You're Invited To Become A Digital Course Academy Affiliate
SAVE THE DATE | 8/5 - 9/26, 2024!
Hey there!
All making their own rules and harnessing the power of digital courses to build businesses that allowed them the freedom to live as few can.
From then on, “freedom” was the idea I couldn’t shake.
After 14 years, plenty of failed attempts, and 8 successful digital courses, I’m bound and determined to help as many people as possible enjoy the same freedoms I’ve found through digital courses.
Enter → my signature program, Digital Course Academy.
14 YEARS AGO, I FOUND MYSELF SITTING IN A BOARDROOM WITH ALL MEN...
Over the years, I’ve developed a reputation for teaching things “action-by-action” and in everything I do, I aim to inspire confidence and action in anyone who trusts me inside one of my programs.
And I’m SO excited to shake things up for your community – in the greatest way – by introducing them to a life they never knew was possible…
And the guidance, support, & encouragement to make it ALL happen.
I’m Amy.
Helps online business owners and entrepreneurs turn their knowledge and know-how into a digital course that will generate consistent revenue for their business.
The program provides a step-by-step strategy for the entire course creation journey — from strategy to planning, to creation, to launching . . . with no fluff and no stone left unturned.
I only teach what I know works – because I’ve done it myself. I don’t assume my students already know anything. And I’m famous for my hand-holding.
As a team, we emphasize support, celebrate wins and troubleshoot with our students to ensure they get to the finish line.
Digital Course Academy is perfect for…
who have reached a very real ceiling and want to create time freedom and diversify their income streams
Service providers
who are underappreciated and underpaid, and know they were made for more
9-5 employees
who want to build an online business the smart way with a digital course (and sidestep the time-for-money trap of hourly rates & 1-1 clients)
Budding entrepreneurs
Course creators
who’ve been in the trenches with less than dreamy results to show for it, looking to amp up their marketing, student experience, and launch revenue
As an affiliate for Digital Course Academy, you’ll launch Digital Course Academy to the members of your audience – the ones that you know a digital course would be – well – life changing for.

HALF AND HALF.
With my team and I offering launch calendars, swipe copy, graphics, templates, freebies to share, a LIVE virtual community, planning meetings with Team Porterfield, and SO much more to help you succeed.

Let's Talk
Commission!

As I shared earlier, you’ll earn a 50% commission on every sale…
Which comes out to $998.50 on each Full Pay sale and $1,161 on each 6-Pay sale.
And while affiliate commission pay out is always fun, we like to turn the Fun Dial up about 10 degrees even before the cart opens!
We LOVE to hold contests and give away prizes to affiliates throughout the launch (above and beyond commissions) and – spoiler alert – you don’t need a gigantic list, blue check mark by your IG handle, or a ton of launch experience to win.
FUN, right?!

Frequently Asked Questions
By the end of the program you will:
- Finally nail down your course topic (instead of spending yet another year just thinking about it)
- Validate your program so you’re sure your audience is willing and excited to click “buy” before you invest your time and money into course creation.
- Expertly record and publish all of your course content (even if the tech piece seems completely foreign to you).
- Develop a high-converting webinar presentation and an irresistible offer your prospects will open up their wallets for!
- Leverage a mix of Facebook ads, email marketing, and Instagram to enroll a packed house of highly qualified prospects onto your webinars every. single. time.
- Craft a compelling sales page and post-webinar email funnel to amplify your course sales and convert even more of your hard-earned prospects.
- Implement a new student onboarding sequence to give your students the best possible chance at succeeding in your course (not to mention, dramatically cut down refund requests).
We'll be opening enrollment for DCA on September 20th. Make sure to sign up on our waitlist here to receive notifications and upcoming details on all of the upcoming Digital Course Academy announcements!
From there, you’ll be given access to one module per week so that you have ample time to dive into the lessons and execute that portion of the project plan BEFORE moving onto the next.
We do this to protect your time, attention and focus while sparing you from the intense overwhelm that stops most would-be course creators in their tracks.
However, DCA does not cover beginner list building if you’re just starting out. It is recommended you have at least some list building experience and a list of at least 100 people before you enroll. That way your list building foundation is set and you can hit the ground running when it’s time to sell your course.
If you are just getting started with your list building efforts, or your list size is less than 100 subscribers, we recommend starting with List Builders Society before jumping into DCA. We’d suggest registering for Amy’s (free!) list building masterclass to learn more. Click here to register.
If you’re just on the cusp of 100 and you have the foundation of list building squared away, then you will learn strategies to grow and nurture your list in DCA.
Who It's For
- A service provider, coach, or consultant who’s tired of hustling for clients every month or hitting a very real revenue ceiling (they haven’t invented human cloning yet and a course IS the next best thing).
- A brick and mortar business owner who’s word of the year is PIVOT and who’s realized diversified income streams are the only way to build resiliency in our current reality.
- A beginner business owner with a small but mighty audience of even just a few hundred people who are interested in learning from you.
- An entrepreneur who’s experimented with courses in the past but hasn’t quite mastered the art of high-converting webinars, marketing that works like magic, and streamlined systems that help your students feel loved and supported.
Your skills are needed. Your gifts are SO valuable. From photographers to teachers and everything in between — there is room for you at the table.
We recommend holding off on enrolling in DCA if any of the following describe your current stage of business:
- You don’t have an audience and have not started building your email list. DCA does not dive into beginner-level foundations of list-building, creating a lead magnet, and promoting your opt-in.
- You’re looking for a quick way to make money or immediate passive income. Digital course-creation is a lengthy process that’s only for entrepreneurs committed to the process of building a high-value digital course for their students. Put simply, you have to be willing to put in the work.
If you are just getting started with your list building efforts or your list size is less than 100 subscribers, we recommend committing time to work on your email list before jumping into DCA. We offer a separate list building course for those who are just starting out called List Builders Society. We’d suggest registering for Amy’s (free!) list building masterclass to learn more about the program. Click here to register.
Some of our best students came into our programs just beginning their online business journey. We’ve also had longtime “veterans” use our programs to FINALLY create a sustainable and automated income stream through digital courses and webinars. Resilience and perseverance are really the only common denominators between all our successful students.
Digital Course Academy makes NO assumptions of your current skill level as it relates to course creation. That’s why we completely map out the entire process of creating and selling a digital program A-Z.
Whether you’re somewhat new to the online world or you’ve been at this a while, the difference maker will ALWAYS be your willingness to stay the course, trust the process, and ask the questions needed to move you forward with confidence.
That being said, if you are a beginner entrepreneur, we recommend having an email list of at least 100 subscribers before jumping into the program. This is the best way to ensure you can hit the ground running within DCA and eventually sell your course to a sizable audience ready to buy
Don’t have at least 100 people on your list yet? Click here to register for Amy’s (free!) list building masterclass.
But more specifically, you can have a digital course in addition to your serving clients 1:1. If you want to keep working directly with clients, you’ll find you have much more freedom to choose how you work.
You can also just as easily have a business model where your digital course is the star of the show. It’s absolutely up to you.
Bottom line though, if you want to grow a business that “scales” without sacrificing your time, health, and well-being to do so, then DCA will show you exactly how to do it.
That said, you’ll be getting software recommendations for your course creation process. All of the tech recommendations are made based on ease of use and effectiveness.
To make sure tech is never an obstacle for you, you’ll get access to a complete tech library, giving you super detailed, step-by-step walkthroughs and time and money-saving hacks. The tech library covers everything from landing pages, to membership areas, to email sequences and so much more!
As long as you’re willing to put in the effort and follow along with the lessons, tech will NEVER be an obstacle for you inside of DCA.
Investment & Results
Creating and launching a digital course — especially for the first time — is a BIG endeavor. We want you to know that as a member of Digital Course Academy, you will have all of the support and the tools you'll need at your fingertips to successfully create and launch your own digital course.
If you're ready to create and launch your own digital course, get excited! Your investment in DCA gets you access to a full support system and a complete toolkit to get you creating and taking powerful action!
If, after 14 days of working through the first 2 modules (which cover creating and validating your course idea), and you don’t feel totally motivated and confident in your ability to build and launch your course, simply reach out. Show us you’ve put in the work, and you’ll be eligible for a full refund. You can read the full details here.
We are NOT in the business of making false claims or delivering an incomplete program. Rest assured absolutely everything you need to create and market a profitable digital program is right here inside DCA.
To keep things simple and effective, we suggest Kajabi to all DCA students.
There are a few more optional tools we recommend. Check out the full list here and keep in mind —we try to recommend tools that cost less than what you’ll likely charge just one student for your future course.
Please see our earnings disclaimer for more details.
Time Commitment & Support
On average, we recommend allotting 3-5 hours every week to watching the course modules and implementing what you learn. Depending on which phase of the process you’re in, you may need to devote more or less time in a week to DCA.
Should you get behind, or encounter circumstances that take your attention away from DCA, remember that once you enroll you have lifetime access including all future updates to the core content of the program. Building a successful online business doesn’t happen overnight so we always support you in moving at your own pace.
DCA is designed specifically to keep you FULLY guided and supported in executing the exercises and projects on any given week. You get guidance and support from a team of like-minded creatives in a safe and encouraging environment.
Specifically, here’s what you'll have access to…
DCA Advisors
In effort to help support our students in the DCA group further, we have appointed 9 amazing advisors! These are some of Amy's star students that have been through her programs and know the content well!
Digital Course Academy Facebook Community
Our private, student-only Facebook community, is full of supportive go-getters who are on the same exact journey as you are. Meaning, you will always be able to find an answer to your question and you’ll get unstuck in a matter of minutes instead of days or weeks if you were to go at it alone.
Q&A Vault
Team Porterfield has worked hard at curating an extensive Q&A vault with answers to over 100 of the most frequently asked course and launch-related questions within each module.
Team Porterfield
We are here for you—always! If you're experiencing any technical issues or simply need a little extra support, just send us an email to support@amyporterfield.com and we'll take care of you as quickly as we can.
Immersing yourself in the collective energy of a motivated group of course creators working through the same process is something very special, which is why we’re so proud to support you as you move through this journey!
A Few More Things to Know
Communication is key in any relationship. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your why. What is your why? Why is this important to you, how do you see this changing your business and your life, and how are you going to get there?
Digital Course Academy is one of those investments that can really pay off if you stick with it—remember success doesn’t happen overnight but you’ll have everything you need to create a profitable digital course at your fingertips.
We’ve recently worked with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultant to rework all course materials inside DCA. We strive to always keep matters of diversity and representation at the forefront of what we do and recognize that this is an ongoing commitment that doesn’t stop here.
