Anyone planning to sell Udemy courses must know it’s a competitive business. Therefore, any optimization that can be made to both obtain more enrolments – as well as to sell more courses to current students – will help go a long way in helping the instructor.
We can’t believe another year is over. However, we believe that doing something three times in a row becomes a tradition. So let’s get traditional and take a look at the 2020 Black Friday and Cyber Monday results. Do you remember what we did last year and the year before? Here is a brief summary of our findings.
We know that you are the expert on your topic. That’s why you share your knowledge with others on Udemy, as many other instructors do. A typical Udemy course has only one instructor, like the schoolteacher who prepares a lecture and stands alone in front of a class. That’s a pretty traditional picture. Does it need to be like this? Who said that there is only one instructor allowed? Well, there are no restrictions on the numbers of instructors. In today’s article, we would like to investigate if the number of instructors involved in the course creation makes a difference in your success on Udemy or not.

Without further ado, we’ll get to the main findings of the survey.
The majority of Udemy course creators are not professionally trained course designers or certificated teachers. That’s both the opportunity and challenge of being a course creator and a student on the Udemy platform. Have an idea, a passion, an expertise? You can simply “teach” it on Udemy. Want to learn a new skill? You can simply “learn” it on Udemy.
