Small list, big revenue: Jan Ditchfield's path to digital course success
Ever found yourself thinking you don't have enough time, money, credibility, or a large enough audience to create a successful digital course? Well, you're not alone.
Over the years I’ve found that many of my Digital Course Academy students started off feeling this way — but still go on to create wildly successful digital courses.
One of these students is Jan Ditchfield, a former award-winning fundraiser and revenue generation strategist. Burnt out from being told what to do at her 9 to 5, she took a leap of faith and ventured into the world of entrepreneurship and digital courses.
What I love about her story is that Jan had a small email list and small social media following – yet she managed to rake in an impressive $18,425 from 29 enrollments — completely ad-free – in her very first launch.
Since joining Digital Course Academy, Jan's journey has led her to over $145,000 in revenue, and she's well on her way to a multiple 6-figure business. How incredible is that?
In this episode, you’re going to hear more about Jan’s story, and how she blew the idea that you need a massive email list to achieve substantial revenue completely out of the water.
Jan’s journey is sure to leave you inspired! As you listen, I hope you start dreaming big, and consider the immense potential your small email list holds.
