Hi Frank, Hi Will,

I am from India. I have more than 10 courses on Udemy in English Language.

However, I am not making more than $20/Mo from all the courses combined. Also, the $20 is coming from basically 2 courses only with high ratings.

I invested in IG/FB ads to push the course links, but not much benefit seen.

Pls guide me as I have no idea on how to proceed.

I have around 10K students and 4.5ish rating across 5 courses.

Two questions that can help build my product strategy: 

Question 1: 

1- 80% of the money is from 20% of the courses, thats the case with me. Will that be the case for most instructors? If yes I will focus on creating long duration masterclasses

2- Business revenue is growing, although only 25%. My research says, Udemy is also trying to generate more from business clients. Should I change my focus to business revenue? that means short, crash courses that have high engagement? 

If you can elaborate on the above product startegies based on your experience that would be great for us to decide what we should be doing? 

Question 2 : In what circumstances would you suggest opting out of Udemy promotions? I think i can sell one of my courses at a much higher price point due to lack of competition.

Thanks so much for doing this! I'll register now 🙂

Question 1 - How effective are AI video/voice-over courses VS those of a visual instructor? Do people really care about watching the instructor or the difference if it's narrated by AI? Considering the AI audio is easier to understand?

Question 2 - What are the best ways to market your courses outside of Udemy?
Question 3 - Do you suggest doing a live Q&A once a week pertaining to your course or giving your students a method of reaching you for any questions? If so, which ways are best?
Question 4 - Would you focus on building one really solid informative course or split it into several small ones from the same content?

[LindaNevin680]

Great Questions Max_Cufari!

[Kinshuk]

1) How to promote your course outside of Udemy?

2) What should be the ideal price point of a course? I am about to launch a course on 'Automation using selenium tool' so what should be the approx price range at which I keep this course.

3) Is it advisable to opt in for udemy promotions?

Please try to cater to these questions in the call today.
