Hi @aprilpineda There are a couple things you need to keep in mind. First, the Udemy marketplace is a VERY crowded space. Therefore, it's unlikely anyone is going to create a course that isn't immediately competing with dozens, or perhaps, hundreds, of other courses on the same topic. There are exceptions of course, but, what this means is that it will probably take a long time for any new course to get noticed and gain some traction. The most important thing any instructor should do, before you start recording your first lesson, is to determine how many courses your course is going to compete with. It's been my experience that very few instructors do this. They create a course, publish it, and expect to start making hundreds of dollars a month, right away. It simply doesn't work that way. They don't realize their course is competing against 200 others on the same topic. I never really worried about whether my courses (I have 13 of them) would sell or not. I do this pretty much as a hobby and anything I earn is extra spending money. I think most instructors need to look at it this way. This keeps the stress levels down and makes the whole experience more enjoyable. There are Udemy instructors that make A LOT of money from their courses. The vast majority do not.
