email marketing strategy

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!

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!

Thinking about using AI to create your content? Already using ChatGPT to help you with social media captions? 

I get it - it’s a useful tool for sure.

But before you go any further, tune in to this episode to hear how to think about your content strategy so you can stand out. 

Because with AI tools will come more creators, more content, and more noise.

You’ll need to know how to differentiate yourself in order to grow an audience, captivate them, and make the sale.

I saw an ad recently that claimed you could “Create a course in 5 minutes using AI”.

Sure, you could theoretically do that. 

• But would it sell? 
• Would it be a transformation program for your students? 
• Would it be a leverageable asset in your business you could sustainably scale to 6-figures or more a year? 

Absolutely NOT. 

Tune in to this episode to hear my take on this bogus clickbait claim, what DOES make a course successful, and how I think we CAN leverage AI in an effective way. 

This is a short and juicy episode. Click ‘listen’ now!

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.

Here’s the article where she makes the announcement: https://vanessalau.co/sabbatical/ 

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.

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.

Today, we're chatting with one of our Passive Project Members: Daniel Wallace.

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!"

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. "

Today, we're chatting with one of our Passive Project Members: Cheryl Rerick. 

Cheryl is a business strategist, automation engineer, deliverability expert, and funnels pro. She brings the magic of automation to coaches and course creators so they can live their lives away from the tyranny of tiny screens.

In this episode, she is sharing all things email marketing and tagging strategies for email automations.

Let's no forget some kind words she had to say about her experience inside of The Passive Project:

"I've been in The Passive Project since 2019. I love Gemma's content and strategies, but I have stayed for the community. It's such a high-level group that I can go to for feedback and connections. The partnerships and collaborations that have happened thanks to being in the community are such a win."
