Digital Course Academy Success Story
Anela Benavides CEO, Anela Benavides Photography
“With the magic of DCA, I created AND pre-sold my Beginner’s Photography Course to 18 founding members! Now I’m so excited for my next course launch and to reach my goal of $50,000!”
Results are not guaranteed. Please see earnings disclaimer for more detail.
When I dropped out of college at 19 to pursue photography, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. But I took a leap of faith and started my business anyway.
Those days were tough, and it took A LOT of YouTube videos and Googling to figure it out.
With hard work and dedication, my business became very successful and I gained a steady flow of client work.
Looking back at those early days of my career, I wish there had been some kind of course to teach me the basics of starting a photography business… Because what I discovered is that it’s NOT just about taking photos.
There’s marketing, contracts, editing, client care, and even legal issues that need to be learned.
That’s when I realized I wanted to create an affordable course to teach other busy “mompreneurs” like me EXACTLY how to transform their photography hobby into a legitimate business. This course would give them the confidence they need to hit the ground running with a steady book of new clients!
After hearing about Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy on Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger podcast, I jumped at the opportunity.
Amy provided the structure and foundation I needed to launch a successful online course. She showed me exactly what to do and in what order. Without this guided direction, I wouldn’t have achieved the results I did out of the gate.
When I first started DCA, I had ZERO people on my email list… but within 2 short months I grew it 200! And after that, I created AND pre-sold my Beginner’s Photography Course to 18 founding members! I’ve kept at it, and my list is now at 3,400 subscribers and growing every day!
With my live launch coming up soon, I feel excited and confident to reach my 2021 goal of 200 students and $50,000 from my course!
If you’re on the fence about buying DCA… don’t think twice about it! The earning potential makes it WELL worth it.
I can’t thank Amy enough for everything she’s done for me and my family. I finally have a source of passive income and have more time to spend with the people I love the most! Thank you SOO much, Amy!

Every journey starts with one step. If the questions “who am I to create a course?” or “where do I even start?” are coming up for you, know that they came up for every single successful course creator you see on this page.
Whether you’ve never owned a business before, you have no idea what your course would be about, or you’re totally allergic to tech — we ALL start somewhere. What matters most is your willingness to put one foot in front of the other.
Each of these course creators started with one thing: THE COURAGE TO TRY
