There are two solutions:

A) Use a "commercial" CC license.

B) Write an additional license which allows further things.

Option B has several disadvantages:

 * You will clutter your work with two licenses.

 * The regular CC license allows copying of the work without the
   requirement to keep your additional license note attached.

 * In case of the "share alike" license, people are only required
   to license their modified works under this license, not to use
   your additions as well. So, you might shoot yourself in the
   foot.

(Please note that I am not part of the CC project, so this is not 
an official answer.)
