Digital Course Academy Success Story
Amber Petty Owner of Amber Petty
“In my first year as a course creator, I have DOUBLED what I was earning in my previous full-time job!”
Results are not guaranteed. Please see earnings disclaimer for more detail.
When I first heard about Digital Course Academy, I was just getting started with doing one-on-one coaching to serve television performers, actors, and creatives by teaching them how to supplement their incomes with freelance writing.
And even though DCA was really speaking to me… it also scared me a bit too.
(I just didn’t think I had enough experience to create my own course yet.)
The truth was, I was more tired of putting my time and energy into growing someone else’s business than I was scared. (True freedom comes from working for yourself — that’s the dream, right?)
And that was my big inspiration for signing up for DCA!… Even though I still didn’t feel ready yet.
But Amy helped me to realize I was ready! (And my clients did too!)
I ran the idea by them of packaging my expertise into a course, and they went crazy for it! (That gave me a boost of confidence I needed!)
I loved how DCA broke down the process of creating and launching your own course in a step-by-step way that felt easy and doable. I always knew exactly what to do because of how Amy teaches the curriculum… and it shows!
When I started the program, I had an email list of 250 people. By the time I launched my course, I had grown my list to 1,000! (And now after a full year, my list is over 2,500 people!)
For my initial launch, I was worried about offering a course to the struggling actors who had not worked in a year (due to the pandemic). But they were ready for it!
On the first launch, I made $15,000.
So I kept going…
I launched 3 more times… and each launch consistently brought in over $30,000!
(That’s DOUBLE my initial launch!)
My grand total for the year is $105,000 in sales!
(That’s DOUBLE what I was earning at my full-time job!)
These financial wins gave me the confidence to finally quit that job — only 5 months after starting my own business!
Becoming a course creator hasn’t just been a win for me, my students are thriving because of it too.
It’s been so fun to watch them get their work published in Huffington Post, Thrillist, and all these big publications — and that’s all because of my course teaching people to create new streams of income through acting and writing.
It’s the best feeling!
I never thought I would achieve my goals as quickly as I did, but here I am with an amazing business and income because of DCA!
This program has truly been life-changing!
