Meet Pete: Building Scalable Income From Non-Profit Sector Expertise
Pete runs a small bookkeeping business providing financial services to the non-profit (charity) sector. With years of experience working in the this sector, he recognized that many good people doing bookkeeping work were self-taught and would hugely benefit from specialized training.
He wanted to create an online non-profit-specific bookkeeping course to help these professionals build confidence and excel in their finance team roles. But despite having people ask him to develop the course for three years, he struggled with how to structure it, design it, deliver it, and market it effectively.
We worked together to transform his course idea into reality, helping him process his ideas, set out his course content, determine the method of delivery, and establish proper pricing - all while maintaining his authentic style and voice.
Problem:
Had a great course idea for 3 years but couldn't get traction. Didn't know how to structure, design, deliver, or market a charity-specific bookkeeping course despite people asking for it.
Solution:
Worked together to process his course ideas, structure the content, determine delivery method, and establish pricing strategy while maintaining his authentic teaching style.
Did it work?
Pete launched his first live cohort and sold 9 out of 10 places, generating over ($5,500) ÂŁ4,000 in revenue. But the real success is in the transformation he's providing to charity sector bookkeepers who were previously self-taught and needed specialized training.
The course fills a genuine gap in the market - providing non-profit-specific bookkeeping training that builds confidence and skills for people working in finance team roles across the sector.
Additionally, Pete's ready to scale now to turn that initial income into regular monthly sales with an evergreen course!
"Bringing Simon on board has been one of the best decisions that I've made. Paying for his services was such a good investment in my business and it's really paid off itself already. The method Simon has coached me in on this course really do work, and all I can say is I highly recommend him." - Pete
