First-Time Course Creator: Advice for Post-Launch Success

Hey everyone,

I’m wrapping up the final touches on my first Udemy course, and I’m excited to launch soon! I didn’t do any initial testing or pre-selling before creating it. For those of you who were in a similar position, what were your results like the first time you posted your course?

Additionally, what immediate actions would you recommend taking after launch to ensure the course reaches the right audience and starts gaining traction?

Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the club!

Keep promoting until you get your first sale. And keep publishing new ones.

The best thing you can do is create another course. And then another one. And keep going. See which courses sell, this will give you ideas about your next courses. Unless you have dedicated social media followers, there is not much else you can do at this point. Over time you can send promotional messages but they too have limited effect.

Greetings,

Congrats for your first course. I remember when I published our first course.

At the beginning, you should be earning little.

You should be patient and consistent in you teaching.

Good luck 🍀

Hi @mea_econmentor1,

Welcome to the community, and how exciting that you are going to publish your course soon! We have many great resources in the community, so if you are looking for anything specific, please let me know—I’m happy to help!

As for the first steps after publishing your course, we had a webinar on this exact topic some time ago, and I’m sure you will find invaluable information in it: 5 things every instructor should do after publishing their course.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, and we wish you great success on Udemy!
