Hi @GideonCduToit , Well done on the course. I loved the intro video and the free preview lectures. This is definitely a top notch work. I will definitely buy your course as I love this topic. A few points to note though: 1. I did not understand what your course is about until I spent time watching the entire promo video. But once I watched it, I got the point. So, I'm calling out that the course title and subtitle needs to be comprehensive. 2. You will have competition in this segment. But since your course quality is good, over a period of time, your course will beat competition. So you will need to be patient until the Udemy algorithm figures out who is the right audience for your course. Even after that, it will take time and your efforts to bring your course to the top position. 3. This is your first course and you are probably starting with no audience. So, kindly do not expect chart busting results right away. I had less than $10 in revenue for first two months and the third month was no sale. If you are looking for quick gains, you are bound to get disappointed (unless you have your own audience). But if you are keen to make it big on Udemy, which you definitely can, you have to be patient and think long term. I feel sad that many people on similar posts start procrastinating. Every business has its law of the land. To succeed we must know the law of the land in and out. My question to all new instructors is you done everything to release the course, but have you invested the time and energy to learn what to do after releasing the course? The resources shared by the moderation team are excellent and we must use those to learn the law of the land. Also, in most cases, new instructors are mesmerized by success stories and expect that Udemy had a magic wand. I have been on the platform since 2016. And I will categorically state that the magic wand doesn't exist. Just like any other business, being successful on Udemy requires immense amount of work, patience, positive attitude, and every other entrepreneurial skill. We may feel dejected, demotivated, negative thoughts may seep in, but that's where your grit and determination should remain strong. Coming back to your course. Your course content is well presented. But that's what is inside. The question you need to ponder about is how to make the outside look beautiful and irresistible so people will be forced to click on your course and peep at your content? I will leave you at that, my friend 🙂
