The number 1 thing you need for your business, practice, freelance or art career, is a newsletter. In a world where social media algorithms are suppressing people, or making you create trending content, a newsletter is the most valuable and effective way to reach your future clients, patrons, and friends. If you want to quit your job and start a business, publish a book in the next 3-18 months, promote your art, or boost your freelance career, you need a newsletter.
Clear Channels helps you create your own algorithms.
Get out of your way, and get your newsletter out into the world in 1 month.
A completed newsletter on the platform of your choice
Content ideas for the next 3-12 months
Tried and tested ways to keep going and share your work
Somatic, energetic, and practical ways to deal with rejection, fear, and anxiety around sharing your work
An opened channel; access to new flow states, and more congruent energy
More confidence and excitement about sharing your work and ideas with others that get it
You have a ton of ideas, but they feel scattered and disconnected
You love the energy and magical aspect of creativity, and want to become better at channeling
You’re ready to open your heart and your voice, and share your truths and talents with the world
You lose steam around creative consistency, and want to find proven methods to stay with your creative process
It’s been a while since you’ve created anything, and you need a jumpstart and some bravery
You are ready for a pivot, and want your newsletter and output to reflect your next version
You are beyond sick of social media and are ready to stop spending so much time there
You have ADHD, are chronically ill, highly sensitive, and/or are neurodivergent, and want to learn from someone who gets it
You aren’t going to show up and take action
You aren’t self-motivated
You hate writing and expressing yourself, it’s boring to you
Sarah Faith Gottesdiener knows first hand about how important a newsletter and a clear channel is. In 2016, she began her newsletter, and has sent one out every week since to an organically grown audience of 25,000 with a 65% open rate: an unheard rate. This year,
The Moon Studio decided to go all in on their newsletter for the business, and only promote her offerings on her favorite channels: to her newsletter and to her podcast. The result? An income boost of $60,000 over the previous year. A Substack that grew from 2,000 subscribers to 5,500, organically. More importantly, there was more enjoyment. More peace. More time. More space.
In addition to the strategies you’ll learn at Clear Channels, every participant also receives a 70 page guide full of resources, rituals, and frameworks to get you out of your head and into flow.
In this guide you’ll find detailed breakdowns and comparisons of newsletter platforms, a step-by-step walkthrough for getting started sending a weekly newsletter, and 55+ prompts to help you figure out what to say.
Need a breakdown of all different newsletter providers? We got you.
Need suggestions on templates to use for welcome sequences? We got you.
Need suggestions on how to find legal photos and other branding techniques? We got you.
Need clear, best practices for how to get folks on your newsletters? It’s in the guide.
Go through the guide and never feel stuck or confused with your newsletter again.
This is meant for anyone who wants to begin sharing their art, voice, skills, and gifts with the world through channels they own. There will be some discussion about paid offerings and products, which might be useful. This will also be good for you if you’ve been a practitioner for a while but need a reset/reframe/refresh. If you are in a transitional period and want the time to clarify and plan more, this workshop will work beautifully for you, as well.
If you can catch up between getting the recordings and the question-and-answer gatherings, yes! Or, if you are a self-starter, and know you will do all the exercises and be able to take bold, imperfect action over the next few months, please do.
This depends on where you are.
The time it takes to set up newsletters, websites, or podcasts can fluctuate wildly.
We will touch upon time management on Day 2.
The goal is to set up a system that works for you.
There are no refunds for any of our products.
We do everything in our power to explain what you will receive and how you will receive it. We always suggest you listen to Moonbeaming, Sarah's podcast, to see if you resonate with your teacher, purchase a download, and subscribe to the Moonbeaming newsletter.
