digital creatives academy
your digital dream career is here
Never have I ever…
— Felt trapped in my 9-5 daydreaming about more work-life balance.
— Made barely enough to survive while feeling overworked.
-- Signed up for thousands of dollars of debt for a degree I didn't use.
— Been unable to control my schedule or my time because of work.
— Had to leave a vacation early or not go at all because I couldn't get time off.
— Woke up every morning dreading my day because I hate my job but need to support my family and my future.
— Felt like the corporate world was preventing me from spending time with the ones I love the most.
You wake up in the morning, when YOU want to.
Instead of getting the Sunday scaries, now you actually look forward to waking up on Monday because not only do you work with amazing clients doing what you love, YOU decide how much money you make while doing it.
Instead of taking a nap in your car during your lunch break, you get to clock out early to go on a walk with your dog and brainstorm where your next vacation will be. No more asking for PTO or forfeiting family trips because you're worried about missing a paycheck.
You no longer have someone else deciding when you get a promotion because now you have the tools to grow your business and income at any moment.
take a trip with me and
picture this...
OH WAIT... I'VE EXPERIENCED every single one of those.
SOUNDS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE, RIGHT?
Until I decided enough was enough and decided to ditch it all for an online career where I have full control of my life. Now, you can too.
My students have gone from making $600/month to making 6 figures/year online, all without past experience or a college degree.
DCA isn’t over yet, but I've made 4200 so far and officially made my investment back this week!!! Wooo!! When I get fully booked out I should be making 4500 a month off of client work!!
TESSA SIEBEL
YESSS! Quit my corporate job the month I started DCA. I have not only made my DcA investment back, BUT also have gotten back the investments made with the Digital Millennials Masterclass , the 60 min. strategy call, your PDF Guide, the small courses I bought in between AND saved money on top of that. My mindset now has been opened up to seeing the possibilities I didn't know were possible.
carolina perez
okay you guys! i just got my first client! i’m getting paid to work online and it’s week two! whaaaat?! it’s actually happening!
DELILAH CURRIER
I was trying to DIY being a VA and not making any traction with clients. Between the modules, coaching, and guest speakers, it felt like a secret sauce that unlocked my potential for my business. My first reel after starting DCA got me client inquiries, and I had posted several before. in week 10, I was able to resign from my teaching job for the next school year!
MIRANDA DALTON
I was able to quit my 9-5, replace my corporate income and make MORE, grow my confidence within my work, meet new people, make amazing connections and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities and growth that I can see in myself and my business. It was entirely worth the investment and the best thing I have ever done!
Carla Vicente
DCA has truly set me up for the rest of my life. I know that's such a huge statement but it's true. Being apart of DCA took a distant dream of mine to a reality and completely changed the course of my future for the better. Being confident when I say that I'm SUCCESSFUL and I LOVE my job is the biggest win of my life so far.
hannah gogan
I was very hesitant to invest in this program because I wasn't sure if I would follow through with it and if it would be worth it. But I have no regrets!! it was so worth it. it's honestly amazing and I think it’s the best route to take if you want to invest in yourself and start your business online. seriously, a life changing program.
KAILEE KONG
I know how you're feeling...
because I've felt the same way
My situation is unique -- I didn't hate my 9-5 (it was more like a 7-7). But even though I liked my boss, coworkers and was good at what I did, it still left me exhausted and crying in my apartment when I got home.
No matter how hard I worked, I couldn't get ahead of the 20k debt or feeling that I was bound to live working 60+ hours/week for the rest of my life in order to survive.
I was burnt out, struggling with my mental health and at a breaking point, ready for a drastic change.
you're stuck in a never-ending loop
You wake up, dreading going into a job you don't like
You constantly search for "work from home jobs"
You watch others successfully start their business online, wishing it was you
You want more money and freedom, but you're scared to try something new
or should i say nightmare.
You get close to starting, but tell yourself "I'll do it when..."
...and repeat
You're sick of this loop. you want to feel
Other people in your life likely won't understand your desire for more. If you're anything like me, you've had a sneaky feeling that you aren't destined to be stuck in a cubicle, clocking in and out, for the rest of your life.
The online space has changed the career landscape - you no longer need a degree or years of experience to build a million dollar business. My students have gone from broke to $10k/month within a matter of weeks.
OF COURSE YOU WANT THAT, AND YOU DESERVE IT.
CORPORATE COULD NEVER.

"By the time I finished DCA I had already had a 5k month. Now I work for an author as the VP of communications and I get to travel for work. I never would have thought I'd be in this position and I'm so grateful I found DCA and Jess"
- tessa
THEY'VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES
Landed a $5k month before even finishing DCA.
Hired full-time as VP of Communications for an author.
Founded 'the digital T.', a creative agency specializing in social media strategy and content creation.
Transitioned from corporate sales to a successful freelancing career through DCA training.
"Before DCA I was jobless and lost. I was super skeptical and terrified to invest but I'm so happy I took the leap of faith. I got my first couple of clients a few weeks into DCA and by the end of it, I was booked out. As long as you do the work and have undeniable faith in yourself, this will work."
- abi
Went from jobless and living on $300/month to fully booked by the end of DCA
Made his entire investment back before graduating the program
Built a thriving VA business serving inclusive & LGBTQ+ wedding creatives
Gained lifelong friendships and a supportive network through DCA
AND IF THEY CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO

IT ONLY FEELS IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S NEW.
ONE DAY IN DCA WILL HAVE YOU BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF, REALIZING THIS IS FULLY DOABLE.
Sure, you could sit there creating a million reasons why you shouldn't start an online business. You don't have enough experience, it's not the right time, you're busy, the list goes on...
I could probably guess word-for-word how your mind is trying to keep you in your comfort zone, because I've been there.
But eventually, you will hit a crossroads (or already have) and will realize that you only have two options:
Stay exactly where you are and guarantee that you'll stay unhappy or...
Give yourself the chance to reach your full potential and change your entire life throughout the process.
Once you take that first step and begin to see for yourself how doable it is to make 6+ figures online without experience, you'll never look back.
the first step is the hardest part
AND there WILL
NEVER BE A "RIGHT" TIME.

your seasoned academy coach
jess hawks | coach
I stumbled across the role of a Virtual Assistant a few years ago and tbh, I thought it sounded WAY too good to be true. I was 20k in debt, a college dropout, working 60+ hours a week and LOST with what I wanted my life to look like.
Once I decided to dive all in, I replaced my 9-5 income within 6 weeks and within 4 months, I was making 9-10k/MONTH!
I started to see my dream life appearing before my very eyes. I LOVED waking up for work, I could spend my mornings to myself (cause your girl is NOT a morning person), book hair/nail appointments whenever I wanted, pay off 20k worth of debt, buy my car in cash, purchase my dream home, invest multiple figures, go visit my family out of state at the drop of a hat and ultimately, the feeling of "what am I doing with my life?" was gone.
meet your coach
I knew that there had to be SO many others out there in my same situation before starting my business. I wanted to show people who knew that were meant for more that they could have everything they dreamed of, even when society said it was "unrealistic".
Since then, I've taught over 6,000 students to build REAL online businesses.
My students have gone on to build multiple 6 + 7 figure businesses, be featured in Business Insider, travel the world, make a full time income while working part time hours, become experts in their industries, finally have the chance to be a stay at home parent, feel excitement instead of nerves when they check their bank account, buy land, build their dream house, have time to focus on their health and say "Look at me now." to anyone who ever doubted them.
And guess what? SO many of them did it with no college degree and zero experience working online.
but i didn't stop there, i wanted to create a revolution.

DCA is for you if…
dca is not for you if…
You’re ready to dive into the online business industry and want an exact roadmap for surpassing your corporate income.
You’re looking to invest in a quality educational experience that hands you every tool you’ll need to get started.
You’re a self starter with a bold drive to leave your career comfort zone and expand into a new job.
You’re looking for a self-paced, kick starter to fast track your direct route to success.
You’re looking for a low-investment education that allows you to dabble in committing to a new career idea.
You struggle with procrastination and don’t feel driven to leave your current job, even if it means more income & freedom.
You’re already a pro at working online in a niche industry and have solid skills in business software, content and sales.
You know exactly how to create content that makes you a magnet to potential clients.
Have You Ever...
The difference between you and them is that YOU realize there's another way. Things have changed and you no longer need a degree to:
- Travel the world and make money while doing it
- Wake up to payment notifications from your clients
- Be a stay at home parent because your business lets you make a full time income while working part time
- Decide your own schedule
- Take sick days or time off whenever you need it
- Have money to invest and prepare for early retirement
been told that you have to go the traditional route in order to be successful? that you're the weird one for feeling like you're meant for more?
dca changes lives every day...
there is no other course in the online space that goes as in depth as DCA
Starting an entirely new career is intimidating. And if you're feeling scared (but also excited), that's normal. My students have seen such fast, incredible success because of the fact that no stone has been left unturned.
When you're a beginner, you need the small AND large details. You need an understanding of exactly how to create results and reach your goals, not just vague information that leaves you confused.
This is the problem that DCA solves for you.

I have not only made my dca investment back, but also have gotten back the investments made with the digital millennials masterclass, the 60 min. strategy call, your pdf guide, the small courses i bought in between and saved money on top of that."
