Episode 99 | The 6 income streams in my million-dollar course business
00:17:07
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE knowing about how other online entrepreneurs and business owners make money!
It’s like being a fly on the wall and getting an insider perspective behind the brand.
At this point in my own business, I have made well over a million dollars since I launched my first course in 2017. In 2021, we hit $700k in annual gross revenue, which was our biggest year yet.
So how did I do it?
Well, I had 6 streams of income that made up that number.
Some people will tell you to focus on only one product until you hit a million a year with it. And while that approach can totally work, I like to have my eggs in a few baskets. I love to diversify and that’s exactly what I’ve done with my business.
In today’s episode I’ll be diving into that in more detail and breaking it all down for you.
So stay tuned!

Episode 102 | How Meg went from $0 to $250k/year with her online course business for food entrepreneurs
00:22:00
I am really excited to share this story today.
In this interview, I’m sitting down with Meg Svec.
Meg is the Co-Owner of Spilt Milk Pastry, a bakery in Chicago, and the Founder of Bakery Business Academy.
A few months after launching a small digital product, Meg came to work with me. I helped her re-position her offer, build out her product suite, improve her launching, come up with a lead generation strategy, and ultimately build out a thriving digital business.
As a mom to young kids and a busy bakery owner, Meg needed to create a business that could operate with her limited time – about 5 to 10 hours a week.
And I’m ridiculously pleased to share that within the first year of working together, Meg grew her online course side hustle business to a quarter million dollars in revenue.
Let’s roll the interview!

I took a full month off my online business and still grossed $45,000 USD in revenue. Here’s how I did it.
Last month I took a month-long trip to England. Beyond the fun stories and photo reel, I wanted to share with you what it REALLY looks like to take time off from your business.

Episode 121 | How Dani brought $30k of new revenue into her copywriting business with her online course
00:29:40
Dani Paige - a Canadian freelancer - built her copywriting business after realizing she needed out of her 9-5 job. A few years in, she was booked solid with 1:1 copywriting work for online creatives and knew that the only way to scale her revenue was to add a 1:many offer into the mix.
Enter: Sales Page Prep School.
Dani launched her flagship course to help people learn how to write personality-popping (and conversion driven) sales pages. Using the strategies and approach inside my program, Course Creator School, she has now launched it twice, brought in $30k in additional revenue into her business, and has taken it evergreen. Talk about a dream student!

The best subject line she’s ever used
The number one thing everyone should have on their sales page
The thing she wished she hadn’t done in her business
Her vision of what a “dream business” looks like (and how she’s getting there)

Episode 124 | Is launching a course good for business? (what REALLY happens)
00:07:53
If you are an established entrepreneur, what happens to your business when you launch an online course?
If you run a service based business, or do 1:1 coaching, or even own a physical product business, what are the side effects of also becoming a course creator?
Are people going to think you’re changing your business entirely?
Will you lose high ticket 1:1 customers, because you’re selling something cheaper?
Will you stop getting coaching clients because they can learn what you know in a course?
Will the rest of your offers stop selling?
These are all very real questions that I get from students all the time.
So let’s talk about what REALLY happens when you come to the market with a new course…

Episode 126 | What FRIENDS (yes, the show) can teach us about course launch emails
00:10:27
People keep making these email marketing mistakes that are KILLING their course launches!
Whether you are gearing up to live launch your course or writing an evergreen funnel to sell your course on autopilot, there are always a lot of emails to write.
Here’s the truth: the more emails you send, the more sales you will make.
I’ve seen it over and over again in my own business and in the hundreds of course launches I’ve mentored for my students.
BUT – the biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs make is that they send the same style of email – usually pretty salesy ones with the main features of the offer – and that’s it.
So how can you write emails that are more thought provoking and appeal to all the different buyers in your audience?
I’ve got the best way to think about it.
You need to write your emails for every character in Friends.
Yep, the TV show.
(Psst - I’m a diehard Friends fan. I crush it in Friends trivia every single time).
When you do this, you’ll create a varied set of emails for your launch that will come across as interesting, dynamic, and ultimately lead to more opens, more clicks, and more sales.
Tune in to this episode to learn how to write your launch emails for each Friends Character.

Episode 131 | The One Strategy No Course Coach is Talking About (and how it will automate more sales!)
00:16:35
In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the strategies that I use to automate more sales of my courses in my business.
It’s something I call the “Forever Funnel” and after experimenting with it a little over a year ago, I noticed that it created a lot of advantages in my business:
Advantage #1: It capitalizes on your best content and makes it work harder for you
Advantage #2: It creates additional pathways to purchase for your leads
Advantage #3: It automates more of your marketing… and sales
Advantage #4: It opens up conversations with “ready to buy” subscribers
Tune in to the episode today to learn more about how this strategy works!
What’s next?
After testing and trying different marketing strategies since 2017, I’ve landed on a 3-part system that I believe is the most effective way to maximize your course sales. It’s called the “Triple Threat Hybrid Method”.
I’ll be giving a free workshop on Jan 17, 2023 where I’ll be going into this strategy and how you can implement it in 2023 to hit $100k+ in your business.

Episode 136 | Building a business around your lifestyle - Stacy Aguilar's story
00:19:13
Today, we're chatting with one of our Passive Project Members: Stacy Aguila.
Stacy is a lifestyle brand and website designer for educators, leaders, go-getters, and creative visionaries. She works with a lot of course creators, especially when it comes to program launch support and the brands and websites that support those businesses!
In this episode, she is sharing:
How The Passive Project was one of the first things she invested in as she started thinking more seriously about her business and how she has been able to build her business around her lifestyle.
Let's dive in!
Let's no forget some kind words she had to say about her experience inside of The Passive Project:
"Passive Project was a giant help for me when I was hosting and launching my membership in 2021. It was a safe and honest space to ask questions and debrief on results. Learn from past launches and get help on next steps. I loved how accessible Gemma was and how warm the community always is.
I’ve also made some great connections within the community and feel like the members inside of it are in the same phase of life and place in their business as me, which has been encouraging.
PP was one of the first things I invested in as I started thinking more seriously about my business. And Gemma was one of the first business coaches I started listening to. I really like to narrow who I'm getting advice from, and I always felt connected to Gemma's style and the way PP was set up. It felt warm and approachable.
When I first started my business, I focused on creating a passive program right away. And I feel like it was fairly successful for a first run. I made around $10K, but more importantly, it helped me understand what I did and didn’t like when it came to my business. "

How courses can change your business for 1:1 service providers
How TikTok and Youtube generated the most organized leads for her business
Let's no forget some kind words she had to say about her experience inside of The Passive Project:
"Learning Gemma’s strategy on how to do webinars resulted in a 7% conversion rate! It's the first time ever I've actually had people buy live on a webinar! PP completely changed the way I teach webinars and sell my offers.
I always thought I ran "good" webinars but now my mind has been blown. I realized how much I was hiding my offer at the end and felt guilty trying to sell to people. That mindset shift has been my biggest win from the program. I now have it on an evergreen funnel that’s converting at 2% and I’ve 4X’d my course sales in one year, from $22k to $85k!"

In his online events and classes, Daniel teaches fiction writers how to tell better stories using the "character-first" approach.
In this episode, he is sharing:
Why working with a business coach like Gemma really helps you spot the overly complex things to avoid and the small steps you would have through fatigue and busy-ness overlooked.
Why more creators should host regular summits!
Let's no forget some kind words he had to say about his experience inside of The Passive Project:
"I've implemented some of the changes Gemma advised for selling my coaching program. I love the results! Sales have been great and I’m able to set expectations a lot better before people buy. I broke $100k in revenue for the year - for the first time ever. Gemma’s advice is going to help me have an even better 2022!
I followed Gemma's advice about my Black Friday promotion to the letter and it worked extraordinarily well. My best week ever in the business. I made $39k in those 5 days. I was blown away!"

Episode 139 | 2023 Mastermind - I’m finally doing it
00:21:04
I’m putting together a mastermind (finally! for real!) in 2023.
It started at xmas, when I was reflecting on how I wanted to work with clients at the highest level this year.
For a few years now, I’ve been taking on clients 1:1.
Typically we sign for a 3-month container (a $10k package) and meet bi-weekly during that time.
By working so closely together, we knock out incredible goals and move strategy along fast. Some of my client results include $40k+ launches, hitting a $250k/year, building out entire product suites, and creating evergreen systems for sales.
And then late last year, I decided to run a small-group "Evergreen Accelerator".
It was a fast-paced 4 week program for about 20 entrepreneurs (investment was $2k), where we built out webinar-based evergreen funnels together. Similar to what I teach inside of Passive Project, but in an accelerated, live environment.
We met up each week over Zoom - with a lot of homework in between! It was intimate, strategic, and the clients executed FAST.
Like my 1:1 clients, I really loved getting to work at this deeper level, *but* I also saw the power of creating the small group connection. It was clear that the relationship part was a powerful component to the success of the group.
So with the experience of both of those things, I knew I wanted to do a hybrid of 1:1 and small group programming in 2023.
As I got ready to launch Passive Project in January, I created a "Plus" tier to the program and slapped it on the sales page to start to gauge interest.
That one, tiny paragraph of my initial concept of this mastermind-type offer generated a handful of applications and DMs from dream-fit clients.
It’s clear that this was exactly what some of you were looking for.
The strategy I teach inside The Passive Project is incredibly high level and comprehensive, but there’s something to be said about working together 1:1 and getting that extra level of support and accountability in a small group.
And this is where the Accelerator Mastermind was born.
I’m opening up a few spots for this new small group program by invitation.
We’ve already secured 3 spots. 5 others have been accepted but are pending payment. So by the time you read this there might actually only be 4 spots left.
(the cap is 12 participants)
All the information about the mastermind can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p261HnVFg9UITxYqsPe65LCbsdnLaaQZom-sYkD3XHY
If it sounds like the right fit, I’d love to chat and see if this is the next best move for your business.
How do you get your invitation?
Submit an application form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrPwSWhTEVOm_UXsBqY5Gs_lkjHBKO98qN0sbE05hUxJ4ltA/viewform
Have questions? Include them in your application form and we'll get back to you with answers.
Don’t wait to reach out - we’re going to wrap up this enrollment soon. Kick off starts on Feb 27.

Episode 140 | When “big” entrepreneurs quit their businesses - here’s what I think we can learn
00:31:03
I have followed Vanessa Lau online for years (she’s always been on top of the game when it comes to social media) and last week she announced that she’s taking a potentially permanent sabbatical from her business.
After reading her announcement, it got me thinking about the pattern of other “big time” entrepreneurs who have quit or left their businesses.
I have huge respect for Vanessa that she put her happiness, well-being and health first *BUT* I also think there are some lessons to be learned here.
So, I turned on my microphone and recorded this episode.
Tune in to hear what I think about the situation, the quitting pattern I’ve noticed, and how we can ask ourselves some key questions to ensure we’re building businesses that align with what we want our lives to look like.

In today’s episode of The Course Creator Show, I’m chatting about all things money!
As someone who has always loved making my own money and saving it up, I didn't really start thinking about investing until I was in my twenties and bought my first house. It was then that I realized the true value of owning property and began to explore other avenues of investment.
But let's be real, the world of finance can be overwhelming and confusing, especially for those who weren't taught about it in school. That's why I've made it my mission to educate myself and others on the best ways to create financial freedom and flexibility.
In this episode, we'll be discussing some of the strategies I've used to manage my own money, as well as some tips on how to invest in stocks and real estate. Whether you're just starting out as an entrepreneur or you're looking to take your financial knowledge to the next level, this episode is for you.
So grab a cup of coffee (or your preferred beverage of choice) and tune in to The Course Creator Show. Let's get ready to make some money moves!

Episode 153 | Calculating Your Financial Freedom Number and How I Track My Personal Net Worth
00:26:33
I’m spilling the tea and serving up some serious money insights in the latest podcast episode!
It was at least 6-7 years ago when I first read about the idea of the “financial freedom” number.
I read about it in a book and immediately started doing the calculations on the back of my notepad to figure out how much we would need invested to retire and never have to make a penny again.
And while that number has changed and evolved over time, given the ideas and dreams my husband and I have for our family, the idea has stuck and is one that we are actively working towards.
(not that I want to retire anytime soon – but your girl loves having a goal!)
In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m diving into…
The FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement
Helping you calculate your financial freedom number
And figuring out your personal net worth
I’ll also share how I track our personal net worth every quarter – an idea that you can totally swipe for yourself.
Trust me, this episode could change everything about how you are thinking about your money.
Lets roll the tape!

00:39:24
Bonjour, dear listeners!
I'm incredibly excited to share with you the details of my recent three-week trip to the beautiful South of France. From the enchanting streets of Aix-en-Provence to the historical gems of Toulouse, and the charming medieval town of Mirepoix, there's so much to unpack.
But that's not all. Travelling with kids, as many of you may know, requires a whole different level of preparation and patience. In this episode, I'll be sharing my top tips for making the journey enjoyable for the whole family.
Then, we’ll shift gears and talk about something every entrepreneur dreams of: making money while taking time off.
Yes, you heard it right! I managed to pull in a cool $67k USD in product sales during my vacation. Want to know how? In this week's episode, I will spill the beans about the strategies I used, how I prepared my business for my absence, and exactly what products sold like hotcakes to rake in that dough.
It's not magic, but a matter of careful planning and strategy. I will break down the four key areas you need to consider and build to ensure you have that same kind of financial stability in your sales.
In this episode, we'll dive into:
1. My travel itinerary in the south of France – get ready for some serious travel inspo! 2. Essential tips for travelling with kids to make your journey a breeze. 3. How I made $67k in product sales while sipping on French wine and basking in the Mediterranean sun. 4. Detailed insights into what sold and how I sold it to secure that impressive revenue. 5. The four main things you, as an entrepreneur, need to consider and build for your own financial security and to maintain consistent sales, even when you're not actively in your business.
So, buckle up for this blend of travel tales and business insights, designed to entertain, inspire, and educate.
Let's roll the tape!

Episode 158 | Bucking the Trend: My Hot Take on Social Media and Sales (plus a dirty little secret…)
00:20:35
In this fiery episode, I serve up my own “hot take” on social media selling, discussing my alternative approach to the popular content-to-sale strategy. I delve into the reasons why, unlike many online entrepreneurs, I opt for tech and automation rather than constant performance on social platforms. Plus, I share my “dirty little secret” that I rarely check my Instagram analytics. Intrigued? You should be!
What You'll Learn
- The unconventional approach to using social media in my sales process. - Why I'm drawn to tech, automation, and systems rather than constant social media performance. - My stance on Instagram analytics and the data I focus on instead. - How I utilize social media to fill my sales funnels, not to be my main sales avenue. - Why I prefer to refine and improve a few core programs rather than continually creating new ones.
I’m challenging the norm on this one and taking you behind the scenes of my thought process around social media and how I’m currently using it.

Have you ever dreamt of packing up and moving abroad for a year? In this episode of our podcast, Gemma continues to share the behind-the-scenes of her family's monumental move to France. It's a blend of excitement, anxiety, planning, and a lot of logistics. If the idea of living overseas piques your interest, or you're simply curious about the process, this episode is for you.
Gemma dives deep into the overwhelming process of getting a long-term visa, the constant anxiety that comes with waiting for its approval, and her euphoria when it finally arrives. This episode gives you an honest look at what it's like to plan a life-altering move without the final confirmation from the authorities.
But the visa was just the first step; there was a house in Ottawa to deal with. Renting it out seemed like a logical step, but how? Do you DIY or engage a real estate agent? Gemma shares her journey from trying to handle it herself to eventually finding an agent and securing the perfect tenant.
What do you do with your car when moving abroad? Should you buy, rent, or simply go without a vehicle? With their apartment located in a city with efficient public transport, Gemma reveals their final decision, highlighting the pros and cons that influenced their choice.
She also touches upon one aspect often overlooked by many – health insurance. Moving abroad is exciting but ensuring your family's health is secured is crucial. Listen to find out how they navigated this essential requirement.
As she prepares for her family's year in France, Gemma invites listeners to share their stories of living abroad or their future plans.
Towards the end of the episode, Gemma considers how she'll document her time in France, while staying true to her brand's core values. Is a second Instagram handle on the horizon? Or a monthly recap on the podcast?
Listen in as Gemma explores these questions and prepares for the next big adventure. This episode is full of insights, reflections, and a wealth of practical information for anyone considering a significant move abroad.
If you're looking to be inspired, gather some valuable tips, or simply want to follow Gemma's journey, tune in now and enjoy the ride!

Episode 184 | Burn It Down and Build It Better, with guest Mallory Rowan [Part 1]
00:23:46
In this episode of The Course Creator Show, we dive deep into the entrepreneurial journey's less spoken about side—why and how entrepreneurs are choosing to 'burn down' their businesses to forge something more sustainable, aligned, and ultimately, more successful.
Join me, Gemma Bonham-Carter, and guest host Mallory Rowan, as we unravel the layers behind making drastic decisions for long-term gain, sharing our personal experiences and the strategies we've implemented to avoid the dreaded burnout. Here's what you'll discover:
The Cycle of Entrepreneurial Renewal: We kick things off by discussing the phenomenon of de-scaling and why some entrepreneurs are choosing to step back or start anew. It's about understanding the signs and preparing for a reset before it's too late.
Building with Intention: Learn how to create a business that doesn't just survive but thrives—without the need for constant oversight. We'll share insights into making strategic decisions that ensure your business aligns with your personal and financial goals.
Three Pillars to a Resilient Business:
Staying Aligned: Discover why chasing the next big thing might lead to burnout and how staying true to your values and vision can build a more fulfilling and financially stable business.
Seeing Your Business as a Piece of Your Financial Puzzle: We'll discuss how integrating your business goals with your personal finance strategy can keep profit margins healthy and ego-driven decisions at bay.
Avoiding the Identity Trap: Find out how to build a brand and products that allow you the freedom to evolve without being pigeonholed into a single identity or market.
Real Talk on Revenue and Investments: Diving into the nitty-gritty of why it's not just about the money you make but the money you keep and grow. We'll share our personal strategies for dumping profits into investments that matter.
Whether you're contemplating a significant change in your business, looking to start on the right foot, or simply seeking ways to prevent burnout, this episode is packed with real-world insights and actionable advice.
