My thoughts on a completely new way to show up and share your creative voice online.
Recorded in 2023 after spending a year on the platform.
Stay Creative with Substack
This four week (drip-fed) course gives you the tools to start, plan and deliver on Substack.
The exercises combine my signature playfully creative style with a sprinkle of soul searching about why we really want to show up online in this way.
Is it a blog, a newsletter, do we bring in audio and video elements? It's all POSSIBLE and the tech supports us but what do we WANT to do?
Hi, I'm Claire - a Creative Producer, mentor and engagement manager. I started my Substack publication in April 2022 and quickly fell in love with the platform. I built this course to help you build Substack into your creative eco-system and get you soul searching about how you want to show up there.
This course follows on from my masterclass...
'Get Creative with Substack' Masterclass.
You can purchase here. It's available free to my paid members over at Sparkle on Substack.
Stay Creative with Substack - the course
No you can have a pause or take longer to complete the course but the magic is in not spinning into 'overthinking' or perfectionism so I would recommend trying to complete it in four weeks. The tutorials are drip fed each week for four weeks.
No not unless you are in my membership.
Yes there's a link to do that with an additional cost in the course or on my website.
I absolutely adore writing on Substack - you can view my publication and how I have it set up here.
There is a little bit of choice on visuals and design but I think you'll find it very easy to use and set up yours.
"Claire is, of course, the go-to expert on everything Substack. I rely on her to cut through the jargon and the noise to make sense of the latest features of the platform and love her person-centred approach to building sustainable and joyful publications and the communities around them.
✨
On my journey to Substack Bestseller (101 paid subs), I gained such a lot from Claire during her Sparkle calls and – lucky for me – an in person session.
✨
She empowered me to get clear on my goals and helped me through her extensive, decades-long experience working in engagement to think about how I could really get to know and best serve my growing community.
✨
Her wisdom enabled me to feel confident in offering value across various tiers of my membership and I couldn't have achieved the level of success I have thus far without her support.
If you get the chance to work with Claire, grab it!"

"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."
