So, I'm fairly new here on the forum, but have been in the fastlane community for quite some time now, and have decided that I want to try, at least once or twice, to create a really nice Udemy course. I have some questions, and maybe someone that has made a course on there have some tips.
FYI: I work as a fulltime professional software developer and tend to teach something I know from that field. / the study more efficient thing because I am self taught.
- Is it any reason to create a free course first? I kinda want to do it to provide value and hopefully build a small follower base.
- What is the best course, something niche, like a certain techonolgy / library in a certain programming language? or, a course on how to study more efficient (broad subject to reach more people)?
- I know Udemy markets courses and takes a big cut, what would be the best way to market / build a follower base on my own? Do I need to brand myself?
I have a full-time income from Udemy. Don't make a free course. Make the best course you can make in a month. Start building an email list asap. Don't launch until you have some people ready to buy or your course will crash and burn, never to be seen or heard from again.
