What's on in September

Here at Sparkle on Substack ✨

Well everyone, it’s almost time to sharpen our pencils, dig out our scarves and cosy in for the last chapter of 2024 and I couldn’t be MORE excited. Tell me what you’re looking forward to about September?

This is just a little reminder of what I have planned for you all. More detail to follow.

😔 Oh, the writing room has been closed down so I’m seeking out alternatives for that. More soon but it will be a similar 24/7 vibe with a focussed slot each Friday.

This week I’m guesting over at London Writer’s Salon - you can come along if you’d like. Here’s the link for that.

September

For paid members of Sparkle on Substack.

Our intention - building a sustainable income stream through your Substack publication

• 1st September - Diamond Member tier temporarily closes to new members. If you want to join and get access to my support and mentoring in the Substack dms for a WHOLE year you have to join us by 1st Sept. I don’t plan on offering this perk again.

• Mon 16th Sept 9:30am - The Sparkle Call - Going and staying paid - Conversion Posts and emails - the missing piece of your content plan.

• BONUS - 27 September; 5pm - Christin Thieme is popping in to guest with us and we have shaped up a Content Planning Party for you! I’m so excited. 🎈

• Mon 30th Sept 2pm - The Sparkle Call - Productivity and Content Plans with a focus on paid conversion.

Also in September…

• 12th September Aimée Francis is popping in to teach us copywriting. I ADORED her about page workshop and I know lots of you used it. This time it’s micro copy. Capturing attention in our profile bio and publication explainer. More here. It’s £5 to grab your spot. And here’s the replay of the about page workshop if you want to watch it. NB - this is a guest workshop over on my other publicationCreatively Conscious by Claire Venus not here on Sparkle. I know folks get confused but it makes sense to me. Creatively Conscious holds space for the holistic, the zoom out, the whole hearted business stuff. Sparkle on Substack is joyful, sustainable growth on Susbtack.

• I’m guesting over at Lucy Werner’s Hype Yourself members community.

• Hopefully posting your books out too. ✨ 📖✨ - you have until 31st Aug to purchase your copy - an ebook is just $8 and I believe this is the BEST value Substack education in the world - I cannot tell you how jam packed the book is and everything is superbly curated and organised. 🍯 ✨

Coming up in October;

• 17th October - Secrets of Substack Bestseller’s Masterclass with Russell Nohelty (replay free to 💎 Diamond Members)

✔️ Secrets of Substack Bestsellers

• 19th October - The Reframe - https://www.creativelyconscious.co.uk/the-reframe-creating-a-hologram-of-yourself-to-meet-your-work-online (£10 tickets - replay free to members)

AND…

On 1st October, my NEW 6 week mastermind programme kicks off ‘The Business of your Substack’ - I honestly cannot wait to see who wants to be part of this programme.

I’m super excited about holding space for you and your beautiful businesses. My last course - Your Beautiful Substack Magazine sold out on early bird and we had the best time. I’m running it again in February.

Here’s some MORE about the programme which takes a holistic look at how you are running your business and where on earth your Substack publication fits - my waitlist is open.
