Hi @99brett I think the "about" poetry course would still teach skills. Appreciating poetry is a skill. Wine appreciation is a skill - we all know how to slug it back but understanding it is a skill. People do degrees in art history, not just fine art. Hopefully, you will enjoy making the course. Some advise only to make a course that has a market. But how do you know if you don't try? I spent a year on research, technical and general before I started my course. What I gather about Udemy is it is a career and you need a lot of courses out there to make a living. I'm not bothered what financial return I get until I have made 10 courses. Trying to get the payment method sorted is a bit of a pain anyway! After making a few courses, I will evaluate if it's paying out. I also have a course for a niche market but 3 things apply: 1. I still don't know if it will sell. 2. I don't expect it to be enough on its own for a Udemy career. 3. I love making courses so I am eager to spend my free time on it. So if you add up the time I spent on research, my first course will be 12 months in the making, will be a unique offering and I am planning to offer it for free. I think you should make your course and hopefully you will get enjoyment from it anyway.
