@SeanMurray29 Making a course free (as opposed to free coupons) has almost zero benefits. The vast majority of students who acquire a free course have no intention of ever taking the course. They just like getting free courses. And, you cannot send promotional emails to anyone who signed up when the course was free. Udemy does not allow it. Providing free coupons to a non-free course does have some benefits. You are able to send promotional emails to these students. And they might provide nice ratings / reviews (or they might not).
