No Rush: Planning a Launch for 2026

“Claire is the QUEEN of Substack”

Selina Barker

☃️ Oooo while I’m here there are a few spots left to advertise with me in my two holiday editions of this newsletter this festive season (in December). If you have a product, a book or would like to advertise your newsletter, grab one for just £30. 🎄

Hi Sparklers,

I popped on a quick live from Lidl carpark before grocery shopping this morning as I was procrastinating on the ‘big shop’.

I wanted to talk more about monetising your newsletter.

Running a paid newsletter model AND running a membership model here on Substack are TWO very different things.

I’m hosting a live class at 11am tomorrow (replay available) which is a DEEP dive into the paid newsletter model (without the bells and whistles of a paid membership model).

There’s a BIG difference. I’ve often seen the road to burnout paved with many a Frankenstein model of both of these things. ⚡️🧌

I’ve been building here on Substack for over three years. I didn’t have a ‘big’ audience anywhere else but Substack have supported me to build one here, completely transform my business and get clearer about my offer across the internet air waves.

It’s a TRUE joy to do this work.

Don’t miss my LIVE class tomorrow.

My LAST beginners class of the year.

If you’d like to come along to Monetise your Newsletter and Build Recurring Revenue tomorrow, the link is here. There is 50% off the cost of this class for my members as an act of service too. (link shared in chat).

I also have another class if you think you’d like to build more of a membership model here which has been one of my most popular classes this year.

I do both here (run a paid newsletter and run a membership and I LOVE both for different reasons). I’ve built my paid newsletter to 120 paying readers and my membership to over 450 members in my time here.

I’m so proud of that and it’s been so beautiful to be part of SO many journeys. Seeing you burst your work to life is my own heart work - I feel so honoured that you spend time with me, read my words, come to my classes and share how it all makes you feel on Notes. Thank you! 💖

Hopefully see you tomorrow at class! Any questions, I’m all ears!!

Claire
