TL;DR: Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 is a free Skool community with 134.8k members and a 4.2 average rating from 5 approved reviews on KoolReviews. Members praise the welcoming vibe, actionable guides, and engaged admin. The main downsides are inconsistent activity and an onboarding process that could be smoother. If you want a free, beginner-friendly entry into digital marketing, it is one of the stronger options in the Money category. But it is not perfect.
What is Digital Wealth Academy 3.0?
Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 is a free Skool community in the Money category focused on monetizing online with digital marketing. It sits in the most crowded category on the platform, with 381 communities tracked in KoolReviews.
That it's free alone makes it interesting. Most Skool communities in the Money space either charge monthly or gate the good stuff behind an upsell. DWA 3.0 does not do that, at least not at the front door.
With 134.8k members, it is one of the larger free communities in the category. For context, Online Business Friends has 86.8k members and Davie's Free Ecom Course has 71.8k. DWA 3.0 is roughly double the size of most comparable free Money communities.
The rating breakdown
As of today, Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 has a 4.2 average rating from 5 approved reviews on KoolReviews.
Here is how those ratings break down:
- 5 stars: 2 reviews
- 4 stars: 2 reviews
- 3 stars: 1 review
No one gave it a 1 or 2. That is a decent signal, though five reviews is still a small sample. I would not treat this as a definitive score, but the trend is clearly positive.
Two of the five reviewers are verified members (meaning they proved they were actually in the community through Skool profile verification). One is an observer, and two are self-reported members. The verified reviews both gave 5 stars, which is worth noting.
What members like
I pulled the pros directly from the approved reviews. These are the themes that kept showing up.
The vibe is actually good
This came up in multiple reviews. People describe the community as welcoming and not spammy.
"What sets it apart is the culture around marketing. People answer questions thoughtfully instead of just promoting their own stuff." -- Autumn
That is a real differentiator. A lot of free Skool communities in the Money space turn into self-promotion wastelands within a few months. DWA 3.0 apparently avoids that, at least based on what reviewers are saying.
Blake echoed the same thing, listing "Welcoming vibe" as a pro after five months in the community.
Actionable content
Jenny specifically called out the step-by-step guides on affiliate marketing and digital products:
"The modules on affiliate marketing and digital products are genuinely useful. I made my first $200 online following their step-by-step guides." -- Jenny
That is a concrete result. Not "I learned a lot" or "great mindset content." An actual dollar amount tied to the training. I see that kind of specificity maybe once in every 20 reviews.
Engaged admin
Robert, a verified member, highlighted clean organization, good moderation, and useful content. Blake separately mentioned that the admin is engaged. When the person running a community is visibly active, the quality floor tends to stay higher.
What members don't like
No community is flawless. Here are the real downsides from the reviews.
Inconsistent energy
Priya gave DWA 3.0 a 3-star review and hit on something important:
"Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 has some good marketing content but the energy fluctuates. Some weeks I get real value, other weeks I forget to check in." -- Priya
That tracks with what I see in a lot of large free communities. Engagement comes in waves. When the admin is posting regularly, things are active. When they are not, the community goes quiet. With 134.8k members, the sheer volume of people should create baseline activity, but it sounds like the content calendar is not always consistent.
Onboarding needs work
Blake mentioned that "onboarding could be clearer." For a community that targets beginners, this matters. If someone joins and cannot figure out where to start, the first impression is confusion. That is a fixable problem, but it has not been fixed yet.
Some dated content
Jenny noted that "some modules feel dated," and Autumn mentioned "some outdated threads." This is a common issue with free communities. Paid communities have revenue pressure to keep content fresh. Free communities have to rely on the admin's motivation.
Live calls are limited
Jenny wanted more frequent live calls:
"Wish the live calls were more frequent though, sometimes you have to wait a week to get feedback." -- Jenny
Weekly calls are not bad, but if that is your only way to get direct feedback, it can slow your progress. Depending on your timezone, you might miss them entirely.
Who should join Digital Wealth Academy 3.0
Based on the review data, here is who this community fits best.
Good fit if you are:
- A complete beginner looking to learn digital marketing basics
- Someone who wants free access without a paywall or upsell pressure
- Looking for a community with a non-spammy culture
- Comfortable being self-directed (the onboarding is not hand-holding)
Not the best fit if you are:
- An intermediate or advanced marketer looking for cutting-edge tactics
- Someone who needs daily live support or coaching
- Looking for a tight-knit, small-group accountability setup
How it compares to alternatives
Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 is one of several free Money communities with real reviews on KoolReviews. Here is how it stacks up.
| Community | Members | Price | Avg Rating | Reviews | |-----------|---------|-------|------------|---------| | Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 | 134.8k | Free | 4.2 | 5 | | The Founders Club | 61.8k | Free | 4.67 | 3 | | Online Business Friends | 86.8k | Free | 3.0 | 3 | | Imperium Academy | 50.7k | Free | 3.67 | 3 | | Davie's Free Ecom Course | 71.8k | Free | 4.5 | 2 |
DWA 3.0 has the most reviews and the largest member count of this group. The Founders Club has a higher average rating (4.67) but fewer reviews. Online Business Friends is bigger than most but sits at a 3.0 average, which is not great.

The verdict
Digital Wealth Academy 3.0 earns its 4.2 rating. It is a solid free community for beginners who want to learn digital marketing without paying upfront. The culture is genuinely good for a free community, the content is mostly actionable, and the admin stays involved.
The weak spots are real: inconsistent engagement, dated threads, and an onboarding process that could use attention. But none of those are dealbreakers for a free community. You are not losing money if it turns out to be a 7 out of 10 instead of a 9.
If I were starting from scratch and wanted a free entry point into digital marketing on Skool, I would join DWA 3.0 and The Founders Club and spend a month in each before committing deeper to either one.

Should you trust these reviews?
Five reviews is a small sample. I want to be upfront about that.
The rating could shift significantly with a few more submissions. Two of the five reviews come from verified members, which adds credibility, but I would feel a lot better about the 4.2 average if it had 15 or 20 reviews behind it.
That said, the consistency across reviewers is notable. Even the 3-star review did not say the community was bad. It said the energy fluctuates. That is a very different critique than "this is a scam" or "the content is useless."
Take the rating as directional, not definitive. And if you join, come back and leave your own review to make it more definitive for the next person.
