resolved issue professionally
edit: they resolved this issue, so my previous review is now in parenthesis. I'll keep it in the actual review for now to show how the Brandon Timothy team does indeed consider the perspective of their customers and do their best to make things right.
Apparently, after speaking with them about a refund and how from my perspective I felt it could qualify, although they didn't fully agree with my argument, they did at least understand/empathize with some of the points I made so decided to issue me the refund as requested. However, for some reason it didn't go through to my credit card company. They were able to verify that the refund didn't go through and sent me the refund via Paypal so they knew I'd get it. They also changed the description of their refund policy on Google search to better explain their intention for the program.
They also upped the price again from the Easter sale they had, so it makes me feel like they really do listen to feedback and are doing their best to do right by people
Although their main method of getting your first Etsy review is petitioning friends and family, they do have some other methods that I won't share since it's their proprietary information. They're just a bit "out of the way", however, once you get the first few reviews they have plenty of resources to scale at that point. I suppose there has to be a point where you do the work and get out of you comfort zone, too.
All said and done, the actual content of the program delivers on being able to build an Etsy store. The community really does help their own. And they do their best to do right by people. From my experience, they are trustworthy
(Advertised an "Easter sale", but kept the price as that since then. During that time, when you searched for their refund policy, they had a different meta description (which can be changed in your SEO settings) with a misleading refund policy description
Due to unforeseen changes in my circumstances, I requested the refund per the description that they allowed to be searchable, but they didn't hold to the words they presented themselves on per the search description. I ended up saying I wouldn't respond to the "support" anymore out of frustration.
Instead, they changed the description of their SEO search, indicating that they knew how to change it and that someone in the organization agreed it was a sketchy way of generating sales
They say they can guarantee sales, but require you to ask your loved ones for said sales. Date of experience is an estimate)

Excellent Course for Beginner Seller
DFA is my first course as an Etsy seller, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The material is clear, straightforward, and super easy to understand. The beginner-friendly structure helped me set up my Etsy shop in about four months. Whenever I had questions about the course or anything Etsy-related, I could post them on the Community Board or ask during the weekly live calls. Brandon and his team always had great answers. Even if they don’t have an immediate answer, they’ll discuss it and do their best to help. I love that the course focuses on digital products, so there’s no need for a large initial investment. Overall, I highly recommend this course!

Great Investment + Supportive Community!
One of the best decisions I've made so far is joining this community. At first, I was a bit hesitant, as it was a bit pricey, but rest assured I've gotten my money's worth here! The course was very informative and insightful, and I felt more than prepared to tackle the challenge of starting an Etsy business by the time I had finished it. The supportive and loving community was a plus honestly. Everyone in the community is so nice and helpful, and I spend a lot of my time just going through old and new posts. I had a minor complication with my monthly payments at one point, but Brandon's team was quick to action and the problem was solved within the same day. All in all, highly valuable course, awesome people and amazing service. I recommend this course 100% to anyone wanting to become a successful Etsy business owner!

Worth the investment
I am very impressed with Brandon Timothy's Digital Freedom Academy. His teaching modules are clear, the process is well thought out, and his support, as well as that of the coaches and other members, is excellent. I have felt supported throughout the journey of creating an Etsy shop. Brandon is very professional which makes a difference as well. He know his stuff. I highly recommend his program (and I have been in many courses over the years.)

Good value for purchased
I've completed all of the first round of classes and a huge thank you to Brandon for hosting this class. It explains simply yet in depth many details that I would never have noticed if I were doing it myself.
I wish I had joined this course earlier so I could have hit the ground running and not just kept watching all these YouTube videos.
The friendly community is an added bonus. It helps keep me motivated.
With all the knowledge and benefits gained from the course, I believe I am on the path to success.
Very clear and easy to follow programme
Brandon's course is a no-nonsense approach to gaining success on Etsy. Every module and chapter is explained in a very simple and easy-to-follow manner. Very clear and actionable steps to follow makes the entire process of setting up your shop and running it so smooth. The focus on etsy SEO was the biggest learning for me that made a difference. I already have 70 sales 1.5 months after putting in my first listing. With the market research, that Brandon has taught in the course I knew I would start having sales pretty soon but I wasn't expecting so many sales that quickly. Thank you Brandon for crafting such a beautiful easy to follow course. I bless you every time I hear a cha-ching!
Amazing learning platform, I highly recommend it!
Finally something easy to understand, all the important information in a format that is very comfortable to follow. Amazing support in the community and from the team. I am very grateful that I have found you and with your help finally made all the moves I wanted, and learned so much. Thank you!
Comprehensive overview and quality knowledge transfer!
I joined the course to understand the principles of creating digital products and opening an online store. Brandon helped me gain a comprehensive overview of the process and tools I need. I highly recommend this course!
Grateful for this life-changing journey!
Thank you, Brandon, for these courses! I've taken several courses before, but I've never seen such concrete and zero-fluff content! I can't believe I have the chance to take your courses and be accompanied by a real professional like you! You are so kind and smart, thank you so much!
I learned to think strategically, and now I create better listings and branding assets.
I'm sincerely grateful for this life-changing journey and wholeheartedly encourage others to embrace it! Don't hesitate, take the leap!
I highly recommend the course and Brandon
I highly recommend this course. The digital products/Etsy space is full of influencers and gurus who sell you exactly what you want to hear. They sell you this story of making millions with a very low-effort approach. Brandon on the other hand, is honest and does not sugarcoat. He understands and communicates that selling digital products requires a strategic approach paired with hard work. He simply gives you the tools that he learned along his path to success. I know it sounds funny, but he is very "human". You can tell that he cares about his students and takes pride in his work. I could write an essay but don't hesitate to take the course. It's a bit pricey, but I would say the value is certainly there.
I highly recommend Brandon's Digital…
I highly recommend Brandon's Digital Freedom Academy! Following his modules I was able to launch my store in 2 months while having a full time job. It was super easy to follow and with Brandon's weekly live check-ins the process was seamless. I am so excited to see what the future holds with my new store. Thank you Brandon and team!
First Time Etsy Seller
I started the Digital Freedom Academy after watching Brandon Timothy on YouTube! I was inspired by his success and have always wanted to try to sell on Etsy myself, but never had the knowledge base to do so. The course was well laid out and I was able to jump in and start learning the first steps of selling on Etsy! And after about a month of learning from Brandon's course I was able to open up my shop! Within a week I was able to make organic sales and now, almost a month in, I am almost at 100 sales!
The DFA community is also great, everyone is so encouraging and helpful! If you want to start your Etsy journey and don't know where to begin, start here with Brandon's course!

Highly recommend!
Highly recommend!! I started an Etsy shop before joining the DFA and it was not successful because I had no structured plan. After joining DFA I had a clear path to follow which is what I was missing before. I have been able to make sales after using everything I learned while following the 10 day launch plan and I am so grateful!! I love that there is also an option to ask Brandon for advice on the weekly coaching call so you can get extra support. The DFA community is so supportive as well. If you are looking to start up an Etsy shop with digital products it is worth the investment.

From Ideas to Etsy Triumph!
Enrolling in Brandon's Digital Freedom Academy was a turning point for me in starting my Etsy journey. His guidance helped me understand the ins and outs of creating and managing a shop for digital products.
What I appreciated most about Brandon's course was its clear structure and the strong sense of community support. It felt like being part of a collaborative effort with fellow learners, making the whole process more engaging and less intimidating.
The supportive community made navigating Etsy much smoother. It was more than just a class; it felt like having a group of friends cheering each other on through every step.
Now, as my Etsy brand continues to grow, I credit my success to Brandon's course and his mentorship. More than anything, DFA is a practical guide that turned my business aspirations into a reality. I'm genuinely thankful for this transformative experience and cannot recommend it more! Go for it!

Unbelievable sales on my new shop
I am so happy that I am a part of DFA, it changed my life so much. Previously I had a shop that was not successful and I didn’t make any sales then I joined Brandon’s course and everything changed!! I opened my new shop with all the tips that Brandon provided. As a beginner, his lectures are very useful and informative to be successful. I still cannot believe how successful I am and making great sales. Definitely, 100% recommend it!!
