Some version of this question is one of the most common by instructors so I thought I would write this, which is a summary of advice from many experienced instructors.
I have compiled a list of things you can or should do to market your course. None of these are short term or an instant path to riches. But, they are things that work if you are serious about building an online business on Udemy. Think strategically, not short term. It often takes a few years of effort to begin to make a significant return on your efforts.
The above is only my advice, but informed by the experience of many other successful instructors,

Go to solutionThanks Larry, I have had a very bad experience with free coupons. Never again.
Blessings for the advice.

Go to solutionSuper Awesome.
Adding few more points.
1) Answer the questions in quora related to your course and provide course link.
2) Apply same strategy in reddit.

Go to solutionGood post Larry!
Agree with pretty much all your points; my takeaway: don't waste money on FB ads directly; also I appreciate the hindsight to only offer FREE coupons to those who have visited/liked our course-related Facebook page - great idea.
Thanks!

Go to solutionnice; and, also, if I could add: don't let One course determine the feasiblity of your teaching efforts. Have a couple of courses on--before, you panic!

Go to solutionHi Lawrence,
Very well written and to-the-point post. Thanx a lot for sharing.
I got my first course published a day ago. Though I have offered a few discounted coupons to people I know might show interest of learning, however, I feel I need access to students from all over. Creating a separate FB/LinkedIn Page part is also done where I am now sharing links to my course. But till now course got 0 reviews and in the search list too it's not easily found. I a, very much worried and I fear that if my course won't be seen to students coming on Udemy, how are they going to enroll for it?

Go to solutionIt was really helpful especially for someone like me (beginner) and absolutely I'll will give them a try and find out the out comes. Because, without trying a strategy it will be too early to jump into conclusion.
Thank you Mr. Lawrence M. Miller

Go to solutionHello Piyush
Don't worry too much about the reviews.
When I published my course to Udemy, I had similar problems of anxiety.
Udemy still stands to be the best platform for both teachers and learners from my experience.
Keep on advertising your course and your day will come.

Go to solutionto be honnest, I found most of what you said a total waste of time. I have no idea why so many people here clapped their hands.
You find tones of exactly the same banalities on the net, just do a google search 😞
