Hello Udemy Team! 👋
This is fantastic news—Black Friday is always such an exciting time! 🎉 So far, it has been going great on my end, and I’m excited to see how things progress.
I’ve updated my course descriptions, created promotional posts for social media, and reached out to past students via email to let them know about the sale. It’s always a busy season, but it’s so rewarding to see the engagement and feedback.
Looking forward to hearing how others are doing and exchanging tips here. Let’s make this Black Friday the best one yet! 🚀

Udemy system is ending. There is no other explanation for this. I earned around $2000 in November last year. Now it's not even $500. Udemy ignores instructors because it will earn more. If this is the income of the most active month, Udemy is really finished and we need to look for alternatives. I started to create alternatives on my own. If Udemy remains in decline this month, it is illogical to invest in the Udemy system anymore.
It is clear that Udemy has lost its former glory days.

My sales are really slow this month. I have only made 2/3 of a normal month a d so far about a third of my usual Black Friday takings with 2 new courses this year.

Well let's remember it's not actually Black Friday yet… too soon to say how the month will end.

I'm starting to see some small increases in sales the past few days, with a fair amount of Udemy Black Friday coupons, so that's good, but nothing earth shattering. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday now being two week long events, I wouldn't expect a few days of huge spike in sales, but instead small incremental gains in sales over the next two weeks.

Not much here as well. Last year's BF was not spectacular for me.
Hopefully it will pick up, the last few days of the sale are usually the best, Cyber Monday has often been better than BF.0 -
Hello, fellow instructors and Udemy team! 👋
I was really excited about the Black Friday sale, but so far, my experience has been similar to a normal day—no sales yet. 😔
I’d love to hear from others: what strategies do you use to promote your courses during this huge sale season? Are there any specific tips or tricks that have worked for you in the past to boost visibility and attract more students?
Looking forward to your insights—let’s make this Black Friday successful for everyone!"

No uptick so far …

Nada. You can tell how little they are putting into the marketing this year. Figures as UFB is all they care about and get ready for the next pay cut for UFB come JAN.

yeah nothing here either, last year was noticeable. I think something changed.

Ironically, my enrollments are DOWN since the start of the sale. Am I supposed to be excited by this? Really glad I didn't get suckered into relying on Udemy as a full-time gig. Learned my lesson as an eBay PowerSeller back in the day. The parallels are strikingly similar.

Sales are lower than normal months for me 😂😂
5 -
Yeah…no recognizable uptick in sales. Way lower than a few days ago when i ran my own sale.
It wouldn’t even be that disappointing if Udemy itself hadn’t set such high expectations with this thread and the announcement of the biggest event of the year.
Didn´t we all learn while creating courses that it´s about: "underpromise and overdeliver" to get good ratings and make people happy? ;-)

This has been my sales performance so far this month.
The Black Friday sale is not over yet, but so far the results have not been spectacular.
The beginning of the month and mid-month bumps are my own promo, which I thought would be less effective than the Black Friday bump. But it seems to be the other way around.
Let's see how it goes until the end of the week! :)

Sent a promo on 22nd.

Did the Big Black Friday Sale finish before the actual Friday this year? 😂
