Funnel Series #10

Ever had a launch that didn’t quite hit the mark? Sometimes other factors can throw things off, but that’s where evergreen funnels come in. These powerful tools help create consistent revenue streams, aligning perfectly with your client’s ultimate goal: building a funnel that generates income around the clock.

Of course, it’s not entirely passive—my guest Gemma Bonham Carter (I call her the Funnel Queen) dives into the effort involved in setting up and maintaining a successful evergreen funnel. Gemma is a trusted expert helping entrepreneurs build lifestyle-first online course businesses for greater flexibility and balance. Since founding her company in 2017, she’s grown it into a 7-figure business. Known for her expertise in online courses, email marketing, and AI, Gemma has guided over 15,000 students and hosts The Course Creator Show podcast and the AI Unlocked Summit.
