Isn't it good indicator for Udemy algorithm that my course is showing on the search result and as more free students log in everyday my course gain good rank after sometime? Then I convert it to a paid course, Is it good? ----- I have personally noticed that after making a free coupon, a lot of free traffic come on the landing page, and I have noticed that paid enrollment also increased in that period. More traffic on your landing page is a good thing.
If it is good, then how long should I keep it free? Few days? Few weeks? Few months? or until a specific number of enrolments? --- Better to make a coupon and post it in facebook groups, making a course free through udemy payment options seems not worked for me.
If it is not good, since most student won't finish (rather won't even start), leave bad or avg. reviews? will it effect the ranking? --- Yeah, this happens, but everything has some advantages and disadvantages, focus on advantages.
If I convert it to a paid course - will it automatically gain ranking? provided the fact the selling through coupons on social media didn't work, I got very few results and spent a decent amount of money. --- I have seen that my course with larger students rank good on Udemy.
Or what strategy should I follow?
