I don't think I'd have found the community I never knew I needed.
Claire is so generous and encouraging in what she shares. I feel inspired to create and share my podcast in 2025, which has been an idea I've had for a few years. Highly recommend anything that Claire does, as she shares in a gentle and heart-felt way.
Before this challenge, I was of the mindset that because I want to be strategic with my newsletter (especially given that it's part of my writing=coaching-business ecosystem), I had to take this work Very Seriously. In just seven days, Claire Venus has helped me see that intentionality can still be light.
When I first arrived on Substack, I had no idea what it was about. Claire taught me how to set it up and use it, and is one of my major motivators in continuing to use it.
Thank you so much for your challenge. It helped me to implement new ways to improve my experience on Substack with your friendly and supportive manner.
That and SO much more.
I'll show you how to make consistent sales on Substack and encourage your biggest fans to invest in your work AND tell their friends.
"On the very first day, I recouped the entire cost of the course simply by implementing the changes Claire recommended in the first lesson and sending 1 email to my list."
"I love Claire's open hearted, enthusiastic and generous sharing and support around Substack. It has extended my goals, I've managed to get Bestseller status (101 paid subs) within months of working with her, all whilst working intuitively, from the heart, with flexibility and always keeping my writing at the heart."

"I've been overjoyed to be a Diamond Member at Sparkle on Substack, but I also snatched up Claire's book and attended the World-Class Substack workshop she ran with co-author Russell Nohelty.
Following one tip they shared led to me more than doubling paid subscribers (and my annual income from Substack) in three days!
Now let's see what happens when I read through my notes and try any of the other dozen ideas I had on just that one call. You owe it to yourself to learn from Claire if you want to build a sustainable Substack that brings you (and your readers) joy."

You'll have access to the challenge for 3 months on Substack and as an evergreen product for a year.
People who have been writing on Substack and set the foundations up for a good few months. Those who are curious about how it all works behind the scenes, those who want to build joyfully and sustainably.
There are a tonne of factors to take into consideration here. It took me over a year and I wasn't in a rush. The foundations are just as important as there are systems to set up to manage over 101 paid subs. I've also supported clients to get there in a few weeks - I'll share all the methods.
Yes, just email me claire@creativelyconscious.co.uk and I'll sort it for you. I ask that you pay it forward when the opportunity arises - you'll know what that looks like when it happens. ✨
