Hi, Claire. I've been writing on SS for a couple of months now, but I'm buggered if I can work out how to find anybody's blog here. Like here is my link https://creativexcellence.substack.com/ So, where is yours. I searched for your subject - Lucy Werner but can't find anything. How do readers find anything? Can you help? James
I think that is because my blog is called Hype Yourself and if you search Lucy Werner I should come up as a person. Weirldy, I have an alert in my email from another comment from you that I can't see here. Anybody who subscribes has the ability to comment and have dialogue with me. If you select to receive my posts via email you will also be able to email reply. You can also use the chat function on Substack to send me a personalised DM. So I'm unsure it's correct when you say "but I see you don't invite direct communication, as there is no contact link"
Hi, Lucy. It seems from what you are saying that it is only possible to communcate with anyone if you subscribe to receive their posts, or via Chat. I understand that. But I wanted to see your blog. And as I can't see a link to HYPE via Chat, and had you not given me the URL, I wouldn't have found it. This is worrying because it must apply to my blog as well. If I am incorrect about a contact link on HYPE and there is a way to contact you, where's the link? I always make a point of ensuring people can contact me by email, as you can see from CONTACT in the menu on my SS Blog - https://creativexcellence.substack.com/ I hope that clarifies a bit more. James
Hi Jamie, I don’t understand sorry, if you click on my name my publication is attached to me? It is as Claire says, searchable in the main Substack explore button either under my name or Hype Yourself. You don’t need to include a link because you can just click through.
I see. Now I've got it. You have to go to EXPLORE to find blogs. I was buggering around in CHAT. I hope everyone is not as daft as I am. Do you understand what I mean about a CONTACT link now? Cheers, James
Thanks for the reply, Claire. But how doe that solve the problem. If I search for Claire Venus I don't get a link to your Blog!! So, I still don't know how to find it.

Ladies... wow, this was one of the best workshops I've watched! I have your book from the kickstarter, Claire! And Lucy, I've just ordered yours from Amazon today!

Well, the dynamic between you two was fun first of all! I think there were just so many tips… I took note of some points you both made. One thing Lucy said was how she is always promoting, even if subtly… oh and how she carries her book everywhere and sneaks it into spots to leave it. I feel like the info shared was outside the box.

Great interview, Claire! I especially liked what Lucy said about finding mentors that are aligned with your goals and what you want to accomplish and create :)
Yes totally - there's often a very clear and unexplained connect for me where it just feels right. Grateful for my mentors and coaches and them continuing to do the work to hold me.

For example, when I click on your name the publication linked is Creative Xcellence?

You want to be on your “explore” page. I’ve linked Lucy’s here too.

Aww thanks Melissa! ✨ what was your main take away from the conversation?

You are so gorgeous. Thanks you. Yes little steps every day, like a habit to track.
Inspiring!
Yes I loved that too - I wondered if my Substack book was too niche to leave somewhere…
ohhhh that is a good point... but ya never know!
Wahoo! Thank you 🙏🏼
Great interview, Claire! I especially liked what Lucy said about finding mentors that are aligned with your goals and what you want to accomplish and create :)
Awww! Thank you for saying that. I learnt this one the hard way!
omg same.

You two! xo

Wouldn’t be here without you ❤️
