Digital Course Academy Success Story
Krystal Proffitt Podcast Coach & Content Strategist
“If you want to create a course, and you think you will save money just doing it on your own… I am here to say: Invest in DCA and you will make back your investment many times over. You will also save yourself a ton of time and frustration!”

Right before I had my third baby, I became a stay-at-home mom – and just 3 years later I started my own podcast!
This new career gave me the pride and passion I never had working for someone else… and I wanted to create a digital course to share what I had learned.
I had been a huge fan of Amy for a while, so I felt I knew the basics of course creation from listening to her podcast, and thought… “Well, I can just do this on my own…”
But that idea gets a big “NOPE!” because my course did NOT sell well… AT ALL!
I knew the next smartest step I could take would be to sign up for Digital Course Academy. So I did!
Once I got into DCA, I immediately saw all the things I had done wrong in creating and launching my last course. From day 1, I knew I was in the right place with the format and structure I needed to create a profitable business as a course creator.
The webinar module alone has so many little key details that really make your launch successful. (I redo DCA every year just for THAT module!)
Another perk: You learn how to write better sales copy, which has translated to all parts of my business and marketing.
While I was creating and preparing to launch my course, I was also still dealing with a bad case of imposter syndrome.
“There are plenty more successful podcasters than me — who am I to try and get people to buy my course?”
But Amy becomes your own personal cheerleader and builds up your confidence! She shares her own stories of overcoming her imposter syndrome, which helps you to know that you aren’t alone. And there’s another beautiful benefit of a course I don’t often hear about:
I now find that most of my one-on-one clients are students that have taken my course.
Here’s why this has been such a wonderful thing for my business:
- My students are more prepared for private coaching because of their coursework.
- My students are more than willing to pay for private coaching because they know I am worth it! (Which has made selling my higher-ticket offer so much easier!)
- And with my success, I took some of my first $50,000 in course earnings and purchased a travel camper to take as many family trips as we can! And we’ve been able to create so many new family memories with the kids that I will cherish forever.
What I hope you will learn from my story is that if you know you want to create a course, and you are thinking you will just save money and do it on your own rather than investing in DCA…
Know this: Digital Course Academy is the better way!
Follow the steps, and you will make back your investment – many times over. AND you will save yourself a ton of time and frustration, too!
