I wanna help you share your stuff all over the internet.
Scroll to explore my vision…
Blooming Bosses is your all-in-one resource for cultivating the tech, systems, and marketing essentials that support business success.
Let me introduce you to the two aspects of the membership; The Marketplace and The Content…
You have a new offering so we load it up to Blooming Bosses and share it live on the marketplace.
Then we tell everyone all about it through all of our marketing channels (FB, IG, Email, Pinterest and we all tell our friends about Blooming Bosses)
You add a masterclass to the membership and link it back to your offerings and get new customers and people on your list.
You get involved in a Blooming Boss bundle or collaboration and your audience grows so you have more people to sell to.
You join the BB affiliate program and earn some extra recurring income. It’s 40% so you’ll probably make your membership back and more.
You grow, we all grow.
But… hold up… there’s more…
I’m throwing in a ton of templates, trainings, tools and access to my tech nerd brain with on hand tutorials and support.
Plus so many more planners, journals and templates that make business easier.
I’ll be adding more things as I create new trainings and resources.
Ok, great! Tell me more about the Marketplace…
The Blooming Bosses Marketplace is packed with offers for & by online businesses.
You can find courses, group programs, digital products, DFY services and podcasts by Coaches, Marketing Strategists, Copywriters, Virtual Assistants and a ton more (and of course, you!)

Who is Membership for?
The Blooming Bosses Membership is for anyone who runs a business and is looking for marketing & tech support.
The marketplace is more specifically aimed at mostly for B2B businesses but having said that there is definitely room for B2C businesses too. Click the green toggle to read my thoughts on this.
So, if you think about it like this… If your business does anything to help other businesses in any way, the marketplace is for you.
Think Coaches, Copywriters, Finance and legal businesses, Marketing Strategists, Social Media Managers, Systems and Sales people, Virtual Assistants, Authors, Website Designers, product-based businesses and Health & Wellbeing businesses.
Is the marketplace only for B2B?
Yes and no. The Blooming Bosses Marketplace aims to be the place to find support for your business however, whilst I believe we should be able to have that space to separate ourselves from our businesses, for a lot of us, we are our businesses. We are the thing that makes our businesses tick, and for us to tick we need other types of support to help us grow so that our business can be watered to.
With this in mind, businesses that are B2C (Business to Customer) are welcome. People who own businesses are customers too 😉

Why send your Tech & Marketing questions my way…
Hey, I’m Gem, the web, systems and planner nerd behind Create & Bloom. I work with creative business owners and entrepreneurs to craft, develop and crystallize an online presence and voice for their products and services as well as going deep into integrating systems to make their businesses run smoother.
I have been working in marketing, graphic design, building websites and creating wild integrations and sytems since 2013 – I am totally self-taught and I love helping creative business owners make their products and services shine with tech.
Online business is a wonderful world of possibility but you need the setup and systems that get the job done with ease and without the overwhelm.
I absolutely love figuring out complex tech and making ideas come to life for my clients.
What my clients say about my tech and marketing expertise…
Working with Gemma has changed my business so much! I feel really supported. She is just so efficient and organised, I love how quickly she gets stuff done and how she can spot any other things I might not have thought of.
I also love that she has such a wide range of skills and can turn her hand to using all of the tech stuff I have in place in my business.
– Laura Agar Wilson, Wholeheartedly Laura
I don’t even know where to start! I’ve felt SO stuck for months and months now, like I haven’t been able to make progress in my own business and suddenly that has all changed! It’s like the capacity to get things done has 10x’d. I love having you to chat with about business ideas, as well as just life stuff. I love that you have ideas, suggestions and knowledge that makes my life so much easier. Being able to say something like, I want to add a tripwire to X and you just get it done is amazing.

FAQs
Do I get to keep access to the courses if I cancel my membership?
If you decide to cancel your membership access to any included courses will be removed.
Is the marketplace only for B2B?
Yes and no. The Blooming Bosses Marketplace aims to be the place to find support for your business however, whilst I believe we should be able to have that space to separate ourselves from our businesses, for a lot of us, we are our businesses. We are the thing that makes our businesses tick, and for us to tick we need other types of support to help us grow so that our business can be watered to.

Can we update our offers on the website to reflect sales/deals that we might be running?
Unfortunately, not. This would get very complicated to manage but we are looking at other ways we can promote any sales/deals you offer on your products and services.
This doesn’t mean to say that you can’t go ahead and run a deal on the sales page that is linked. It’s nice bonus for anyone who lands on your website based on the price they see on Blooming Bosses. However, if you change the price of an offer permanently, please let us know here so that we can update it for you.
However, I want you to be able to share the shit out of your offers and sales too, so, if you have a sale or big offer going on, let us know because we’ll be all over sharing it to our list and on social media.
Direct message me on here if you have something new launching or a deal of something you offer that you would love us to promote to our email list or on social media etc.
How many offerings can I list on the website?
How are we making all of this accessible?
Marketplace
We’re working on making all current listings accessible with Alt text images and clear product descriptions and layouts. Any new produccts that are added som
We also have accessibility filters on the marketplace so you can filter by Audio Included, Closed Captions, Detailed notes included, Printed format available and Transcription available.
Tech VA in Your Pocket Tutorials
Every video will always have Closed Captions and video playback speed adjustment feature.
I’m also planning to pull off transcriptions from the videos and put them into PDF format.
If you request some support and need other options outside of this, please let me know. I want to support you in anyway I can.
Feel free to message me if you have ideas for how I can improve accessibilty for you.
What kind of collaborations do you do?
Every year, members will have the opprtunity to get involved in The Making it Bloom Bundle and The Blooming Good Gift Guide as featured contributors.
Other collaborations that we host, support and encourage include freebie swaps, affiliate promos, guest podcasting, and various audience sharing collaborations.
Other bundles will pop up through the year and hosting a Blooming Bosses Summit is something that I would absolutely love to do.
