I have a site that’s now averaging about $3500 a month (it spikes over the holiday season. Last November it did more than $9,000). It’s not the highest earning site, but it’s a nice income for little work.

"The sites that I built using Andrew & Sara’s methods I sold for $50k. It gave me enough money to quit my job, travel and I’m now building a new site that is nearing a decent wage already."

There are a ton of “online business-building” trainings out there.

It seems like every time you part the tall grass of the Internet, another too-good-to-be-true headline jumps out:

"My Secret To Earning $12,340 per day..."

"Make Money While You Sleep!"

"Stay At Home Mom Discovers The Secret To Destroying Belly Fat!"**

** OK, so that last one isn’t quite related.

For some reason, they’ve all got the same ugly red headlines…

And they all promise what you’ve been dreaming of —

A chance to quit your boring job, start a business, and live a flexible, carefree, travel-packed life.

You’ll get to make your own schedule! Work just an hour a day from a fancy coffee shop! Hire a full-time nanny for your kids while you sip margaritas and plan your next luxury beach trip!

Scientists haven’t yet figured out how to make money grow on trees. If that changes, we’ll totally let you know.

Bad news. It’s bogus.

The reality is that being successful with a real online business — one that will support you and your family long-term, and won’t disappear in a blink with the next Google or Amazon update — is really hard.

It takes a good idea, consistent effort, and a strategic plan.

Not to mention time.

So when you try to start a business like this, hope and excitement can quickly turn to frustration and disappointment when - sometimes after months of time and thousands of dollars invested - you realize it's just not gonna work the way they told you it would.

It sucks because...

Behind the scenes - far away from those mansion photos and screaming headlines - real income generating online businesses DO exist...

You’ll even see some of them on this page.

    - Regular people start them. Of all ages.

    - With no prior experience.

    - Often while they’re working 9-5 jobs.

And when it works, it’s as wonderful as all the cliches tell you...

testimonial Digital Worth Academy

Fast forward to today. I’ve implemented what Andrew and Sara taught and am still implementing it. My one website is generating a solid $2,500 a month on average, and I’ve had a huge month in December when it made roughly $13,000. But the best part is, I spend on average 1 hour a month on my website. It’s literally runs on autopilot and I’m so happy because I’ve gained my life back. In fact, last September I was finally able to leave my 60+ hour week job. I go on vacation every other month and spend quality time with my wife and baby. I’ve gained freedom, the lifestyle, and a business that works around my life. Everything has literally transformed before my eyes.

You really CAN have this little website that earns you money...

(Yes, even while you’re sleeping. See below:)

This is what I saw for earnings on one of my sites when I woke up last Tuesday. Granted I live in Australia, so while I’m asleep, the rest of the world is awake… but still!

You can earn your income working from home…

(Yes you CAN work in your pajamas… that doesn’t mean you SHOULD. :))

You can be your own boss...

(And avoid having some ignorant, a** kissing, control freak determine the course of your day.)

You can spend more of your time on the things that are important to you: family, hobbies, travel, your health and fitness?

(On Monday and Thursday mornings, just after 9am, while many of my fellow city dwellers are headed to the office, I’m taking these two goons to their swimming lessons)

And you can take your work with you, wherever you are in the world.

(Not having to cram your holiday time into 4 weeks annual leave a year, is completely life changing.)

Full disclosure: No internet access up on that mountain. But at our BnB down below I totally shot off a few emails.

You CAN Have All This IF (And it’s a big IF…)

NOT IF you’re an entrepreneurial genius.

NOT IF you’re a tech wizard.

But IF you can be CONSISTENT.

That’s where 99% of would-be online business owners fail.

You’re so busy looking for a silver bullet that you don’t notice the quiver of perfectly good arrows sitting right next to you. (The arrows are your existing strengths, in case that’s not clear. Weapons! They make great metaphors.)

You won’t need a premium checking account bursting with startup cash…

Or a board of experienced, powerful advisors…

Or a crack marketing team…

But you will need yourself.

And if you’re the kind of person who knows you can get the work done — then with with the right guidance YOU can live all those cliches of freedom and happiness too.

Without all that belly-fat-burning nonsense.

** We’ll be happy if we never see an ad like this again.

We’re Andrew Hansen & Sara Young

And despite both having had a business like this for the past 12 years, neither of us should have ever really “made it”.

Andrew started trying to build a business when he was 19, with no education, no experience, and no money. Sara started, and then continued to build her business while raising a family of 7 children. (think about that next time you feel like you “don’t have enough time”)

Both situations should have resulted in complete failure, and in the early years, they actually did.

We’ll skip the full life story, but here's a sample of our most remarkable screw-ups from those early days:

    1.

    Andrew drops out of university with the vague idea of starting an online business. His first achievement is to max out his kind Mom’s credit card without being able to show any financial result whatsoever. (Mom, if you’re reading, thanks again :))

    2.

    Sara decides to start a business instead of pursuing a promising career. For 2 years she hops from one strategy to another, never succeeding in anything and earning no money, while the growing family goes deeper into debt. Yay!

    3.

    Andrew works on his websites for 6 hours most nights, after coming home from a 9-5 job, and still fails to make any real money. “Isn’t it supposed to be “passive income?”

    4.

    Sara finally earns $10k/month by buying cheap Google ads to get traffic to her site. But shortly thereafter Google flags her site as low quality (which it was!), and her business goes from profit to loss overnight.

    5.

    Andrew builds low quality websites that get up to earning $100 a day. He feels like a huge success. A week later, all his sites are (obviously) deindexed by Google and his income reduces to $0.

    6.

    Even when Andrew finally starts to do well online, he gets scammed out of $25,000 (sadly not a typo) by a supposed online business “guru”. Andrew tries to forget this moment as often as he can.

    7.

    Sara was “only” scammed out of $10k once she started doing well. Sara had forgotten this incident until Andrew made her recall it for this sales page!

So yeah, it wasn’t exactly “smooth sailing”.

But… (and thank God there’s a but)...

Through some combination of stubbornness, persistence and accumulated knowledge about what “doesn’t work”, we had that one lovely moment where…

You make a sale.

Andrew’s earned him a whopping $19. Sara’s, an even better $10. Take a look at this from 2005!

Digital Worth Academy

When that happens, everything changes.

In an instant, the idea you held your whole life that money is "earned" in exchange for your time... comes crumbling to the ground.

The doors open and the dots connect, and you realize that if that 1 thing made that $10... You're gonna take 100 of those things please. Maybe 1,000!

"Making more money" becomes a matter of rinse and repeat.

(You feel unstoppable… kind of like this guy)

In the next 10 years we sold millions of dollars worth of products online. Last year, in a 12 month period, we earned more than $213,000 just in affiliate commissions, just from our main websites (not including our teaching business).

(We tried to compile all our Amazon screenshots together to show you that. Note that in Amazon “fees” are the fees they paid us.)

Digital Worth Academy

After 12 years, every type of screw up imaginable, and proudly now a long track record of success both with our own sites and our students', we’re confident we can show you what it takes to grow an income like this for yourself.

And it’s probably time, isn’t it?

I mean, let’s face it...

You’re here because

nothing you’ve tried has worked — right?

Wanting to make money online and be your own boss isn’t a fun idea that just popped into your head yesterday.

You’ve been interested (and invested) in this career for years.

But so far, nothing you’ve tried has worked…

Digital Worth Academy Member

While we’re talking about it, here are a few more “all too common” problems you won’t have to worry about with the Digital Worth business model...

    You won’t need to invest a ton of cash into advertising. You’ll build your site to attract high-quality, organic traffic from search engines. Once you start making revenue, you can decide whether or not you’d like to pay for more traffic.

    You won’t need to enter some niche market you’d be embarrassed to tell your friends about. After all, who wants to be known as the expert on topics like “chronic hemorrhoid treatment” or “cheating on your partner without getting caught”? In fact, many of our students are able to enter markets they have existing interest or knowledge in.

    You won’t need to harass your friends and family to buy weird stuff from you. Yeah, annoying MLM guy. We’re talking about you.

Digital Worth Academy takes you step-by-step through building an asset that creates genuine value for your visitors, and brings you revenue in return.

So you’ll never have to publish a desperate post on Facebook asking your friends to buy your essential oil blends so you can feed your cat this week...

Digital Worth Academy

^^^ It’s not a good look. And trust us, your cat hates it.

Oh, and another thing…

Building a content-driven website means you don’t have to provide customer service. That’s less of a drain on you, your time, and how you’d like to spend it.

To put it bluntly, Digital Worth Academy is unlike anything else you’ve tried because it WORKS.

Even if you’re a newbie. Even if you’re a cynic. Even if you’re a little gun-shy because the last online business-building program you bought left you $3k in debt, with a stockpile of XXL “Put A Bird On It!” slogan T-shirts.

As long as you’re willing to follow our instructions, you will be able to earn money from your own business. (No hemorrhoids necessary.)

From what I can tell, most others just sell the information products and don't have the kind of support network that Sara and Andrew provide post-sale. There's a Facebook group, a forum section of the DWA website, and coaching calls every 2 weeks so we can help each other out and Sara and Andrew can keep us constantly motivated and on the right track week after week.

The “How”: Our 6 Part Blueprint Grows Your Digital Asset From Idea, To Consistent Monthly Income

Now you know “what” you’ll be doing when you’re a Digital Worth Academy member, it’s time to see “how”.

Your success as an online business owner boils down to consistently, methodically doing the RIGHT things, in the RIGHT order.

That’s why we’ve broken the entire business building process down into tiny steps, and made an instructional video on each one.

Digital Worth Academy

There’s no secret sauce here — just the right ingredients and a step-by-step recipe

The Digital Asset Blueprint is 6 sections, more than 30 modules, and 150 “over the shoulder” videos detailing the entire process of building a profitable digital asset from scratch.

It’s so step-by-step, it might as well be walking.

This is it. The complete system you’ve been searching for. The jigsaw puzzle, with all pieces included.

It's the best of everything we've learned over the past 12 years.

And by following it, you skip happily over all the most common mistakes, on your way to success.

You watch one video at a time… you do what we do on the screen, and progress just happens...

The 6 sections break down like this...

Section 1: How To Pick Your Market

    No idea what topic you should start a site on?

    You’ll get a list of the only 8 markets worth starting in, and you’ll pick one of them to dive deeper on.

    No idea whether an idea will be profitable?

    We’ll show you how to see in advance, the likely profitability of any topic or market you choose.

Digital Worth Academy

(More on where this image comes from later…)

    Not sure whether a market will be too competitive?

    We’ll show you how to find the lowest competition corners of any market, so that getting up and running with visitors and sales is as quick and simple as possible.

    Worried you don’t have any interests or passions that would make for a profitable business?

    We show you how to marry the interests you do have with the commercial elements that would make them profitable, often in unexpected ways.

    Can’t imagine how you could beat the other websites doing this?

    You’ll learn how to identify a unique angle that sets you apart and increases your asset’s income potential.

Section 2: How To Build Your Digital Asset

Forget “coding” or HTML, or “technical” skill.

In this module we’ll show you a simple way to get your Google friendly, WordPress driven Digital Asset website off the ground... even if you still type with two fingers.

You will learn how to get your domain name and a hosting account, and how to establish your site with a professional look.

We’ll then go over the setup of your tracking tools and a sprinkle of advanced analytics so you’re gathering delicious data from day 1.

testimonial Digital Worth Academy

With a chronic illness and a teenager with autism who needs a fair amount of attention, working in a regular job was getting hard. I’d made a few attempts over the years to build a business online but without much success. When I stumbled across your program, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I would never have achieved the results I’m seeing today without it. [Best month: $3,799] The support you gave not only in the application of the training but in acknowledging and helping us push through the mental barriers that hold people back, was invaluable. “So many of my friends are now envious that I get to work from home (or anywhere really) on my own online business during the hours that suit me. I love doing this, and couldn’t have done it without taking that leap of faith and investing in your program.

Section 4: Turning Your First Visitors Into A Flow Of Traffic

In particular you’ll learn:

    How to position and display your affiliate links & product images to achieve maximum click through rate (comparison tables, product boxes and much more)

    And much more.

Understand: If you’ve completed all of that, you’ll have your digital asset up and running. Most likely it’ll be getting traffic, and quite likely, you’ll have made your first sale.

We’re always adding in new promotional strategies, and advanced tweaks to the most important parts of the process, but essentially, this is it.

From here’s it’s rinse and repeat.

Where Other Courses Fail: How to guarantee that information becomes ACTION

You saw the steps. That’s what you’re going to do.

But like we said earlier, actually doing it is another story.

Imagine you wanted to learn tennis. Imagine we said “Here are a set of videos of us playing tennis and explaining what we’re doing. Enjoy!”

You take your laptop out to the tennis court. You set it up, press play, and start hitting balls. Sure, it’s helpful. You’d rather have those videos than not have them.

But if you want to learn tennis as quickly as possible, is it really the best you can do?

No.

The best anyone can do is get a coach

Obviously that’s true. Most people who want to do most things at a higher than average level use coaches: Sports people, actors, professionals.

Having a coach who can watch what you’re doing and explain how best to implement the strategy based on your situation, strengths and weaknesses? It’s invaluable.

It allows you to progress at an exponentially faster rate.

Why?

Because the personal attention of a coach can help you overcome barriers that may have held you back for years... but that no “how to” course ever addressed because it wasn't personal to you.

It’s game changing, and that’s why it’s a core component of the Digital Worth Academy experience.

When you're a Digital Worth Academy member, we’re your coach

The Unfair Advantage: How our private software arsenal and vetted outsource staff let you grow your business better, faster and easier than everyone else

In the lasts few years, there have been a few high profile Digital Assets that were sold for eye watering sums.

The most talked about, was a website called The Wire Cutter, which sold to the New York Times for more than $30 million dollars.

Wirecutter

The business you’ll build can be run at a very high level too.

And when it is run at a high level, it’s never the case that the owner just does everything themselves.

Among other things, they have team members and advanced software tools that give them an advantage over their competitors.

Because our sites are well developed now, that’s what we do too. We developed our own software tools to help streamline our processes, and we use experienced, well trained staff to complete the day to day tasks of growing this kind of business.

You get where this is going…

As part of your Digital Worth Academy membership, we’ve made our private custom software tools and some of our best outsource staff members available to you.

So you have the unfair advantages that are usually reserved for large companies with enormous budgets.

Specifically, these advantages are:

Unfair Advantage #1: Commission Wizard Software

Commission Wizard

Most people struggle to decide which products they should talk about (and sell) on their sites. This part is pretty important. You know, because it’s how you make money.

Which products will make the most commission? How will you find the ones that aren’t smothered by competition already? How will you know which products you’ll actually be able to get traffic to and make money with?

Choosing where to start can range from confusing to anxiety inducing: “What happens if I get it wrong?!”

DWA students have this part of the process taken care of by our members only software tool called Commission Wizard.

CW (as we call it) sifts through millions of products on the internet, based on a category you give it, and spits you out the products that are performing best in their categories.

A lot of times they’re products you never thought of and opportunities you never expected.

And they make money. The data is there to prove it.
