"Gemma, I have all these ideas... what should I launch first?"I get that question in my DMs a lot :)When you are looking to branch out into digital products and add a 1:many offer to your business, you’ll start looking into it and likely get overwhelmed at all the options out there.Do you create a…A mini offer.A course.A membership.A group coaching program.Heck, maybe even an eBook?After creating and selling digital products since 2016 and working with thousands of students, here’s what I know to be true: All of these things can work.One type of offer doesn’t "win" compared to the others.They can all be a success if you give them enough time and effort.So what CAN make a difference to how quickly you grow your business?--> The order in which you roll out your digital offers <--In today's episode, I'm diving into what I like to call the Profit Early Method!This is the exact method I used to generate $500K in revenue last year!So hit that play button!----The Doors Are Now OPEN: Course Creator SchoolThe Doors to Course Creator School are now OPEN!

Ever thought about launching a mini offer?⁠ ⁠ Maybe you're looking to branch out into digital products for the first time, these can look like an amazing option.⁠ ⁠ Create something once, and sell it over and over again.⁠ ⁠Something with no coaching or interactive component.⁠ ⁠And you might think it’ll be way easier to sell because it’s cheap!⁠ ⁠I mean, who wouldn’t buy this awesome thing for just $27? It’s a steal!⁠ ⁠But unfortunately it’s just not that easy.⁠ ⁠ Let's say you choose to price your offer at $37 and you want to make $10K.⁠ ⁠ Let’s assume a 10% conversion rate on the sales (which is generous, by the way), you’d have to get 2000 people to land on your sales page.⁠ ⁠That’s A LOT of eyeballs.⁠ ⁠ Even if you have a big audience, it’s going to be hard for you to get 2000 people to land on that sales page, particularly month after month to keep profiting.⁠ ⁠The way you have big success with mini offers is by using paid advertising to drive eyeballs to that sales page.⁠ ⁠If you want to make those $10k months, you have to be running ads to get those 2000 eyeballs.⁠ ⁠ But now you’ve got the cost of the ads (and maybe hiring an ads manager).⁠ ⁠So that $10k just took a hit.⁠ ⁠If you are getting a 2X return on your ad spend, it means you will need to spend $5000 to get that $10000 in sales.⁠ ⁠And if you hired an ads agency? Add another $2000 in management fees.⁠ ⁠That $10k just turned into $3k.⁠ ⁠ We haven’t included any expenses like software, a customer support team member you might need to handle your inbox, and any potential refund requests.⁠ ⁠See how the money can look good from the outside ("easy 10k months!") but isn’t so great when you peel back the curtain?⁠ ⁠It was only after I had healthy revenue in my business and could invest in an ads team that I started venturing into mini offers!⁠ ⁠I today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and talking all about what it really looks like to lead with a mini offer!Let's dive in!Have you grabbed your spot inside Online Course Prep School yet?

I’ve been doing the online business thing for a hot minute now.I got into blogging back in 2010. Then shifted into teaching and creating courses in 2017. And in that time, between the programs I’ve enrolled in, peer masterminds I’ve been a part of, and conferences I’ve attended, I have been around a lot of entrepreneurs who make more than $1million/year in their businesses. I have had a chance to chat with them, understand their business model, and get a sense of the back-end of their operations. Here are some lessons that being around $1m/year business owners have taught me…#1 --> They don’t necessarily know anything more than you or I do. Sometimes it’s just the fact that they’ve been doing it for longer.Bottom line: Consistency and time in the marketplace matter.#1 --> They don’t necessarily know anything more than you or I do. Sometimes it’s just the fact that they’ve been doing it for longer.Bottom line: Consistency and time in the marketplace matter.#1 --> They don’t necessarily know anything more than you or I do. Sometimes it’s just the fact that they’ve been doing it for longer.Bottom line: Consistency and time in the marketplace matter.#4 --> A lot of them have huge expenses every month. Team costs and ad budgets are usually the two biggies. There’s nothing wrong with a lot of expenses, so long as your profit margins remain healthy.But behind some of the doors I’ve been privy to, there have been many who make a million dollars a year, but are only profiting say 10% or 15% of it. In the course creation business model, that kinda sucks.I’d rather have a smaller, simpler business that puts $150k in my pocket every year than a giant company that stresses me out and pays me $100k a year. Bottom line: Gross revenue doesn’t really mean anything. Look beyond the click-bait number. Sure, we all want to make a million a year in revenue.I think it’s a great goal to shoot for. But I’m far more interested in growing a business that, although it may not look as “big” on paper, pays me a stellar salary so that I can live my version of a dream life outside of my business. When you get past the fancy, click-bait numbers, isn’t that exactly what you want too?Be realistic about the type of business you’re building and whether it’s in line with what you truly want. Oh and know that it's totally cool to be doing a bunch of random things to make cash, while you're building that "ideal" business.I've got an episode coming out next week all about the super weird gigs I've had that made me revenue, while I built up my course business.The list is long + hilarious!If online courses or group programs are part of that future for you, grab your seat for Online Course Prep School if you haven't already.(the 5-day free event I have coming up at the end of the month!)Register here:  https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/prepschoolSupport the show (https://thesweetestdigs.lpages.co/pp-webinar/)

Exciting announcement!Before I drop all the details, here’s the quick back story. You know I’m the gal who turns creative entrepreneurs into successful course creators.I work with 1:1 service providers, coaches, creatives, content creators, and other entrepreneurs to take what they know and launch courses, group programs and digital offers.But what happens if you don’t have a clear idea yet on what your course should be about?What if you are worried that your audience isn’t big enough yet?What if you don’t have the first clue about where to really start? I know that jamming everything into a 1-hour webinar really isn’t enough (and my #CourseClass webinar I have now mostly assumes you have a grasp on your course topic and audience). So I decided to address these foundational concepts in a brand new LIVE event for anyone who is thinking about launching a course.Introducing… Online Course Prep School: Define your profitable program idea, map out your offer, and jumpstart your waitlist … in just 5 daysRegister here: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/prepschool5 days. Live training. A pop-up community.And a ton of clarity on how to move forward with your idea and get it launched.When I started mapping this whole event out, I decided to charge for it. I wanted it to attract just the action-takers. The ones who are serious about learning, implementing, and launching something in 2021. Even if it was a small investment - like $19 - I was planning on making it paid.But then guess what? We went back into a “stay at home” order here in Ontario (so the 2 days/week my kids were in forest school disappeared) and I had to make my life as EASY as possible again.Which meant that building out a sales page, a checkout process, and doing all of the work to make a paid event happen went out the window. So what does that mean for you? It means that I’m still going ahead with the whole event but making it F-R-E-E. So take advantage! (In the future I’ll probably run this again as a paid event… so this is the time to hop in!) If you know that your current business model isn’t creating the freedom, growth, or revenue you’re capable of...If you know that there’s a little voice telling you you’re meant for more...If you are ready to branch out from what you’ve always done and step into a new role as a teacher and mentor… … then go save your seat at Online Course Prep School. Snag your spot here: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/prepschoolSupport the show (https://thesweetestdigs.lpages.co/pp-webinar/)

Today I want to talk about offers -the products, programs, and things we create to sell to our audience. Sometimes creating an offer seems overwhelming and we don’t know where to start.Other times we’ve created something already, but it might not be hitting the mark quite right and it needs a makeover.As a course creator or digital product entrepreneur, it all comes down to the offer. Whether it’s a course, a group program, a mini product… we need to get that part right in order for the money to flow. There are 3 important lessons that go into creating great, sell-able offers.The kind of offers that end up as the best-in-market for their niche.They are things that I have learned in my 5+ years of selling courses and after working with hundreds of students on offer creation.This is nothing about bonus stacks, or copywriting, or marketing hacks…To learn what they are (and how we can learn some serious lessons from Shark Tank) tune in to this week’s episode of the podcast. ------If you want to learn how to launch your first course, sign up for a seat at my free training #CourseClass to learn how I went from $0 to $500k/year with digital courses: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/course-class  If you’re already a course creator ready to scale and go evergreen, join our membership community to learn how at https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/passiveproject Not sure what tech platform to use for your course?

There is something that has been coming up over and over again with my students and clients who want to create and launch online courses, and I need to address it today.It’s a theme - a pattern - that keeps showing up and I know it is holding so many people back. Maybe even you. Today I want to share what it is, and what you can do about it to make sure it doesn’t keep you stuck. Over the last few months I have been doing a ton of 1:1 coaching calls with new clients and students who want to launch their first course, and there is this one thing that keeps coming up. And it’s over planning. It’s analysis paralysis. It’s filling your wall with sticky notes, but then hesitating on turning them into an offer. It’s mapping out your course modules and lessons over and over again, but not moving beyond that.The idea that things need to be perfect first. Or that you need a bigger audience. Or that there is going to be some sign from the Universe that will tell you it’s the right moment to put your idea out there.But actually → It’s all fear. That perfect moment is never going to happen. It’s going to feel scary. It’s supposed to. So I want you to use this as your sign to RIP OFF THE BANDAID. It’s time to put your idea, that little voice inside your head, that course you’ve been humming and hawing about, to finally put it out there.Want to learn more about how to launch your first course and how I went from $0 to $500K a year with digital courses → click the link to sign up for my FREE COURSE CLASS.
