This is fabulous! Lots more to do, but so many opportunities here. Thanks for sharing Claire!

You're super welcome.

Yes, to your poll, which has closed since you first posted . . . Just found you now. I don’t think I’ve been a recipient of a drip campaign, not on Substack. So I’m curious what those letters look like. One always is afraid of being annoying, but I can imagine there’s an art to it!

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

I think the reframe is being of service, being helpful - speaking to your best fit reader... glad you're here Susie! I've programmed the drip campaign class for the New Year and will do some free lives on it too although I can't share my screen there so it will just be theory and advice.

omg omg omg omg! This is SOOOOOO exciting!!!

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

It’s really great isn’t it - I’m going to cancel my zap.

Rodney Daut's avatar

When do we get access to these new features?

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

Hey Rodney - it's not out to all bestsellers yet but if the trial goes well usually just a couple of months - you use the screen shot above to write your emails in google docs or something you'll be all set and ready to go.

Thanks, Claire.

Interesting new feature!

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

So lovely for nurturing.

Julia Rymut's avatar

This sounds great. I would love to know how to write simple, basic, email sequences for this. Thank you for asking.

Amanda Saint's avatar

Thanks Claire. I can’t find this! Is it in with the welcome emails? If so I don’t appear to have it.

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

They are just starting to roll it out love - I don’t actually know anyone else who has it yet but won’t be long I don’t think.

Amanda Saint's avatar

Ah I see! 💙

Megan Moran's avatar

This is SO awesome!! Go Substack! And thank you Claire for sharing the update! I would’ve totally missed this new feature 🤦🏼‍♀️ would love to work on emails as a group! You’re the best!

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

Wonderful - it seems a popular option so I'll organise that.

Carmen Luisa's avatar

This is great news! Thank you for sharing Claire! Have their said anything about general availability and how long the beta will go on? Can’t wait for this to go live! I’ve been playing with the idea of moving one part of my newsletter to beehive for better options because substack is really lacking in that area

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

No they haven't but usually it's not long - they just need to test it's all working.

This is awesome! But, it would only be effective if the upgrade to paid had a clear effective link and landing to make it seamless. My readers who are not Substackers are having a difficult time upgrading to paid with me sending them to myurl/subscribe. They land on my welcome page and don't know what to do from there.

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

If you use your url with /subscribe in a custom button that will help? I also teach building sales pages so you send people to a longer explainer of what they get and how it works...

Nneka Kelly's avatar

Hi Claire, I’m using myurl/subscribe. They land on the welcome page in some cases, not all. Very frustrating.

Jo Hutton's avatar

I have the same problem Nneka, the workaround I have used is to create a discount code and send them to that. But that doesn’t always work either 🤷‍♀️ the redirect back to your home page is so annoying.

Nneka Kelly's avatar

Thanks for the heads up Jo:-) I’ll stop banging my head against it now that I know I’m not imagining it and there isn’t something I’m missing.

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

That is frustrating - I'd really recommend an evergreen page - helps get round that - you can also do /account which takes folks straight to the manage their account place.

Nneka Kelly's avatar

I’ll try /account. I was hoping to avoid going off platform. If it’s still clunky I’ll go to old faithful - ConvertKit.

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

You can build pages here lovely. There's a video in my a-z but it's super easy to figure out.

Nneka Kelly's avatar

yes, but the link will still be messed up.

Liza Debevec's avatar

I can't seem to be able to vote in the poll, but I would love to learn how to do this.

Nikko Kennedy's avatar

Yes, this is so great, especially because I have a longer course in my Founding tier. I’m really hoping this will help them with accountability—several have asked me for it!

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

I'm going to start there too I think...

Gabrielle Treanor's avatar

I searched for 'drip' in my settings and nothing came up so I'm guessing it's not rolled out to everyone yet. Hoping I get it soon!

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

it doesn't come up in search! 🔦

Gabrielle Treanor's avatar

Where do you find it?

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

I just scrolled but Jo couldn't find it either so it might not just be you love... they tend to phase the roll out... you could get ahead with the info I've given you and write some in google docs for now?

Gabrielle Treanor's avatar

Thanks, Claire

Kate Harvey's avatar

Omg this is so exciting! I just signed up to Kit so I could do this, but maybe I don't need to 😃

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

You can cancel it unless you want for your jewellery business?

Kate Harvey's avatar

Yes perhaps I will, i'm doing a fair all weekend but will have a look on Monday. Have you started using it?

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

So I currently zap paid people into a nurture sequence on podia email but I’ll cut the cost and have that here.

Angela Limb's avatar

This looks great 😊 re nurturing email @claire Venus I was considering Podia for courses any thoughts 💭

Claire Venus ✨'s avatar

Do you have my class on podia love?

Angela Limb's avatar

Is it in the Sparlke A to z?

Angela Limb's avatar

Hi Claire just found the Podia class thanks 🙏 😊
