How are things going at home for you?? We have gotten into a pretty decent routine here.

I work from 6am to 9am every day uninterrupted and then am done for the day so I can hang with the kids.

On Tuesday and Thursdays only, I have client and coaching calls here and there throughout the day. Which is when my kids get a little extra screen time 😉. The whole thing actually isn't going too badly. And is making me re-evaluate allllll the tasks I usually do when I have more work time. A lot of stuff is getting either slashed or systematized.

What's your new routine looking like? Anything working especially well for you?? 👇

Ever wonder what a 1:1 business coaching session looks like? ⁠
⁠
In this week’s podcast episode I’m taking you behind the scenes. I recently sat down with a long-time friend of mine, Denise. ⁠
⁠
Denise is a University Professor and after having her own babies, she became obsessed with the science of sleep. ⁠
⁠
She started doing all the reading. All the research. Trying different strategies. And became a go-to expert for so many of her friends, family, and community. ⁠
⁠
She has since started her own online business, called There’s a Monster In My Closet, where she educates parents on how to understand sleep patterns and behaviors in their kids. She monetizes her business with physical products, consulting services, and now an online course.⁠
⁠
In this one-on-one coaching call, she and I sat down to talk about the new course she’s about to launch. We talked through some of her fears, the marketing strategies and messaging she’ll be using, how to build her audience, and a lot more.⁠
⁠
If you want to be a fly on the wall during a conversation like this, this is a do not miss episode!
⁠
It’s a little longer than our usual ones, but you are going to walk away with a ton of insight that you can apply to your own digital product business. ⁠
⁠
Alright - go to the link in my bio and hit play on that conversation...⁠

This is better than the first season of Love is Bl

This is better than the first season of Love is Blind (don’t pretend you weren’t obsessed). At some point, you've probably heard me say that... Your email list is your ticket to profitability as an online business owner

You should spend time on list-building and list-nurturing instead of finding the perfect latest IG filter

Follower counts don’t matter, but an engaged email list does

Sounds like me, huh?

Well, if you’ve been like "Yeah Gemma, I know… but HOWWWWW?"... then I want you to head over and check out Build Your List Bootcamp.

You can get in for $200 OFF the program right now.

There is also a payment plan to make it easier for you to hop in.

BYLB takes you through EXACTLY how to grow your email list using collaborations and visibility.

My signature method makes it SIMPLE to get new email subscribers by leveraging other people’s audiences, so you can finally grow that list and sell your own digital offers with ease.

It's a 6-module course with video lessons, a sh*t ton of usable templates, workbooks, spreadsheets, and swipe files in google docs, and some epic bonuses.

You know, typical "Gemma over-delivers" style.

Head to sales page (link in bio!) for all the deets! 😎

"How do I send a pitch that will get read and resp

"How do I send a pitch that will get read and responded to?"⁠
⁠
There is definitely an art to pitching.⁠
⁠
I get dozens of emails in my inbox every single week with pitches. For sponsored posts, podcast guests, and frankly, weird random stuff.⁠
⁠
Very few of those pitches are well written. Probably like 1%.⁠
⁠
One of the biggest mistakes I see people making when it comes to pitching is spending way too much time talking about themselves. Like they need to prove their worth before I would consider partnering with them on something.⁠
⁠
But truthfully...⁠
⁠
The size of your audience, how long you've been doing this, the past podcasts you've been on, none of that really matters when you've crafted a pitch in the right way.⁠
⁠
I have had success in pitching myself for podcasts, for lead magnet swaps, for speaking engagements, for online summits, and for article features even without a big audience. The first time I gave a talk at a conference about business and marketing, I hadn't even created gemmabonhamcarter.com yet.⁠
⁠
Heck, I still don't have that the 10k instagram followers that seems to be a random benchmark of "making it".⁠
⁠
(In all honesty, I'd love to get my biz to a million in revenue BEFORE hitting that 10k to prove that we don't actually need social media!!)⁠
⁠
Today, I want you to learn the behind the scenes secrets to creating one of those killer pitches.⁠

👇🔥 TRUTH BOMBS today.⁠ ⁠ In the beginnin

👇🔥 TRUTH BOMBS today.⁠
⁠
In the beginning of 2019, I was pretty much 100% reliant on paid ads to generate new leads for me. I was a LAZY marketer.⁠
⁠
I was focusing on crafting new programs (The Passive Project, mostly) and didn’t have time to drive organic leads.⁠
⁠
But I knew that my profit margins were going to take a big hit if I left it like that forever. Ads ain’t free, yo!⁠
⁠
So around July I started pitching collaborations. Obvious things (podcast interviews) and not-so-obvious things (lead magnet swaps) that I had a feeling could result in some good list-building traction.⁠
⁠
It was a test. It wasn’t something I had seen other "gurus" really talk about, so I really didn’t know if it would work.⁠
⁠
It was around the same time that I turned off a lot of my facebook ads. I still used ads for my live launches and then in the Fall layered in ads for my new "mini offer", 52Prompts, but the pure list-building ads I had been running to lead magnets got axed.⁠
⁠
I expected my list-growth to majorly slow down.⁠
⁠
But it didn’t.⁠
⁠
Thanks to the pitching and collab system I had put in place, I was gaining visibility, got in front of other people’s audiences, and my email list continued to grow.⁠
⁠
Here’s the thing... when someone gets referred to your business and decides to opt in, there is a built-in level of trust already there. They usually are the ones who open your emails, turn into your VIP, and eventually buy waaaay more easily than leads from ads.⁠
⁠
I quickly realized how crazy EFFECTIVE this strategy is and couldn’t wait to get more intentional and doing more of it.⁠
⁠
Make sure you check out my video that's all about the five collaboration types that ACTUALLY grow your email list!⁠ link is in my bio.
