First month in 3 figures!

So been on Udemy for around 6 months and proud to say I've just seen my first 3 figure month! I know this is miniscule in comparison to the 6 or dare I say 7-figure instructors, but always worth celebrating the small wins!

So my next question is scalability - I constantly get bombarded on LinkedIn with consultants wanting to improve my results. Sounds great but I'm just a bit skeptical. One of them just said he would post my free coupons on Facebook to boost me and some FB ads. Something I could do myself if I wanted.

Am I over skeptical? Is there a recommended consultancy group that you have used?

Thanks all!!

    Hi @MarkGrey828
    Congratulations on getting your first 3 figures! Regarding your question about allowing others to boost your course, some instructors don't think it's a good idea to offer free coupons without genuine interest, since this could result in low engagement or even negative reviews. You could share your free coupons with a relevant audience who is more likely to engage with the material and provide valuable feedback. Let's see if we get comments from experienced instructors on this topic.

    @Mar
    - congrats on 3 figures! I'll challenge your comment about it being miniscule though.... it took my AGES to get that far, so don't diminish all the hard work and effort you've put into it just because someone else has different numbers.

    re: free coupons - I haven't had much luck with them (outside of small groups I know personally, or early reviewers). The one time I tried it on a broad scale I got loads of signups... that didn't take the course.

    Instead, I've been working on cultivating a LinkedIn following, and a related YouTube channel to help "spread the word" about my courses and using promotion/referral links.
