Is anyone making a living from Udemy. Any tips ?

Anyone making a living from Udemy?

I have one course that is ranked number 1-4 depending on the day and it really hasn't increased my sales drastically. I'm doing alright but definitely not enough to pay rent. (My first course was published 6 months ago and the second a few months after).

I have another short course (the second course) that completely vanished and no one buys it.

Any tips? Any amazing experiences for someone who has created 2-3 courses.

I figure the "formula" = number of courses + quality + time on platform + topic demand.

I'd be happy to hear what you think?

I'm not really planning on quitting my day job, however it would be awesome if I made lots of money to buy more Hummus.

Thanks !

Hi @RonErez We know many instructors have been able to make a living through Udemy. You can read some stories about how do they get to that point :

It's not easy to get to this stage, but everything is possible with hard work, dedication, and patience. I will also recommend checking out this webinar we did with Katie Bent. There is a lot of valuable information in it on how to optimize your course at every stage.

Hope this helps!

The answer to your question is "yes." And, your formula sounds about right. It takes time and persistence.
