That’s why it’s so important as the captain of your digital course ship to foster an environment of accountability within your community. It’s been a crucial part of what’s made my courses so successful.In fact, what drives the remarkable transformations my students undergo during Digital Course Academy’s intensive nine-week journey is thanks to what I lovingly call “Accountability Pods.” And after helping thousands of students launch digital courses over the years, I’ve fine tuned an effective system that will guide you in creating your own accountability program for your course.Not only will this system make your students’ course experience better, but it will also streamline the facilitation process for you. Throughout this episode, I’ll unveil the five core strategies I use to lay the foundation for an Accountability Pod program in my courses. You’ll also hear real life stories of how my students have leveraged their Accountability Pods not only to craft profitable digital courses, but also to forge lasting friendships.So if your digital course needs a little boost in the accountability department, then tune in and pay close attention! And if you’ve yet to launch your course, this episode is sure to spark ideas for your future course development and offerings for your audience.So, grab your notepad, roll up your sleeves, and let’s dive right in!Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts “I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy.”

Well, you’re not alone. Over the years I’ve found that many of my Digital Course Academy students started off feeling this way — but still go on to create wildly successful digital courses. One of these students is Jan Ditchfield, a former award-winning fundraiser and revenue generation strategist. Burnt out from being told what to do at her 9 to 5, she took a leap of faith and ventured into the world of entrepreneurship and digital courses.What I love about her story is that Jen had a small email list andsmall social media following – yet she managed to rake in an impressive $18,425 from 29 enrollments — completely ad-free – in her very first launch. Since joining Digital Course Academy, Jan’s journey has led her to over $145,000 in revenue, and she’s well on her way to a multiple 6-figure business. How incredible is that?In this episode, you’re going to hear more about Jan’s story, and how she blew the idea that you need a massive email list to achieve substantial revenue completely out of the water.
