Using Referral Links and Coupons at Launch

[StephanieTo520]

Hey all,

I'm brand new to Udemy as a learner and instructor, and I've just started working on my first course. I'm using Udemy's course on how to create a course as a guide.

I'm hoping to structure a launch so that I show action right away, meaning I want a handful of students and reviews right off the bat. (I know... who doesn't?) I don't have a large following online, but I do have a small community connected to my topic, and of course, friends and family!

What are some not shady, above board, legitimate ways to ask my community to help create some buzz? How can I do this without asking those folks to pay full price?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @StephanieTo520 I'm happy to provide some information about this!😊 You can promote your course on social media, you can do this by sharing coupons and referral links. These allow instructors to promote their Udemy courses to students on and off the platform. This article explains course referral links and the different types of coupons instructors can create for their courses.

I hope this helps!🤗
