in First-time course creation

Hi
My course has been published in Udemy a few days ago, but no one has bought it. I'm a little worried about that.
What do you suggest to make the first purchases?

    It may take a few weeks before the first paid enrollment

    Thank you GuilhermeMP!

    Have you any suggestion to make first enrollments happen?

    Offer your course with a discount coupon for friends that might be interested in the topic, or put some classes on Youtube with the coupon in order to make people see the course

    You may promote it via personal instagram or youtube accounts in order to get more views and purchases

    Try asking your friends to buy your course as you have put some efforts in creating a good content and they must be the first one to help you out in this situation. And ask them to rate also. And share your course link with your known persons, to whom it might be useful. I hope like this you may get some popularity.

    1-hour courses do not sell well on Udemy. I would suggest to make the course longer.

    Hi, I watched your intro (and the two videos that are available) and even though I like the course content, I wouldn't buy it.

    Reason #1: There is no voice-over. Following along with you while I have VScode open would be extremely hard as I have to watch the video actively and read your text overlays.

    Reason #2: As Vlad said, 1 hour may be a bit short. Try to add a few more videos, for example compare SVG to JPG or PNG, explain why SVG is so great, etc.

    Reason #3: Your promo video is quite poor as it doesn't tell the viewer anything about your course. I recommend taking a look at this very useful guide and remake your promo video: https://info.udemy.com/perfect-promo

    And yes I agree that there are a few things to market a course (like other people mentioned before) but in your particular case, I think it wouldn't solve the initial problem.

    Hope this is helpful!

    Best, Felix

    I sent your idea to my team. They praised your idea and decided to follow up.

    Thank you... very much! God bless you...!

    I can understand your problem, please be patient for few more days because it takes some time for your course to get ranked on udemy seach results try to share your course on quora, create a pinterest pins, create free landing page using Google. Update your title, description with searchable keywords which are low competition add main keyword at starting of title.
