Digital Course Academy Success Story
Stacey Devine M.D.
“I went from having no idea about what topic to choose for my course to making $12,000 with my very first launch! I NEVER thought this could be possible with all the restrictions around medical practice, but I figured it out and did it!”
Results are not guaranteed. Please see earnings disclaimer for more detail.
I have been practicing as an integrative family physician since 2017. And even though I have my own solo practice, I kept hearing this little voice inside of me saying…
“You need to do more. You need to have a wider impact!”
So when COVID happened — and my business got hit pretty badly — I decided that THIS was the perfect time to pivot to another business model.
In the past, I had been pretty hesitant to do anything like this because of the legal restrictions surrounding physicians giving medical advice to people outside their state.
But since I was very determined to get my new business going, I decided not to let these restrictions stop me any longer. Instead, I was determined to figure out a way around them.
(You know, as the old saying goes — where there’s a will, there’s a way!)
So when I found out about Digital Course Academy and that it had opened for enrollment, I immediately signed up.
(You see, I discovered that if my expertise is packaged in a course format, I’d be compliant with the restrictions. So a course is actually a perfect business model for me!)
I still wasn’t sure what my course topic was going to be…
Yet I kept going through the modules — and especially spent A LOTTTTT of time on Module 1.
That’s when I had an instant light-bulb moment.
You see, I had a follow-up with one of my patients with breast cancer.
(I had been providing her survivorship care because she wasn’t getting answers from her oncologist.)
And after listening to her share with me how I helped her thrive during one of the most challenging moments of her life, and seeing how many friends she wanted to refer to me that I couldn’t help — because of these legal restrictions — I decided that THIS was the space I wanted to launch my course in.
I wanted to help women thrive after breast cancer no matter where they lived, and with a course, I could do that!
So that’s how my course, Thriving After Breast Cancer™, came into existence!
I followed everything exactly as Amy laid out in the course and launched it in May 2021.
First, my list grew from just 141 people to 2,027 subscribers.
Then I launched my course.
The boost in subscribers gave me the following I needed to have a healthy first launch — totaling $12,789.00 in revenue!
And more importantly, I can now help women all over the world!
Thank you so much, Amy… and thank you, Team Porterfield, for putting this course in such an easy-to-follow format!
I don’t think I’d have been able to do it if it weren’t for this Digital Course Academy!
