Back to the DWA deep dive—where I sit through hours of course content so you don’t have to.
We’ve covered email marketing, branding, and mindset, now we’re in social media land—where a big chunk of this course lives.
I opened DWA, took one look, and thought: Sh*t, it’s all about Instagram.
So does DWA actually teach you how to grow and monetize on social media or is it just a rehash of the same advice across multiple modules? Let’s see.
DWA Summary (So far)
Digital Wealth Academy is a digital marketing course designed to help you launch an online business—kind of. It covers the basics: creating and selling digital products, marketing your personal brand, and setting up a business that hopefully makes money.
You’ll find lessons on branding, social media marketing and sales funnels—basically, a crash course in online business. And unlike a lot of programs out there, you pay once and get lifetime access (no sneaky monthly fees).
Now, let’s talk about what’s really going on. DWA started with a master resell rights model, meaning you could buy the course once and resell it for 100% profit. But now? They’re shifting to an affiliate model with an 85% commission.
Why the change? To crack down on fraud and keep the course sustainable. The new model helps ensure ongoing updates, better support, and a long-term business approach—rather than just flipping the same course over and over.
If you were planning to resell DWA as your main business, this shift changes the game. But in the long run, it might be a better setup for those actually looking to build something lasting.
For beginners, Digital Wealth Academy gives you a decent foundation—but if you’re expecting a step-by-step roadmap to long-term success, you’ll need to fill in some gaps on your own (maybe a lot of gaps).
Attraction Marketing – A Solid Start in Digital Marketing
If you’ve ever felt grossed out by the idea of selling, attraction marketing is your new best friend. It’s all about making people come to you instead of chasing them down like a desperate car salesman.
Key takeaways:
- Stop begging for sales. Be the product people want.
- Use curiosity marketing—hint at what’s coming, tease results and make people ask for more.* Show, don’t tell—share your story, struggles and wins to build connection.
- Trust sells more than any perfect pitch ever will.
It’s a smart, beginner-friendly take on selling—minus the cringy MLM vibes. If you’re just starting out, this module alone is worth checking out (but not worth the full course price, mind you!) if you want to build a real digital marketing business.
Instagram Modules – The Core of a Digital Marketing Course
Hope you like Instagram because this course is obsessed with it.
DWA treats Instagram like it’s the only platform that matters, covering:
- Selling in Stories – 5 step formula to turn casual viewers into buyers.
- DM Sales – How to close deals in the DMs without sounding like a bot.
- Reels & CapCut Editing – Hooks, trends and making videos pop.
- Photography & Videography – Yes, there’s a whole section on this.
The catch? The “Content Creation” module is entirely focused on Instagram—no YouTube, no TikTok, no multi-platform strategy.
If IG is your main focus, great. If not? You might feel a little left out.
Canva Essentials – Basic, But That’s Okay
It’s Canva. You drag and drop pretty things.
This module teaches beginners how to:
- Design graphics, freebies and lead magnets.
- Use Canva templates (instead of making ugly DIY designs).
- Speed up content creation with shortcuts and branding tools.
Nothing groundbreaking but DWA is a beginner friendly course so it does the job.
TikTok & TikTok Shop – Quick Fame or Long-Term Growth?
If you’re here to build a long-term business, this module might feel a little too… TikTok-y.
Here’s what it covers:
- How to go viral (aka, riding the trend wave).
- Making money on TikTok – TikTok Shop, Creator Fund, and other monetization methods.
- Keeping people hooked – structuring videos so viewers don’t scroll away.
What’s missing? A real strategy for long-term success.
If you’re just looking for quick views and short-term wins, great. But if you want a sustainable TikTok game plan that works beyond trends, this module might leave you hanging. Or I might know nothing about TikTok, we’ll never know 
YouTube – Own Personal Brand Over Strategy
Taught by Richard (who if you don’t vibe with makes this module hard to sit through). The focus? Building a personal brand through long-form content.
Here’s what it teaches:
- The KLT method (Know, Like, Trust) – making people feel like they actually know you.
- The 5×5 strategy – finding viral topics and putting your own spin on them.
- Making your videos click-worthy – nailing titles, thumbnails, and intros to keep viewers hooked.
It’s a good starting point for beginners, but if you’re looking for deep dives into SEO, analytics, or serious monetization strategies, this module doesn’t go that far.
Selling on Facebook – Surprisingly Good Way to Sell Digital Products
DWA covers Facebook Groups as a sales machine, teaching:
- How to nurture a community that buys from you.
- Using featured posts, automation and engagement tricks to boost sales.
- Monetization strategies—subscriptions, affiliate links and even selling ad space.
The catch? No catch on this one. The content is solid, straight to the point and beginner-friendly. It’s one of the few modules that doesn’t feel like a repeat of something else
The Art of Influence – Didn’t We Cover This Already?
This module talks about:
- Finding your niche (already covered in Attraction Marketing & Faceless Marketing).
- Content 101 (already in Instagram, TikTok and YouTube sections).
- Community building (again, already covered elsewhere).
- Brand deals (potentially useful, but unknown depth).
At this point it’s just more of the same. Unless the brand deals section delivers gold, you’re better off skipping this one.
Building a Successful Online Business (Or At Least, That’s the Promise)
Starting an online business takes more than just a good idea and a Canva account. You need real marketing skills, a solid sales strategy, and a way to make people actually want to buy from you.
DWA claims to teach all of that, covering:
- Creating & selling digital products (because passive income isn’t actually passive).
- Building an email list (AKA, your safety net when social media dies).
- Sales funnels, automation, content strategy, affiliate marketing, branding—basically, all the buzzwords.
One of DWA’s selling points is the Resell Rights Vault, which gives you digital products like the Digital Wealth Guide, Ultimate Reels Guide, and Social Media Planner—things you can use or sell as your own. Cool bonus, but not a game-changer.
Now, does DWA actually teach you how to build a sustainable, successful online business? Kind of. There’s value here and you might be able to money online. But you’ll need to fill in some gaps if you want to build something beyond reselling the course itself. If you want a deeper strategy outside of IG posts and digital downloads, you’ll need more than just DWA.
Conclusion: Good Content, Too Much Duplication
Here’s the deal:
- If you’re new to social media marketing, DWA is a solid start.
- If you want to be an Instagram master, you’ll get plenty of insight and how-tos.
- If you’re looking for multi-platform coverage, you will be disappointed.
Biggest flaw? Too much repetition. You’ll sit through multiple modules covering the same content just with different names. I know repetition is good for beginners, I get it. In my opinion, this goes a bit too far.
Who should take this? If you’re a beginner who wants to focus on Instagram-first marketing, you’ll get value. If you want a full platform strategy, you’ll need to fill in the gaps elsewhere (lots of gaps).
