He owns an education company called Digital Doctor where they’re helping doctors build passive income with online courses.

During COVID-19, Dr. Zoda was working 80-100 work weeks and feeling burned out and overworked. He decided to spend 2-3 hours on weekends starting an online course business teaching digital marketing using Facebook advertising. His first course made $5,000 in the first month.

Building Digital Doctor

With the burnout Chester experienced, he desperately started looking at different ways to earn income. He focused on creating a cash flow generating asset that makes money while sleeping. That would enable him to spend more time with his family and do the things that he loves.

He realized that the opportunity was simply packaging the expertise from his medical training and sharing it in a digital course. So, Chester started teaching small e-commerce businesses. He then began helping a small group of doctors. After 2 years, he is now serving over 350 healthcare providers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other medical providers to use online courses inside his Digital Doctor community.

4 Steps to Teaching Clinicians to Use Online Courses

  1. Getting Started
    Understand that there’s a huge market out there that’s underserved and desperate for your knowledge. You can help a lot of people, especially in the online world. But you must stop procrastinating.
  2. Selling
    What they do in the Digital Doctor program is to give their students a proven sales process that turns a complete stranger into a paying student within the first 14 days. Notice that “selling” comes before “building.”
  3. Building
    In this step, you package the online course into a consumable format for the customer. For doctors, many already do academic presentations at conferences. So you can use those skills to create your courses.
  4. Automation
    With automation, Chester teaches you how to turn your online course on autopilot. In so doing, it produces cash flow for you, even while you sleep or do what you love. His business provides all the templates for you, and proprietary tech support. 

Words of Encouragement

Look at your life like a GPS. Get clear with where you are, get clear with where you want to go, and then find a vehicle that can get you there in the most predictable way possible. It’s not about looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. – Chester Zoda, MD
