I used to hear my teacher colleagues talk about a helpful website called Teachers Pay Teachers. It’s a resource where teachers can purchase supplemental downloadable teaching resources from other teachers, to save them time.

And as a teacher who was looking for a side hustle while I was still in the classroom, it sounded like the perfect extra income stream… so I decided to give it a try!

I created my own printables, listed them for sale, and before I knew it, it became way too much to do both at the same time.

So I took a leap of faith, left teaching, and partnered with my husband (aka my “behind the scenes” man) to go ALL IN on my new business.

We never realized how much we would love being full-time entrepreneurs! But we do! So we had to keep going!

That’s when we made plans to expand, diversify, and reach more people. And that’s also when it was recommended to us that we listen to Amy’s podcast.

After hearing Amy talk about course creation for 2 whole years, we finally signed up for Digital Course Academy – with tons of excitement!

But then we found out I was pregnant, and I was terribly sick for most of the pregnancy. Needless to say, I wasn’t watching the DCA modules!

My beautiful son was born in Feb 2020, and then of course COVID happened. Teaching suddenly became something very different – with all new challenges.

When teachers started teaching virtually, we noticed that our customers who were purchasing our digital products were asking for support on ONE specific topic, again and again.

That’s when it became clear: “THIS is what our digital course needs to be about!”

So we dove headfirst, deep into DCA – this time with a renewed purpose.

Since we had no clue where to begin on creating a digital course, and I was a new mom with a lot on my plate – we just needed a program that would tell us exactly what to do step-by-step. And DCA is absolutely it!

We especially paid close attention to the webinar modules. With an email list of 65,000, we knew that the webinar would be the key to our success.

I won’t sugarcoat it – there were times where I felt defeated, like nothing I was working on was good enough. But when that happens, it’s Amy who keeps you going! She is so inspirational and gives you that boost you need to keep moving forward.

Our course “Math Intervention Masterclass” launched in June 2022, 3 years after purchasing DCA, but our big-time results made it worth the wait!

Our webinar achieved a whopping 45% conversion rate! (It was insane, in the absolute BEST way!)

We made over $33,000 in sales during our very first course launch!

PLUS, we sold another $5,000 worth of our products we already had in our store from all the buzz we generated during our course launch!

It’s because of DCA that we now have the skills and ability to reach more people, AND a new diverse way to keep our business growing.

We now have BIG PLANS to launch more courses so we can support our huge community of teachers. (That’s something that feels so good to me!)
