It is such an incredibleexperience.
If you're even consideringdoing digital courses or
creating digital courses, you'regoing to want to see what this
is like.
I mean, this is like beyondanything you can imagine.
It's not your typical webinar,it's not your typical
masterclass.
It is like it's crazy.
(01:57):
It is so crazy.
I absolutely love it.
I think it's so fun.
Last year I went and I cried,so it's very exciting.
But inside of this experience,inside of this masterclass, amy
will be inviting you intoDigital Course Academy and it's
a special place to be, and Iwanted to share a little bit
about what that is and what thatmeans.
(02:19):
And I also want you to knowthat I have some bonuses.
I have some bonuses if youdecide to join DCA and you
decide to join through meBecause, as you know, I am a
proud partner.
I'm a proud affiliate partnerwith Amy and I have been for
like the last six years.
It's been quite a journey and,honestly, it's one that I think
(02:41):
is coming to an end.
That is my intention for thisyear, that this is going to be
my last year, and I'm a littlebit sad about that.
I'm also really excited aboutthe group of teachers and
teacherpreneurs that's going tojoin me inside and what we're
going to do.
One of them is going to be fromlast year.
She wanted to come back andparticipate because she said
(03:02):
this group was just so helpfulto her last year.
So I'm excited to have her backand it's going to be.
It's going to be an excitingjourney.
But I think that I need to.
I think I need to like startputting myself in like a sole
focus and not splitting myselfall over the place and these
crazy different directions thatI'm constantly going in, and I
(03:25):
want to.
I want to be a little bit moreintentional about what I'm doing
and how I'm showing up and allthose good things.
So I, yeah, I'm excited.
I'll talk more about that, likelater on next week and yes, so
in the meantime, I wanted toshare something really special
(03:45):
that happened before we jump.
Actually, I'll wait till theend, so you can wait till the
end to hear that little part,because it was a really cool
little thing that happened andjust another example of how
really great she is.
All right.
So today we're going to listento a little message from Amy
herself and she's going to talkto us about digital courses.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, hey there.
Thanks so much for having me.
So, like you said, I've spentthe last 15 years creating and
selling digital courses, whichis now the number one revenue
generator in my $100 milliononline business which feels wild
for me to even say.
But I've had the privilege ofhelping more than 90,000
(04:29):
entrepreneurs create and launchdigital courses to grow their
business, and I'm going to sharea lot in this episode about
digital courses who makes them,who's successful with them, what
they teach, what they charge,and so much more.
But if I could sum it all up inone statement, I believe to my
(04:50):
core that a digital course isthe single most powerful and
strategic way to make an impactin the world, while growing your
income and freedom tolife-changing levels.
But with all of my experienceworking with course creators
literally tens of thousands ofthem I can tell you that there's
(05:16):
one thing that stops peoplefrom getting started and seeing
real, genuine success.
Can you guess what it is?
It's overwhelm.
Overwhelm of not knowing whereto start.
Overwhelm of not knowing whereto start, overwhelm of not
knowing what to teach, overwhelmabout the technical areas of
creating and launching yourcourse and, especially, the
overwhelm of that feeling I amnot enough, I'm not expert
(05:41):
enough, I'm not unique enough,I'm not prepared enough the list
goes on and on.
If you've been even a littlecurious to know whether or not
you could create a digitalcourse, but you have some, or
maybe all of these fears that Imentioned.
If these fears are stopping you, stay with me, if you're okay
(06:03):
with it.
I want to jump right into thisfirst idea.
I'm so overwhelmed by all thethings.
I don't even know where tostart that one, let's talk about
it.
This is like quicksand forevery entrepreneur A looming
mountain of tasks between you,tasks you don't even know what
they are yet.
Between you and that vision youhave to create this profitable
(06:26):
digital course, thatoverwhelming feeling will suck
you right in and make sure yougo nowhere.
So here's what I want toencourage you to think about.
You don't need to have all theanswers.
You just need to commit foryourself and your business and
(06:46):
take the best next step.
I'm going to share someexamples of what it looks like
to take the next best step, oneat a time in a second here.
But again, I believe to my corethat a digital course is the
single most powerful andstrategic way to make an impact
in the world and grow yourincome without locking yourself
(07:06):
into trading time for money.
So please don't let the fear ofnot knowing where to start or
what next step to take be thething that stops you.
I want to tell you about one ofmy students, corinne Gerhart.
So this is a great example.
So Corinne owned a dog walkingand pet sitting company.
(07:27):
Holidays and weekends were herbusy times, which is no fun,
right?
She didn't get to participatein these holidays and weekends.
She was working.
Through her business, shestarted earning a reputation as
the doodle expert, and I lovethis because my dog Scout he's a
Labradoodle, so I'm loving this.
She actually wondered if shecould leverage this experience
(07:50):
as the doodle expert to helpsolve her scalability and
flexibility issues with hercurrent company, but she didn't
know exactly where to getstarted.
So, despite her fears and Iwant to mention this, every
single successful student I'veworked with they all have the
fears you have now.
They all have the doubts theyall started.
So, despite her fears and Iwant to mention this, every
single successful student I'veworked with they all have the
fears you have now.
They all have the doubts.
They all have the obstacles.
I promise you you're nodifferent, I promise.
(08:13):
So, despite her fears, she tookher next best step and started
the Doodle Pro podcast, and itdid really well.
And before long she ended upselling her dog walking business
and went all in on just doodles, and that's when she decided to
create a specific doodle course.
(08:35):
The result $14,000 on her veryfirst launch.
Plus, she made an additional$9,500 from a membership that
she offered with her courselaunch.
So she paired it with somethingelse.
Now Corinne wrote me soon afterand this is what she said the
money win is so great, but thebest part for me is that I got
(09:00):
my life back.
This is the stuff I live for,my friend.
Okay, here's another one, ifyou're feeling stressed because
the process itself feels likeit's just way too much, like you
don't know exactly what to do.
But you know it's a lot ofsteps, so that's just stressing
you out.
So my student Raya she struggledwith acne at a young age and
she wanted to help people whofaced her same struggles.
(09:23):
So she became an estheticianand she started in a brick and
mortar.
She started a brick and mortarbusiness.
She was 23 years old and it wasjust a tiny little room and
zero clients.
But she quickly experiencedsuccess and she grew both her
team and her business.
So she did good.
And then she started to hearabout digital courses and she
(09:44):
immediately saw an opportunityto help struggling and burned
out estheticians buildsuccessful businesses like hers.
She had success so she wantedto teach other people how she
got that success.
But here's the thing she didn'tknow where to start.
So Raya created a course and itwas called the six figure
beauty business blueprint.
(10:06):
Now, because she wasn't surewhat to do with this course like
how to get it out there shejust showed up every day on
Instagram and she started topromote her course.
She started to tell everybodyabout it.
She had 105 signups and$105,000 launch before her
course was ever even made.
(10:28):
Because I teach my students tocome up with your concept,
outline your course, get reallyclear on what you're going to
teach and what you're going todeliver, and then promote it
before you ever create it,because I never want you to
create a course that no onewants to buy.
So when you put it out into theworld, it's validation that
(10:49):
this thing is worth creating.
Now I followed up with Rayetteand she told me this is what she
said.
Quote making online coursesdoesn't have to be hard.
It can be easy, and you cantailor the strategy to your
business however you like.
End quote.
And she's totally right.
The truth is, when I started 15years ago, no one told me that
(11:11):
it can be easy, and I reallystruggled in the beginning
because I didn't have any guideto kind of show me how to get
started.
So I wish I had heard from Rheaway back when.
Now, here's the thing If you'relistening and you start to feel
overwhelmed, because maybeyou're thinking I don't even
know what I would teach, ormaybe you're afraid to put all
this time and energy intocreating a course without
(11:33):
knowing if people will actuallybuy it, which I just mentioned,
right?
So I get that, and I want youto stay with me, because I have
a really great resource that I'mgoing to share at the end of
this training that will helpwith this.
Okay, in the meantime, though,I've got to tell you about Bell
Mills.
Okay, this is such a good one.
So, after spending almost eightyears at home with her kids, she
(11:56):
decided to take an art class ather local university and she
started creating handmade booksusing salvaged paper.
Yeah, handmade books usingsalvaged paper.
One of her teachers asked herto take over one of her classes
at the local studio and shestarted teaching in person in
(12:16):
virtual workshops.
It was like a great opportunity.
She put herself out there, shegot this great invite.
She's like, yeah, I'll do that.
However, eventually Belle wantedto find a way to avoid teaching
the same class over and over,and also this was a really
manual type of thing and shejust had to allow her hands to
(12:38):
have the opportunity to restLike it was really taxing on her
hands.
So she wondered if she couldturn her workshops into
pre-recorded classes so shecould teach a class once and
offer it online all the time andbeyond her local market.
But in her mind it appearedthat there were very few digital
(13:00):
course students or creatorsthat were actually artists and
that kind of concerned her.
I'm sure Belle wondered likewhat if she put all this time
and energy into creating acourse?
What if people don't buy it?
What if all this work isn'tworth it?
So she came across a successfulfellow artist who was promoting
digital courses for her work andshe used that as inspiration to
(13:24):
take her very own plunge intothe digital course space.
This is important.
It's important to maybe seesomeone else do it.
Now Belle could have said, wait, that person's doing something
similar, there's no room for me.
No, she thought that person'sdoing it with success.
So that's proof that this couldwork.
I'm gonna be inspired by that.
That's the right mindset, myfriend.
So that this could work.
(13:52):
I'm going to be inspired bythat.
That's the right mindset, myfriend.
So she created an introductoryclass called Upcycled
Bookbinding and offered it at anaffordable price so that many
people could access it.
The result $6,000 from just thepre-sell of her course.
130 people signed up.
Now the course was under $100,so it was really affordable, but
she made $6,000.
That is a lot of money.
So she wrote me and this iswhat she said, quote that
(14:15):
initial success has given me theconfidence to continue pursuing
my dream of being a successfulonline course creator.
With just the pre-sell, I'vealready accomplished so much
more than I thought was possiblefor online art classes.
It's been life-changing for meand now I truly believe I can
make a sustainable living as anartist.
(14:38):
So seeing other people in thespace that you're looking to get
into again great validationthat there is an audience.
But it can also lead again tothat feeling of overwhelm that I
mentioned earlier, that feelingthat maybe you're not enough,
that question of who am I to bedoing this?
(14:58):
You see other people doing itonline and they look like they
have it all together.
They look like they're makingmillions of dollars even though
you have no idea.
They look like they're thebiggest pro at it.
So then you look at yourselfjust getting started and you're
like who am I to be doing this?
I absolutely felt that 15 yearsago and I can promise you 99.9%
(15:22):
of my students who get startedfrom scratch, who fast forward,
have had amazing success withcourses.
They, too, felt this way.
They tell me this before theyget started and then I get to
see them shine.
Also, another thing that mightcome up for you because it did
for me is that I was kind ofembarrassed to put myself out
there, start promoting myself inmy course, because I was just
(15:45):
worried about what people wouldthink or say about me.
Here's the truth.
So back in the day, I used towork for Tony Robbins and when I
left there and started my ownbusiness, I launched my first
digital course and I just didnot want to put it out there and
my husband was saying like whyaren't you putting content out
there?
Why aren't you promoting thiscourse?
(16:06):
And I said I'm really scaredabout like what will Tony think?
What will Tony say?
And he's like, babe, I love you, but I'm sorry to break it to
you.
I think Tony is doing his ownthing, building his own business
.
I don't think he's worriedabout what you're putting out
online.
And I laughed and I'm like,okay, you're so right.
But what about my old coworkers?
(16:27):
What are they going to say?
He's like them too.
Everyone's doing their ownthing.
And also anyone who puts youdown for going after your dreams
, for putting yourself out therein this way, I can promise you
that they are doing less.
What I mean by that is no onedoing more than you, no one
(16:48):
that's going after their dreams.
You know, hustling to make itwork.
They will never stop and putyou down.
That's not how it works.
So just consider the source, myfriend.
If they do talk, consider thesource.
Now back to you.
(17:09):
Imposter syndrome.
That's what this is all about,right?
Imposter syndrome.
It was such a regular for me.
But in the back of my head,even though I was thinking, who
am I to be doing this, I keptthinking I think I can help
people, though I actually thinkI can figure this out.
There was this little faintvoice.
I just knew I can figure thisout.
There was this little faintvoice.
I just knew I had perspectivesthat were different from maybe
other voices out there.
I had different experiences andI really wanted it.
(17:29):
I wanted freedom.
I wanted to work when I wanted,where I wanted, how I wanted,
and I knew digital courses wouldget me there.
It wasn't that nine to five joband it wasn't doing consulting
or coaching, because that'sone-on-one work, trading time
for dollars.
I wanted something to give memore freedom, and that's why I
stuck with it.
So here's what I want to offeryou when this fear starts to
(17:50):
creep up you don't need to be anexpert to have a successful
digital course.
Yeah, you heard me right.
I'm going to say it one moretime you do not need to be an
expert on a subject matter likeknow everything about it to have
a successful digital course.
You just need to have a 10%edge a 10% edge over the
(18:12):
students that you are going tobe teaching.
You need to be 10% ahead ofthose you're teaching and be
willing to show them exactlywhat you did to get the results
that you got.
So the 10% edge is somethingthat I teach my Digital Course
Academy students.
It's meant to help you developyour skills and confidence to
(18:33):
consistently show up whenstarting out, knowing you don't
have to have everything figuredout, just the 10% edge, so that
you can teach people what it isthat you did for yourself or for
somebody else to get results.
And I think this is theimportant part.
It's all about understandingthat you don't need to be years
ahead of those that you serve tomake an impact.
(18:55):
Instead, it's about leaninginto the results that you've
gotten and choosing to impactthose who want to experience the
the results that you've gotten,and choosing to impact those
who want to experience the same.
So you've got to acknowledgeyour credibility and success,
like right now, my friend, youhave the 10% edge.
You probably have it in a fewdifferent ways in, like, the
business sense and in a personalsense.
Maybe you have an Airbnb that'sjust crushing it.
(19:19):
You know exactly what it takesto have a successful Airbnb.
That's a digital course.
Maybe you're a project managerand you created some really
specific processes and systemsthat have worked for you and,
like really allowed you to climbthe ladder as a project manager
.
That's a course.
You could teach that.
So we don't need to overthinkthis and that's important.
(19:42):
So what's something that you'veaccomplished that makes you
feel proud, like, think aboutthat, feel that Acknowledge that
you did that.
Or what's something that peoplealways ask you like, how are
you doing that?
Or how did you do that?
That might be a course.
The thing is, you've got to justkeep showing up.
You don't need to haveconfidence that this is going to
(20:03):
crush it right now.
You just need to have courage.
Think of the first day at a newjob.
You didn't know the systems orsoftwares or even where the
coffee was at.
But six months into this newjob, you showed up, solved a
problem, got the well done fromyour boss at maybe a meeting or
(20:24):
something.
You figured the things out inover a really short period of
time.
So that's no different.
With this, you create yourfirst digital course.
You will figure it out as yougo and if you let me guide you,
we'll get there a whole lotfaster.
But I'm really here to say youcan absolutely figure this out.
You already have a successfultrack record of figuring many
(20:46):
other things out before today.
Now I do want to share with youone final story, kevin.
Kevin was a middle school viceprincipal who taught fitness on
the side.
He wasn't necessarily a fitnessexpert and, again, his day job
was in education, but he wantedto help other dads like him in
(21:07):
fitness, so he kept showing up.
He started an Instagram accountwith just like short workout
videos for busy dads.
And then people started askingfor virtual private coaching for
workouts that they could do athome.
So he decided to turn hisfitness coaching into a digital
course.
What Kevin did was lean intothat 10% edge that I just talked
(21:31):
about, and even then his firstlaunch didn't go as planned.
But he fine-tuned his contentand he relaunched.
Did you hear that the firstlaunch didn't go as planned?
Mine didn't either.
I made $267 and then cried fora week, but imagine if Kevin or
I had just stopped there.
No, we went back and we kind ofchanged a few things and we
(21:55):
dusted ourselves off.
After I cried and we got backout there and this is get ready
for this.
So he first launched didn't goas planned.
Then he got back out there.
He kind of fine-tuned what hewas doing.
He told himself I'm just gonnastart simple and I can get fancy
later.
So the result?
He has now made over $300,000.
(22:19):
His best month he brought in$40,000.
So in less than a year afterlaunching his course, he was
able to leave his vice principalrole and go all in on digital
courses.
And this is the best part.
Beyond all the money, he nowstays home to care for his
children while running hisbusiness.
Again, that's the stuff I livefor, and I want to stop here and
(22:41):
remind you of this one thingyou have a digital course in you
.
I mean, I hope you've beenlistening to every single one of
these stories.
Maybe you're sitting in yourwork parking lot, maybe you're
commuting to and from work,maybe you're cooking lunch or
(23:04):
walking or on the elliptical,whatever it is, and you think,
yeah, I can do this.
I don't know how, but I can dothis, even if it's a nervous yes
, or there's some doubt on theperiphery of that.
Yes, I hope you get that.
A digital course is doable, notjust for them, it's doable for
you.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
This, my friend, is what I want you to hear the most
.
It's doable for you.
She's so.
She's just the best.
I absolutely love her.
I hope that you enjoyed thismessage from her and I want you
to take away from it.
I want you to think about itFirst of all.
Message from her and I want youto take away from it.
I want you to think about itFirst of all.
There were so many differentideas, so many ideas to think of
(23:44):
, so you're not limited by.
You know just the things thatyou do in your job.
You are able to pick anythingthat you want.
I have worked withteacherpreneurs who have done
things inside the classroom,like courses that have to do
with the classroom work.
I know that.
I've talked to people that havedone things for parents.
I have talked to people whowanted to start book clubs that
have nothing to do with teachingor parents or anything like
that.
(24:04):
I have talked to people thatthere's just so many different
ideas that people have come upwith and it's really
unbelievable.
And the thing is is you don'thave to be, like Amy said, an
expert.
You just have to have that 10%edge and the mindset piece.
That's a big one.
It can be a big one for me aswell.
The imposter syndrome.
(24:25):
Even with this, even with myaffiliate partnership, I often
get that imposter syndrome whereI'm like who am I to to ask
people to sign up through DCA?
Through me, you know, who am Ito say that I have something
more to offer than somebody else?
And the thing is is that Imight not have more to offer
than someone else.
(24:46):
What I can offer is support.
It's cheerleading, it's showingup for you week after week for
the duration of DCA.
I can show up with a smallgroup of fellow teacherpreneurs,
teachers, moms, even dads.
I can show up and I can helproot you on.
(25:06):
I can tell you about the thingsthat I've done that have been a
mistake.
I can help you avoid thosemistakes.
I can help you talk things out.
I can be there for you duringthis process.
That's one of my bonuses.
I also offer my podcastingcourse for free.
You get that for free.
It's like getting two coursesfor the price of one and it's
(25:28):
just.
If you want to start a podcast,you don't have to start a
podcast, but it's an extralittle bonus.
I have a few other goodiesinvolved as well, but it's an
extra little bonus.
I have a few other goodiesinvolved as well, and you can
find out more about what itlooks like to join with me at
Trina Devery teaching andlearningcom.
Forward slash DCA, devery.
All one word DCA Devery.
(25:48):
So I hope that you wouldconsider joining through me.
If you decide to join DigitalCourse Academy, it really is
such a game changer.
It's more than creating adigital course.
It's more than creating andlaunching a digital course.
It is such a community.
It is such a lesson inmarketing.
(26:09):
It is.
It's just.
It really is an unbelievableexperience.
Now I told you I would share atthe end something that happened
the other day.
I have a dear friend.
He's a teacherpreneur.
He's a teacher and ateacherpreneur and he's been on
my podcast a couple of times.
I think he's so great.
So he reached out to me and hesaid I know that.
(26:31):
He said he had startedlistening to Amy Porterfield's
two-week notice and he said hewasn't planning on quitting, but
anyway, so he was listening tothat and that I was a big
advocate of her stuff and I'dlove to know what makes you such
a big fan of her work.
And I was like all right, letme tell you.
And I said, okay, here it iswhat I like about Amy.
(26:51):
She is genuine and real.
She isn't afraid to bevulnerable.
She knows her stuff and teachesin a way that makes sense, even
on the backside of her launches, which I have been a part of.
She shows up and serves.
She is generous, kind andgrateful.
She's also very smart.
I've been an affiliate partnerin other areas and nothing has
(27:16):
ever compared to the experiencethat I have had with Amy.
And then I told him that thiswould likely be my last year
partnering, and not because Idon't love it or love her or
love working with otherteacherpreneurs, it's that I
really need to focus myself.
I really need to hone in andfocus.
Anyway, I don't know if thatgives you the information you
(27:37):
need, but those are just myfeelings and thoughts about Amy.
I'll always be a super fan, andso then I was thinking you know
, sometimes when we are creatingcourses or when we're in our
business, when we're doingthings, we don't get told often
enough how great we are.
So I was like I'm going towrite this to her, I'm going to
(27:57):
actually tell her all thesethings.
So I wrote her and I told heryou know that I had a friend
that reached out and then Ishared what I said and I, you
know, told her that I was a fanand how much she's meant to me
and and I felt a littleemotional when I sent it and I
was like there's no way you'reever going to see this and I'm
(28:18):
sure you're, you're, you knowyou're not going to see it and
it's not going to be.
You know she's not going to.
I mean, she it's on Instagram,so she's not going to see it.
But she totally did see it andshe wrote she sent me back a
voice memo and I was like and itwas not like a generic voice
memo, it wasn't like apre-recorded memo, she actually
was specifically talking aboutmy message and she wouldn't have
(28:40):
been able to say that inadvance and it was just the most
.
It was just such a kind message.
I don't want to share itbecause it feels personal.
But I just felt like and evensharing that message feels
personal, but I just want you toknow like that's what it looks
like on the other side whensomebody is asking me a question
and they want, you know, anhonest answer, and that's how I
(29:00):
truly feel about her.
So I thought I would just sharethat little part with you.
It definitely made my day, yeah.

(01:15):
host, trina Deber.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Hey, so I wanted to share this little bonus episode.
It's a short one, it's not toolong, but I have a little
message from Amy and I'm excitedto share.
I will tell you that the cartis officially open for Digital
Course Academy and maybe you arestill headed to the five no
fuss steps to a profitabledigital course from scratch.
Maybe you're still headed tothat masterclass and if you are,
(01:37):
you've got to still go becauseit is incredible.
It is such an incredibleexperience.
If you're even consideringdoing digital courses or
creating digital courses, you'regoing to want to see what this
is like.
I mean, this is like beyondanything you can imagine.
It's not your typical webinar,it's not your typical
masterclass.
It is like it's crazy.
(01:57):
It is so crazy.
I absolutely love it.
I think it's so fun.
Last year I went and I cried,so it's very exciting.
But inside of this experience,inside of this masterclass, amy
will be inviting you intoDigital Course Academy and it's
a special place to be, and Iwanted to share a little bit
about what that is and what thatmeans.
(02:19):
And I also want you to knowthat I have some bonuses.
I have some bonuses if youdecide to join DCA and you
decide to join through meBecause, as you know, I am a
proud partner.
I'm a proud affiliate partnerwith Amy and I have been for
like the last six years.
It's been quite a journey and,honestly, it's one that I think
(02:41):
is coming to an end.
That is my intention for thisyear, that this is going to be
my last year, and I'm a littlebit sad about that.
I'm also really excited aboutthe group of teachers and
teacherpreneurs that's going tojoin me inside and what we're
going to do.
One of them is going to be fromlast year.
She wanted to come back andparticipate because she said
(03:02):
this group was just so helpfulto her last year.
So I'm excited to have her backand it's going to be.
It's going to be an excitingjourney.
But I think that I need to.
I think I need to like startputting myself in like a sole
focus and not splitting myselfall over the place and these
crazy different directions thatI'm constantly going in, and I
(03:25):
want to.
I want to be a little bit moreintentional about what I'm doing
and how I'm showing up and allthose good things.
So I, yeah, I'm excited.
I'll talk more about that, likelater on next week and yes, so
in the meantime, I wanted toshare something really special
(03:45):
that happened before we jump.
Actually, I'll wait till theend, so you can wait till the
end to hear that little part,because it was a really cool
little thing that happened andjust another example of how
really great she is.
All right.
So today we're going to listento a little message from Amy
herself and she's going to talkto us about digital courses.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, hey there.
Thanks so much for having me.
So, like you said, I've spentthe last 15 years creating and
selling digital courses, whichis now the number one revenue
generator in my $100 milliononline business which feels wild
for me to even say.
But I've had the privilege ofhelping more than 90,000
(04:29):
entrepreneurs create and launchdigital courses to grow their
business, and I'm going to sharea lot in this episode about
digital courses who makes them,who's successful with them, what
they teach, what they charge,and so much more.
But if I could sum it all up inone statement, I believe to my
(04:50):
core that a digital course isthe single most powerful and
strategic way to make an impactin the world, while growing your
income and freedom tolife-changing levels.
But with all of my experienceworking with course creators
literally tens of thousands ofthem I can tell you that there's
(05:16):
one thing that stops peoplefrom getting started and seeing
real, genuine success.
Can you guess what it is?
It's overwhelm.
Overwhelm of not knowing whereto start.
Overwhelm of not knowing whereto start, overwhelm of not
knowing what to teach, overwhelmabout the technical areas of
creating and launching yourcourse and, especially, the
overwhelm of that feeling I amnot enough, I'm not expert
(05:41):
enough, I'm not unique enough,I'm not prepared enough the list
goes on and on.
If you've been even a littlecurious to know whether or not
you could create a digitalcourse, but you have some, or
maybe all of these fears that Imentioned.
If these fears are stopping you, stay with me, if you're okay
(06:03):
with it.
I want to jump right into thisfirst idea.
I'm so overwhelmed by all thethings.
I don't even know where tostart that one, let's talk about
it.
This is like quicksand forevery entrepreneur A looming
mountain of tasks between you,tasks you don't even know what
they are yet.
Between you and that vision youhave to create this profitable
(06:26):
digital course, thatoverwhelming feeling will suck
you right in and make sure yougo nowhere.
So here's what I want toencourage you to think about.
You don't need to have all theanswers.
You just need to commit foryourself and your business and
(06:46):
take the best next step.
I'm going to share someexamples of what it looks like
to take the next best step, oneat a time in a second here.
But again, I believe to my corethat a digital course is the
single most powerful andstrategic way to make an impact
in the world and grow yourincome without locking yourself
(07:06):
into trading time for money.
So please don't let the fear ofnot knowing where to start or
what next step to take be thething that stops you.
I want to tell you about one ofmy students, corinne Gerhart.
So this is a great example.
So Corinne owned a dog walkingand pet sitting company.
(07:27):
Holidays and weekends were herbusy times, which is no fun,
right?
She didn't get to participatein these holidays and weekends.
She was working.
Through her business, shestarted earning a reputation as
the doodle expert, and I lovethis because my dog Scout he's a
Labradoodle, so I'm loving this.
She actually wondered if shecould leverage this experience
(07:50):
as the doodle expert to helpsolve her scalability and
flexibility issues with hercurrent company, but she didn't
know exactly where to getstarted.
So, despite her fears and Iwant to mention this, every
single successful student I'veworked with they all have the
fears you have now.
They all have the doubts theyall started.
So, despite her fears and Iwant to mention this, every
single successful student I'veworked with they all have the
fears you have now.
They all have the doubts.
They all have the obstacles.
I promise you you're nodifferent, I promise.
(08:13):
So, despite her fears, she tookher next best step and started
the Doodle Pro podcast, and itdid really well.
And before long she ended upselling her dog walking business
and went all in on just doodles, and that's when she decided to
create a specific doodle course.
(08:35):
The result $14,000 on her veryfirst launch.
Plus, she made an additional$9,500 from a membership that
she offered with her courselaunch.
So she paired it with somethingelse.
Now Corinne wrote me soon afterand this is what she said the
money win is so great, but thebest part for me is that I got
(09:00):
my life back.
This is the stuff I live for,my friend.
Okay, here's another one, ifyou're feeling stressed because
the process itself feels likeit's just way too much, like you
don't know exactly what to do.
But you know it's a lot ofsteps, so that's just stressing
you out.
So my student Raya she struggledwith acne at a young age and
she wanted to help people whofaced her same struggles.
(09:23):
So she became an estheticianand she started in a brick and
mortar.
She started a brick and mortarbusiness.
She was 23 years old and it wasjust a tiny little room and
zero clients.
But she quickly experiencedsuccess and she grew both her
team and her business.
So she did good.
And then she started to hearabout digital courses and she
(09:44):
immediately saw an opportunityto help struggling and burned
out estheticians buildsuccessful businesses like hers.
She had success so she wantedto teach other people how she
got that success.
But here's the thing she didn'tknow where to start.
So Raya created a course and itwas called the six figure
beauty business blueprint.
(10:06):
Now, because she wasn't surewhat to do with this course like
how to get it out there shejust showed up every day on
Instagram and she started topromote her course.
She started to tell everybodyabout it.
She had 105 signups and$105,000 launch before her
course was ever even made.
(10:28):
Because I teach my students tocome up with your concept,
outline your course, get reallyclear on what you're going to
teach and what you're going todeliver, and then promote it
before you ever create it,because I never want you to
create a course that no onewants to buy.
So when you put it out into theworld, it's validation that
(10:49):
this thing is worth creating.
Now I followed up with Rayetteand she told me this is what she
said.
Quote making online coursesdoesn't have to be hard.
It can be easy, and you cantailor the strategy to your
business however you like.
End quote.
And she's totally right.
The truth is, when I started 15years ago, no one told me that
(11:11):
it can be easy, and I reallystruggled in the beginning
because I didn't have any guideto kind of show me how to get
started.
So I wish I had heard from Rheaway back when.
Now, here's the thing If you'relistening and you start to feel
overwhelmed, because maybeyou're thinking I don't even
know what I would teach, ormaybe you're afraid to put all
this time and energy intocreating a course without
(11:33):
knowing if people will actuallybuy it, which I just mentioned,
right?
So I get that, and I want youto stay with me, because I have
a really great resource that I'mgoing to share at the end of
this training that will helpwith this.
Okay, in the meantime, though,I've got to tell you about Bell
Mills.
Okay, this is such a good one.
So, after spending almost eightyears at home with her kids, she
(11:56):
decided to take an art class ather local university and she
started creating handmade booksusing salvaged paper.
Yeah, handmade books usingsalvaged paper.
One of her teachers asked herto take over one of her classes
at the local studio and shestarted teaching in person in
(12:16):
virtual workshops.
It was like a great opportunity.
She put herself out there, shegot this great invite.
She's like, yeah, I'll do that.
However, eventually Belle wantedto find a way to avoid teaching
the same class over and over,and also this was a really
manual type of thing and shejust had to allow her hands to
(12:38):
have the opportunity to restLike it was really taxing on her
hands.
So she wondered if she couldturn her workshops into
pre-recorded classes so shecould teach a class once and
offer it online all the time andbeyond her local market.
But in her mind it appearedthat there were very few digital
(13:00):
course students or creatorsthat were actually artists and
that kind of concerned her.
I'm sure Belle wondered likewhat if she put all this time
and energy into creating acourse?
What if people don't buy it?
What if all this work isn'tworth it?
So she came across a successfulfellow artist who was promoting
digital courses for her work andshe used that as inspiration to
(13:24):
take her very own plunge intothe digital course space.
This is important.
It's important to maybe seesomeone else do it.
Now Belle could have said, wait, that person's doing something
similar, there's no room for me.
No, she thought that person'sdoing it with success.
So that's proof that this couldwork.
I'm gonna be inspired by that.
That's the right mindset, myfriend.
So that this could work.
(13:52):
I'm going to be inspired bythat.
That's the right mindset, myfriend.
So she created an introductoryclass called Upcycled
Bookbinding and offered it at anaffordable price so that many
people could access it.
The result $6,000 from just thepre-sell of her course.
130 people signed up.
Now the course was under $100,so it was really affordable, but
she made $6,000.
That is a lot of money.
So she wrote me and this iswhat she said, quote that
(14:15):
initial success has given me theconfidence to continue pursuing
my dream of being a successfulonline course creator.
With just the pre-sell, I'vealready accomplished so much
more than I thought was possiblefor online art classes.
It's been life-changing for meand now I truly believe I can
make a sustainable living as anartist.
(14:38):
So seeing other people in thespace that you're looking to get
into again great validationthat there is an audience.
But it can also lead again tothat feeling of overwhelm that I
mentioned earlier, that feelingthat maybe you're not enough,
that question of who am I to bedoing this?
(14:58):
You see other people doing itonline and they look like they
have it all together.
They look like they're makingmillions of dollars even though
you have no idea.
They look like they're thebiggest pro at it.
So then you look at yourselfjust getting started and you're
like who am I to be doing this?
I absolutely felt that 15 yearsago and I can promise you 99.9%
(15:22):
of my students who get startedfrom scratch, who fast forward,
have had amazing success withcourses.
They, too, felt this way.
They tell me this before theyget started and then I get to
see them shine.
Also, another thing that mightcome up for you because it did
for me is that I was kind ofembarrassed to put myself out
there, start promoting myself inmy course, because I was just
(15:45):
worried about what people wouldthink or say about me.
Here's the truth.
So back in the day, I used towork for Tony Robbins and when I
left there and started my ownbusiness, I launched my first
digital course and I just didnot want to put it out there and
my husband was saying like whyaren't you putting content out
there?
Why aren't you promoting thiscourse?
(16:06):
And I said I'm really scaredabout like what will Tony think?
What will Tony say?
And he's like, babe, I love you, but I'm sorry to break it to
you.
I think Tony is doing his ownthing, building his own business
.
I don't think he's worriedabout what you're putting out
online.
And I laughed and I'm like,okay, you're so right.
But what about my old coworkers?
(16:27):
What are they going to say?
He's like them too.
Everyone's doing their ownthing.
And also anyone who puts youdown for going after your dreams
, for putting yourself out therein this way, I can promise you
that they are doing less.
What I mean by that is no onedoing more than you, no one
(16:48):
that's going after their dreams.
You know, hustling to make itwork.
They will never stop and putyou down.
That's not how it works.
So just consider the source, myfriend.
If they do talk, consider thesource.
Now back to you.
(17:09):
Imposter syndrome.
That's what this is all about,right?
Imposter syndrome.
It was such a regular for me.
But in the back of my head,even though I was thinking, who
am I to be doing this, I keptthinking I think I can help
people, though I actually thinkI can figure this out.
There was this little faintvoice.
I just knew I can figure thisout.
There was this little faintvoice.
I just knew I had perspectivesthat were different from maybe
other voices out there.
I had different experiences andI really wanted it.
(17:29):
I wanted freedom.
I wanted to work when I wanted,where I wanted, how I wanted,
and I knew digital courses wouldget me there.
It wasn't that nine to five joband it wasn't doing consulting
or coaching, because that'sone-on-one work, trading time
for dollars.
I wanted something to give memore freedom, and that's why I
stuck with it.
So here's what I want to offeryou when this fear starts to
(17:50):
creep up you don't need to be anexpert to have a successful
digital course.
Yeah, you heard me right.
I'm going to say it one moretime you do not need to be an
expert on a subject matter likeknow everything about it to have
a successful digital course.
You just need to have a 10%edge a 10% edge over the
(18:12):
students that you are going tobe teaching.
You need to be 10% ahead ofthose you're teaching and be
willing to show them exactlywhat you did to get the results
that you got.
So the 10% edge is somethingthat I teach my Digital Course
Academy students.
It's meant to help you developyour skills and confidence to
(18:33):
consistently show up whenstarting out, knowing you don't
have to have everything figuredout, just the 10% edge, so that
you can teach people what it isthat you did for yourself or for
somebody else to get results.
And I think this is theimportant part.
It's all about understandingthat you don't need to be years
ahead of those that you serve tomake an impact.
(18:55):
Instead, it's about leaninginto the results that you've
gotten and choosing to impactthose who want to experience the
the results that you've gotten,and choosing to impact those
who want to experience the same.
So you've got to acknowledgeyour credibility and success,
like right now, my friend, youhave the 10% edge.
You probably have it in a fewdifferent ways in, like, the
business sense and in a personalsense.
Maybe you have an Airbnb that'sjust crushing it.
(19:19):
You know exactly what it takesto have a successful Airbnb.
That's a digital course.
Maybe you're a project managerand you created some really
specific processes and systemsthat have worked for you and,
like really allowed you to climbthe ladder as a project manager
.
That's a course.
You could teach that.
So we don't need to overthinkthis and that's important.
(19:42):
So what's something that you'veaccomplished that makes you
feel proud, like, think aboutthat, feel that Acknowledge that
you did that.
Or what's something that peoplealways ask you like, how are
you doing that?
Or how did you do that?
That might be a course.
The thing is, you've got to justkeep showing up.
You don't need to haveconfidence that this is going to
(20:03):
crush it right now.
You just need to have courage.
Think of the first day at a newjob.
You didn't know the systems orsoftwares or even where the
coffee was at.
But six months into this newjob, you showed up, solved a
problem, got the well done fromyour boss at maybe a meeting or
(20:24):
something.
You figured the things out inover a really short period of
time.
So that's no different.
With this, you create yourfirst digital course.
You will figure it out as yougo and if you let me guide you,
we'll get there a whole lotfaster.
But I'm really here to say youcan absolutely figure this out.
You already have a successfultrack record of figuring many
(20:46):
other things out before today.
Now I do want to share with youone final story, kevin.
Kevin was a middle school viceprincipal who taught fitness on
the side.
He wasn't necessarily a fitnessexpert and, again, his day job
was in education, but he wantedto help other dads like him in
(21:07):
fitness, so he kept showing up.
He started an Instagram accountwith just like short workout
videos for busy dads.
And then people started askingfor virtual private coaching for
workouts that they could do athome.
So he decided to turn hisfitness coaching into a digital
course.
What Kevin did was lean intothat 10% edge that I just talked
(21:31):
about, and even then his firstlaunch didn't go as planned.
But he fine-tuned his contentand he relaunched.
Did you hear that the firstlaunch didn't go as planned?
Mine didn't either.
I made $267 and then cried fora week, but imagine if Kevin or
I had just stopped there.
No, we went back and we kind ofchanged a few things and we
(21:55):
dusted ourselves off.
After I cried and we got backout there and this is get ready
for this.
So he first launched didn't goas planned.
Then he got back out there.
He kind of fine-tuned what hewas doing.
He told himself I'm just gonnastart simple and I can get fancy
later.
So the result?
He has now made over $300,000.
(22:19):
His best month he brought in$40,000.
So in less than a year afterlaunching his course, he was
able to leave his vice principalrole and go all in on digital
courses.
And this is the best part.
Beyond all the money, he nowstays home to care for his
children while running hisbusiness.
Again, that's the stuff I livefor, and I want to stop here and
(22:41):
remind you of this one thingyou have a digital course in you
.
I mean, I hope you've beenlistening to every single one of
these stories.
Maybe you're sitting in yourwork parking lot, maybe you're
commuting to and from work,maybe you're cooking lunch or
(23:04):
walking or on the elliptical,whatever it is, and you think,
yeah, I can do this.
I don't know how, but I can dothis, even if it's a nervous yes
, or there's some doubt on theperiphery of that.
Yes, I hope you get that.
A digital course is doable, notjust for them, it's doable for
you.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
This, my friend, is what I want you to hear the most
.
It's doable for you.
She's so.
She's just the best.
I absolutely love her.
I hope that you enjoyed thismessage from her and I want you
to take away from it.
I want you to think about itFirst of all.
Message from her and I want youto take away from it.
I want you to think about itFirst of all.
There were so many differentideas, so many ideas to think of
(23:44):
, so you're not limited by.
You know just the things thatyou do in your job.
You are able to pick anythingthat you want.
I have worked withteacherpreneurs who have done
things inside the classroom,like courses that have to do
with the classroom work.
I know that.
I've talked to people that havedone things for parents.
I have talked to people whowanted to start book clubs that
have nothing to do with teachingor parents or anything like
that.
(24:04):
I have talked to people thatthere's just so many different
ideas that people have come upwith and it's really
unbelievable.
And the thing is is you don'thave to be, like Amy said, an
expert.
You just have to have that 10%edge and the mindset piece.
That's a big one.
It can be a big one for me aswell.
The imposter syndrome.
(24:25):
Even with this, even with myaffiliate partnership, I often
get that imposter syndrome whereI'm like who am I to to ask
people to sign up through DCA?
Through me, you know, who am Ito say that I have something
more to offer than somebody else?
And the thing is is that Imight not have more to offer
than someone else.
(24:46):
What I can offer is support.
It's cheerleading, it's showingup for you week after week for
the duration of DCA.
I can show up with a smallgroup of fellow teacherpreneurs,
teachers, moms, even dads.
I can show up and I can helproot you on.
(25:06):
I can tell you about the thingsthat I've done that have been a
mistake.
I can help you avoid thosemistakes.
I can help you talk things out.
I can be there for you duringthis process.
That's one of my bonuses.
I also offer my podcastingcourse for free.
You get that for free.
It's like getting two coursesfor the price of one and it's
(25:28):
just.
If you want to start a podcast,you don't have to start a
podcast, but it's an extralittle bonus.
I have a few other goodiesinvolved as well, but it's an
extra little bonus.
I have a few other goodiesinvolved as well, and you can
find out more about what itlooks like to join with me at
Trina Devery teaching andlearningcom.
Forward slash DCA, devery.
All one word DCA Devery.
(25:48):
So I hope that you wouldconsider joining through me.
If you decide to join DigitalCourse Academy, it really is
such a game changer.
It's more than creating adigital course.
It's more than creating andlaunching a digital course.
It is such a community.
It is such a lesson inmarketing.
(26:09):
It is.
It's just.
It really is an unbelievableexperience.
Now I told you I would share atthe end something that happened
the other day.
I have a dear friend.
He's a teacherpreneur.
He's a teacher and ateacherpreneur and he's been on
my podcast a couple of times.
I think he's so great.
So he reached out to me and hesaid I know that.
(26:31):
He said he had startedlistening to Amy Porterfield's
two-week notice and he said hewasn't planning on quitting, but
anyway, so he was listening tothat and that I was a big
advocate of her stuff and I'dlove to know what makes you such
a big fan of her work.
And I was like all right, letme tell you.
And I said, okay, here it iswhat I like about Amy.
(26:51):
She is genuine and real.
She isn't afraid to bevulnerable.
She knows her stuff and teachesin a way that makes sense, even
on the backside of her launches, which I have been a part of.
She shows up and serves.
She is generous, kind andgrateful.
She's also very smart.
I've been an affiliate partnerin other areas and nothing has
(27:16):
ever compared to the experiencethat I have had with Amy.
And then I told him that thiswould likely be my last year
partnering, and not because Idon't love it or love her or
love working with otherteacherpreneurs, it's that I
really need to focus myself.
I really need to hone in andfocus.
Anyway, I don't know if thatgives you the information you
(27:37):
need, but those are just myfeelings and thoughts about Amy.
I'll always be a super fan, andso then I was thinking you know
, sometimes when we are creatingcourses or when we're in our
business, when we're doingthings, we don't get told often
enough how great we are.
So I was like I'm going towrite this to her, I'm going to
(27:57):
actually tell her all thesethings.
So I wrote her and I told heryou know that I had a friend
that reached out and then Ishared what I said and I, you
know, told her that I was a fanand how much she's meant to me
and and I felt a littleemotional when I sent it and I
was like there's no way you'reever going to see this and I'm
(28:18):
sure you're, you're, you knowyou're not going to see it and
it's not going to be.
You know she's not going to.
I mean, she it's on Instagram,so she's not going to see it.
But she totally did see it andshe wrote she sent me back a
voice memo and I was like and itwas not like a generic voice
memo, it wasn't like apre-recorded memo, she actually
was specifically talking aboutmy message and she wouldn't have
(28:40):
been able to say that inadvance and it was just the most
.
It was just such a kind message.
I don't want to share itbecause it feels personal.
But I just felt like and evensharing that message feels
personal, but I just want you toknow like that's what it looks
like on the other side whensomebody is asking me a question
and they want, you know, anhonest answer, and that's how I
(29:00):
truly feel about her.
So I thought I would just sharethat little part with you.
It definitely made my day, yeah.
So again, digital CourseAcademy is open and if you'd
like to join through me, I'dlove to have you.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
