Digital Course Academy Success Story
Gwen Lane Founder, The Spark School
“I make $40K per month online because I took Digital Course Academy®️!”
Results are not guaranteed. Please see earnings disclaimer for more detail.
I started a lifestyle and travel blog on the side when I was working a corporate job. Two and a half years later, that little side project had become a 6-figure influencer and content creator business.
When people started asking me how I did it, I wanted to teach them. So, I did a live event in my backyard. Ten people came, yet I knew that model wasn’t sustainable. So, I decided to create some sort of digital course. That’s how I found Amy Porterfield.
When I discovered Digital Course Academy®️, I knew it was exactly what I needed. Amy has the best course creation system. She really cares about quality. She’s all about outlining, being detailed, and actually going through the process.
I’ve taken a lot of online courses, and she has the most comprehensive guide on creating a course. I still go back to Amy’s worksheets because no one else’s courses really compare.
I have 3 courses that I offer right now, but I offer them in my membership, The Spark Society. Here’s why I ended up setting up my course business this way: In DCA, Amy walks you through how to figure out who your ideal customer avatar is, and I quickly realized mine wouldn’t want to invest in a high-ticket course. So, I decided to offer all of my courses inside my membership. Most of my members end up staying in the program, so their lifetime value is close to $400!
Right now, we are making about $40,000 a month from the membership, and my husband is my business partner. When we started dating, I was just starting the blog, and now he is the COO!
In the last two years I’ve also been able to build a team. I have two full-time people now working under me. Hiring a team is fulfilling for me, and the truth is that I love being the boss.
I’m happier now not having to work for anyone else. I can take days off and move things around if needed. I have all of this freedom. AND I’m helping women build their dream businesses.
Amy and DCA made all of this possible, and I’m so thankful for how much my life has changed.

If committing to creating and launching a course feels equivalent to climbing Kilimanjaro, listen up…
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
