Just submitted my very first course for review. As I'm looking at some ways to promote the course, if I'm understanding it correctly, if you participate in the Deals program, then maybe you can't offer coupons, including free coupons to prospective new students?
My (perhaps inexperienced) strategy is to get some free students just so (hopefully) they'll rate my course for some social proof. I feel pretty confident (again, perhaps from inexperience) that they'll rate my course high, as I put a heck of a lot of work into trying to make sure they'll be satisfied with everything.
I'm thinking of giving out 100 free coupons if I'm able to, and if I can still do it with the Udemy Deals program. Any criticism appreciated! Thanks again all members!
