REPLAYS - Get crystal clear on your strategy for converting free subs to paid subs here on Substack.

x 3 'Going and Staying Paid on Substack' Workshops

Hi all,

Welcome to October. 🎃 🍂 🍁 We have three months left of 2024 - what a beautiful thing!

I’m delighted to have wrapped up a series of THREE 75 minute long workshops with member Q&As on the topic of ‘going and staying paid’ here on Substack this past month.

You can catch the replays below by joining the membership at £11 a month or £95 for the year. This is the LAST MONTH it will be at this price point so grab your spot if you want our support.

Even though I’ve set out my stall as a Substack Educator I am doing this work with you, I am testing the system all the time and reporting back to you with multiple publications. I know Substack inside out, I’ve been here since April 2022 and I now have a mentoring role for Substack. I see what people pay for and when they take the plunge, I talk with the staff. I’m here to help.

“Wow Claire, I’ve learnt so much in this first session, can’t wait for the next. I love having the Sparkle gang as accountability to get the work done!” E

In the 75 minute ‘Going and Staying Paid’ workshops, we cover

Call One - Conversion Content - the little known way to get people to convert to paid.

• Conversion Posts

Call Three - We can’t undercharge, we’re building the eco-system for ourselves and each other.

• Understanding value, pricing, stripe dashboard, take home pay

• Founding membership tier and ideas for how best to use it.

Here are the posts and replays if you want to catch up.

On strategic use of paywalls - "If everybody who they're sending to is somebody in the professional realm and potentially they can expense it on with some Substacks, their affordability is going to be a lot higher than somebody who is writing more personal essays and they're writing about personal experience, and we all know this. They're talking about their divorce and then they put behind the paywall the part that is really intimate and personal."
