do you have a choice where you embed images and videos? I'm really new. Haven't created my substack yet.
Yes you can embed them any where in the post or make a video post where video appears at the top.
Thank you so much for having me!
Aw loved chatting with you Lucy! Felt like a real moment for us to be able to lift the veil on some of our bts substack convos.
Hi Clarie! Thanks for the video. I want to use seperate emaila for the different newsletters. Can I edit the sender email when creating a new publication? Or do I need to create a different substack account for the newletters to be sent from different emails? Thank you.
Hmm I'm not quite sure what you mean - can you unpack a little for me?
How can you change your primary publication? I read this option is in account settings, but I can't find it.
@@Jednostronicowce you want to switch up the publication that displays under your writer profile? You want to be in your writer profile settings rather than your publication dashboard settings. ✨
@@creativelyconsciousUK I know but I can't see it in my profile settings. I can see my two publications there but nothing like "change your primary publication"
Hi, I'd love to buy your book, but the kickstart is finished. Where can I buy it, as an ebook?
What country are you in?
@@creativelyconsciousUK France
@@gaspardpastural ah your best option is to follow my co author Russell on Substack as he’ll put the ebook behind his paywall at some point. ✨
@@gaspardpastural you can buy the ebook here but I can't ship to europe because of brexit tax etc - www.creativelyconscious.co.uk/how-to-build-a-world-class-substack-paperback-book
Thank you so much for such a fascinating chat.
Aw thank you Jane... xx
This is a great video. Thanks! My only problem is that I cannot find the toggle between sections as it is shown in this video. It's August 2024 now. Did they remove that option?
This is me toggling between publications not sections. Here's a post on sections but I think perhaps you got sorted with Russell's support over at Small Talk? - sparkleon.substack.com/p/tidying-up-our-homepage-navigation
I love when David says the whisper .....is where the golds lies...
so beautiful xx
Such an inspiring way to start my day. Thank you both 💕
Aw Jamie that is so nice of you to say - I was BUZZING yesterday!
Aaaah, love the journal - thanks. We feel a deeper connection to our mission and vision when we write by hand on paper... back to basics!
Thank you Nika - I love this so so much.
I'm so glad someone else feels the same way about instagram. It's so overwhelming. I just don't like it, so I just post about my books or when I write an article because It does get me views on substack.
It's true - I'm having an insta break right now as you just need those from time to time. How's your SS going?
@creativelyconsciousUK I have almost twice as many followers as subscribers. I'm not sure how I feel about that. But I think I finally found a good pace. I was trying to do too much for a while and got tired.
@@skincarecookbook ahh the followers thing is a bit of a distraction - I just ignore it really - I wrote about it a little here - sparkleon.substack.com/p/how-to-use-substack-notes
Your name, Claire, means clear. And you were very clear!
Claire, this was way more helpful than anything I learned on Substack itself. After a year at Substack, somehow I still never noticed that little camera icon up there not far from italics. If you ask Substack, they actually have no idea how to make a video on Substack. Following you, I made and posted my first video on Substack in just a few minutes! Thank-you!
Oh delighted I could help!
Thank you for this Claire. For a newbie to Substack this is so very helpful.
Oh your so welcome - come join us over at Sparkle on Substack?
Oh I'm a huge fan of Kiki's!
Oh yay. She's so brilliant.
Aw, thank you so much, Jax! So lovely to see you here 🤗
@@creativelyconsciousUKthank you again for today! It was fun 🤗
Thank you for this video! I just subscribed to you channel and look forward to learning more so I get get started
You're super welcome - come join us over at Sparkle on Substack for more.
Helpful tips! Thank you!
You’re welcome ✨✨
So beautiful
It really is
TLDR: Substack is a great platform for creative writers to share their work, engage with their audience, and potentially monetize their content. 00:00 📝 Start your own Substack as a creative writer and share your love for it with the world. 01:22 📰 Create a Substack publication to curate and showcase content, engage with the community, and receive random recommendations from other Substacks. 02:52 📝 Substack allows creatives to write long-form content tailored to their style and business model, providing creative freedom for experimentation and long-term strategy in writing, podcasting, and video. 04:42 📝 Substack offers social interaction and the speaker runs a membership for creatives, emphasizing the balance between big dreams and manageable work, suggesting moving monthly newsletters to Substack for better engagement and sending out weekly emails with creative tips. 06:09 📝 Substack is a great place to start for free, with the ability to customize and grow your content over time. 07:15 💡 Substack allows for visibility and connection with other creators, with the flexibility for creators to set up their own paywalls or accept donations for their writing. 08:34 📝 Start a Substack because it's easy to use, allows for growth, and provides depth of engagement with your audience. 09:53 💌 Take the master class and course to fast forward through the creative process and feel confident in starting to show up on Substack.
Trying to navigate substack and this has been a great place to learn. Thank you!
Aw thanks for watching - let me know if I can help.
@@creativelyconsciousUK would love to know about how to integrate a podcast and/or RUclips into substack. Or is it better to record directly in substack?
@@SincerelySeema sparkleon.substack.com/p/how-i-made-my-podcasts-in-substack?
This was a really interesting conversation. I mainly watch your videos on RUclips and I read your weekly Substack. But I haven’t really explored Substack beyond that. I will have a look today and explore!
You fancy starting a Substack? How exciting! Thanks for supporting me - it means the world.
TLDR: Substack offers various options for incorporating videos into posts, but users should be mindful of potential technical issues and consider the best format for engaging with their audience. 00:00 🎥 Use video on Substack to engage with your audience, but be aware of potential technical issues. 00:36 📹 Edit your post title, subtitle, add a guest writer, and record or upload a video directly into Substack. 01:27 📹 Use the video button to insert a video into a normal post on Substack. 02:02 💡 You can now post multiple videos within a Substack post, and you have the option to edit and embed videos into the text. 03:02 📹 You can embed a RUclips video on Substack instead of uploading a raw Zoom file or recording directly into Substack. 03:53 📹 Substack videos are different from podcast posts, as they cannot be edited and are all pushed into the main section, but it is possible to choose a section for scheduled posts. 04:58 📹 Use post format instead of video on Substack for better display and SEO, and consider sending video posts to paid members over the summer. 05:42 🌱 Join the speaker's membership on Substack for weekly creative prompts to design your summer and beyond.
TLDR: Running multiple publications on Substack is easy and allows for targeting specific audiences, utilizing the existing network effect within the platform to grow audience, and creating separate spaces for personal thoughts and experiences. 00:00 📝 Substack is a great platform for writing, and the speaker, Claire, is an engagement consultant and mentor who loves teaching about it. 00:46 📝 Substack allows for multiple publications and the speaker has created a new publication called Sparkle for Substack resources. 02:25 📰 Running multiple publications on Substack allows for targeting specific audiences and can be easily managed by using different colors to distinguish between them. 04:05 📝 Claire Venus runs multiple publications on Substack, sharing one with Laura and setting up a separate login for a client's Northumberland-specific publication, with the ability to recommend other Substacks. 05:12 📈 Running multiple publications on Substack and utilizing the existing network effect within the platform to grow audience. 06:34 📈 Substack subscriber report shows most subscribers are from English-speaking countries, with overlap in audience from other popular Substack publications. 07:56 📝 Consider topic and tone of main publication when setting up additional publications on Substack, benefits of writing under a ghost name for creative expression and need for separate space for personal thoughts and experiences. 09:40 📰 Running multiple publications on Substack is easy, allowing for multiple writers to be attached to one profile and creating separate publications on the same platform.
Great
Heeey I have just started my newsletter and I am stuck at a point where I disabled the feature called double opt-in for email confirmation but when anyone subscribe to my channel it is showing that you have to confirm you via email please help me I'm really frustrated because I have so many things but nothing is working out!!!😢😢😢
If it’s on Susbtack you can ask the chat bot?
@@creativelyconsciousUK I'd asked for this but they didn't do anything for my problem can't you help me....? 🙏
@@amanmishra-hz8tg ah sorry no I don't do double opt in... you can send an email to substack support - they take a while but do get back to everyone.
I was a freelance writer myself- 22 years. I didn't go on Substack though until after I retired in 2017I And then only after I wrote a blog for 4 years elsewhere . So far , So Good with Substack. It just seems to give you more options and not just writing aspects either. Though i already have a soundtrack since 2021, I just started another this month to write about movies. So we will see what happens.
Hi Claire! I'm getting started on substack and was wondering if you're open to one on one support? I need help walking through this process. Thanks if you do!
Hi yes sure all my offers are here - www.creativelyconscious.co.uk/substack-classes
Great masterclass and I love how you use 3 people as your ideal client - this is genius and I'll be adding it to my writings - thank you Claire for the replay. All the best - Geraldine Scott
Aw thanks so much for watching Geraldine! So glad it helped you get thinking about your newsletter...
TLDR: Using recommendations, managing recommendation blurbs, and building a deep connection with subscribers are essential strategies for growing your audience on Substack. 00:00 💡 Use recommendations to grow your Substack audience, as they appear on your home page and can attract new subscribers. 00:47 📈 Input stacks, recommend no more than five, manage recommendations to gain subscribers. 02:30 📈 The number of subscriptions on Substack is influenced by the amount of effort put in and the size of the creator's online following. 03:39 💡 Manage recommendation blurbs on your Substack welcome page, add blurbs about your Substack, and recommend/unrecommend other people's Substacks to grow your Substack. 05:19 📈 Recommend others' work in a similar niche to drive subscribers and provide social proof on Substack. 06:15 📱 Turn on smart notifications on Substack to manage the overwhelming volume of emails and focus on app-based experience for reading newsletters and replying to comments and messages. 07:25 📈 Building a deep connection with subscribers on Substack is important for long-term creativity, well-being, and business growth. 08:39 💡 Share tools and strategies for growing on Substack, with resources and personal experience, and a passion for teaching others.
Can you explain how you launched the membership? On my settings page, I just see a way to turn on subscriptions. I don't see anything about memberships.
I call my paid tier membership.
If you have multiple writer profiles (in my case I have multiple pen names for different genres), what happens when you monetize? Are you allowed to connect multiple writer profiles to the same Stripe account?
How it worked for me was setting up multiple stripe projects in the same stripe account... hope that helps...
@@creativelyconsciousUK Thank you!
Thank you Claire! One thing I am confused about is how to permanently edit the text when I add a "Share post with caption" or "Subscribe with caption" button. Looks like I have to edit this each time I post? Is there a way to make a post template with headers, footers, buttons, links to other posts, etc. so I don't have to recreate this each time? Thanks for any help!
To clarify: I watched your video about headers and footers for posts viewed via email but I am also curious about headers and footers for posts viewed in the app.
Yes you do - that is great feedback for Substack though - perhaps you can keep it handy to paste in?
So are you saying that instead of using pay walls I should have posts that are totally free and others that are totally paid?
It's all an experiment but yes I have seen just as much conversion this way...
I watched this halfway through this and I have no idea what you re doing. I don’t understand how you are connecting Pinterest to Substack or why. What is the end goal? What is it you are trying to help me to do? Im missing the big picture. I’m frustrated.
Are you on Substack?
@@creativelyconsciousUK Hi Claire. Thank you for your reply. I am new to Substack. Moore Will Be Revealed . I was really interested in the subject of your video but ultimately couldn’t grasp it. Maybe you address the issue somewhere else. If so could you tell me please where I can find that info?. And thank you so much. I follow you on Sparkle. Love what you are doing. All best. Todd
Hmm so this is a video podcast exploration of what my VA Sophie did for me to grow my profile on pinterest @@toddmoore9396 - I'm interested in how pinterest works so we talk about the different pins and I'm also interested in flooding pinterest with substack education pins because there aren't many on there and we are all trying to grow our Substacks. The best growth is still within the Substack network so my energy always goes there first. Pinterest is full of readers and people who will click links so it is worth considering as part of your strategy but it's not my wheelhouse - I leave it to Sophie... This interview came from my pinterest profile views growing quite rapidly and Sophie agreeing to share that with my audience which I've now made open source... will review thanks to your comments. Cheers Todd!!!
Thank you! How can we insert the upgrade to paid link? I mean from where to take the link?
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean.
@@creativelyconsciousUK For the email header and footer. I figure it out. It’s just a link and the color is auto.
Ah @@luiginica - you can change you colours in website design in settings...
@@creativelyconsciousUK Thank you!
My mind is blown re: you not having any personal emails. Why am I not doing that!!!?????
Yay - pleased to be of service lovely.
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this Claire I've got a list of things for my plan! Great ideas
Thanks Sarah! I'm excited to share more and unpack the numbers in an accompanying post. xx
I'm new to substack! So much to learn 😅
Welcome - join us over at Sparkle on Substack?
Quick question please. Am I right in thnking that you can't upload from your phone to Substack?-also are any apps or programmes that work well with it?
You can use google chrome or safari and log in -om your phone - the app is for notes, chat, commenting and reading...
@@creativelyconsciousUK Thanks for this. I found out today that those notes are Oates out as updates.
Thank you both, very interesting.
Our pleasure!
Great insight! How long did it take you to get to 2 k? Thanks
just over a year but focussed around nine months
Where can I see more on these Pinterest pins that were designed by Sophie?
On pinterest? Search Sophie Ingleby?
What you’re doing here is great ! Thanks! I have a file of questions.
@@ResellDecadence there is lots to learn but it's a great platform.
Great content- I pretty much launched mine today…it’s called Resell Decadence . This is a great channel.
As a substack writer, Ive found I get more click throughs from Facebook and LinkedIn and articles I write. I keep pinterest up just in case.
I think the tone is different with all three isn't it - like pinterest is cold contacts?
@creativelyconsciousUK yes. And a lot of my followers don't use pinterest. I don't know if it's that It's not a good place for me or I just have to go about it a different way. I get views but not many click throughs... so maybe my pictures are just attracting the wrong person. Hmm. Something to think about. Thanks.
@@skincarecookbook it was interesting as some of mine got views but no clicks and others got both so we went with more designs of that type - it is a hungry machine you have to feed I think?
Congratulations
Thanks so much.
Fab ! Joined other day. Can’t see where to post newsletter on app? Any ideas? I can see the feed.. thanks!
You can't use the app to post. You can open and log into safari or google chrome on your phone though.
@@creativelyconsciousUK ah thanks.
Great video. How do I paywall a video, so people watch three minutes but have to subscribe to watch the other seven?
Hi David - I have an update on video you can check that out here - you get to choose how long your preview is in the video uploader... sparkleon.substack.com/p/substack-videoa-test
Thanks for that. Unfortunately what I need is more technical. I've looked and looked and can't find what button to press o choose the length of the preview. The video uploader on my computer is super-simple with no buttons that look like they would do this. Can you help?@@creativelyconsciousUK
