In this episode of the Professional Creative Podcast, host Bonnie Christine interviews laser‑cutting experts Bail Ansari (owner of Just One More Project) and Liz Olson (founder of Bella Collective). Both are members of Bonnie’s Professional Creative Business Coaching (PCBC) program. They discuss how they each built individual courses for laser‑SVG file designers—Bail teaching beginner file design, Liz teaching how to scale an SVG store on Etsy—and decided to co‑launch a bundled offering. The conversation covers how they discovered the coaching program, the inspiration from Bonnie’s Immersion course, and the strategic decision to align their curricula. They detail their planning process, using Asana for task management, hiring out technical setup, payment processing, customer support, and a launch coach. Pricing was set at $497 per individual course and $697 for the bundle, resulting in 108 bundle purchases plus additional individual sales, generating roughly $45,000 in revenue. They reflect on challenges such as task overload during a summit, the importance of delegation, and the value of clear agreements and affiliate splits. Both attribute the success to the PCBC program’s resources, accountability pods, and Bonnie’s transparency about her own launches. They share advice for future collaborators—ensure audience and offer alignment, establish clear contracts, use project‑management tools, and highlight the partnership in marketing. Audience sizes are noted (Bail ~20k email list, Liz ~3k). Post‑launch, they reinvested in course improvements, paid off debt, and experienced personal and business confidence gains. The episode ends with promotion of the PCBC program and links to the guests’ sites.
