Nobody has enrolled my first course yet

[LearVG...167]

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?

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

It may take a few weeks before the first paid enrollment

Thank you  GuilhermeMP!

Have you any suggestion to make first enrollments happen?

Exactly! Good idea...!!

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.

Perfect!

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

Yes, this is an expert opinion!

(‌But needs perseverance.)

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
