Re: I honestly regret making my first course

On one hand I totally feel you and understand your pain and frustration. I know how much work it takes to produce a course and it sucks when it goes nowhere.

On the other hand I'm really confused about what you expected exactly.

I checked the Market place Insights tool, and for the topic you chose the top monthly revenue is $800. You are the 3rd top earner with a good looking course and promo. Your rating is also very good. What exactly did you expect that didn't happen?

I am sorry you are so frustrated. It is tough when you have put in so much effort and it isn't appreciated. Your course has a 4.5 rating which is good, so I wouldn't worry about a few negative reviews, we all get them. The question is "how can you improve?"

It is just a fact that Udemy marketplace is now very competitive. Your topic, Azure, has a lot of very good competition. The trick is always to ask yourself, "So, why would someone buy my course rather than the competition?"

The best selling instructors all have multiple courses. I see Scott Duffy, probably the best selling instructor in this space, has 45 courses so he has built up his own brand and a "fan base." That is a huge advantage. I think what this says is that to succeed you have to be strategic and plan to build a portfolio of excellent courses. Yes, that is a big challenge, but the payoff is also big.

Good luck.
