Hi, I'm Salome

I get asked about Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy so often that I thought I’d create this FAQs page for you in case you had some questions too. Here you'll find Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy: FAQs Answered. 

This year, just like every year, we would love to share Digital Course Academy with all the FREEDOM EMPIRE builders here in our community. 

Digital Course Academy (and every other course Amy Porterfield sells) has been hands down the best investment I’ve made in my online marketing education. 

So if you’ve ever wondered about Amy or Digital Course Academy, grab your Almond Latte and read our list of most frequently asked questions right here…

Can Anyone Be A Course Creator?

Yes, if you have a skill, a talent or an experience that you can share with someone else to help them, then you can create an online course. 

People are always looking to learn something useful, implement something helpful or overcome something that challenges them, and your course may just be the answer they are currently searching for on Google.  

Can I Create A Course Without Any Prior Experience With Digital Marketing?

Yes! Most course creators start out with expertise in an area that has nothing to do with marketing. Marketing is a skill anyone can learn with the right teacher and the right support. You'll be able to learn this skill just like you learned to ride a bike or tie your shoelaces. 

Can You Start Your Business With A Course?

Yes! That’s the best part. Right now, there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people in the world looking for solutions to problems you’ve already solved. 

When you learn how to build an audience and you know how to offer your course to them in a heart-centered way that serves them, they’ll flock to you and buy your course because they love you and want to learn from you. 

Online education is set to become a 1$ Trillion industry before 2027, so you have a unique opportunity to be on the frontlines of this booming industry. 

Is Digital Course Academy Suitable For All Niches?

Yes, as long as there are people online looking for that solution, then your course has a market and your niche will succeed. 

As long as you have a hungry crowd, you’ll have buyers for your course.

There Are So Many Courses Already, Why Will Anyone Want Mine?

Yes, there are a lot of online courses in most niches available right now. 

But, none of those people have your heart, and your personality, and can connect with people in the same way you do. 

Just like there was room for Ellen after the Oprah show, there is room for you in your niche because people want YOU!

Why You Shouldn’t Create A Course

Because all you want to do is sit on a tropical island sipping Pina Coladas and do nothing, while the money rolls into your bank account. 

It is a lie.

Just like everything else in life, your success in online course marketing will be so much sweeter because you worked for it. 

Will Digital Course Academy Teach Me How To Launch My Course?

Yes. Digital Course Academy teaches you exactly how to outline the content of your course, create the material and then market your course using a webinar launch formula. 

The way Amy teaches marketing makes it so easy to understand and you can implement step-by-step as you follow along in the program. 

Will Digital Course Academy Help Me Answer These Questions?

  • How to pick a name for my course? Yes! 
  • How to choose the right topic for my digital course? Yes! 
  • How to test my offer so that I know people will pay for my course? Yes! 
  • The right way to price my course? Yes!
  • How to build an email list to sell my course to? Yes!
  • How to fill up my webinar with people who will buy my course? Yes
  • How to use social media and email marketing to build my audience before I launch? Yes!  

How Long Do I Have Access To The Digital Course Academy Course Content?

You get lifetime access to Digital Course Academy so you can go over the content as many times as you wish and complete the course in your own time. 

Does Digital Course Academy Include Videos, Audio-Files, Transcripts And/Or Worksheets?

Yes. Digital Course Academy includes all the modalities you need to learn. If you prefer to learn by watching a video, you have video lessons or if you just want to read the content, you have access to well designed transcripts and worksheets that will help you make progress faster. 

What Kind Of Support Do You Get With The Course?

You’ll have 9 weeks of live support from Amy and her team. During the 9 weeks you’ll get access to regular Q&A calls as well as an incredibly supportive Facebook™ group that is possibly one of the most supportive groups I’ve been a part of before starting The Launch Lounge™. 

Is Digital Course Academy Worth The Investment?

It is worth every single dollar and more! And just like anything else that is new to you, you’ll have to put in the work to see the results. It may take more than 9 weeks to start seeing real results, so be prepared to work hard to learn for 9 weeks and then to build your course and your launch for another 2-3 months. 

What Is Amy Porterfield’s Refund Policy For Digital Course Academy? 

Amy offers a full refund up to 14 days after purchasing the course. 

When Does The Course Start?

The course officially kicks off the first week of October in 2023. 

To kickstart your progress I recommend you start by signing up for the Course Confident: A Digital Course Creation Bootcamp that begins on September 13th.
