Here is how you make money selling online courses when you have no existing audience.

A THREAD

Btw, if you haven& #39;t already, claim your copy of my free 8-Step Report, where I will elaborate on ideas from this thread.

Let& #39;s go!

So you have little social media following but know something you can teach. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨‍🏫" title="Man teacher" aria-label="Emoji: Man teacher">

How do you find students? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

The same way you find customers when you have a new product to sell. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">

You go to the market where people already go shopping https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛒" title="Shopping cart" aria-label="Emoji: Shopping cart">

With online courses, that means Udemy.

There are a few other options you can also use:

http://Learning.ly"> http://Learning.ly 
Simpliv
Skillshare

But let& #39;s stick with Udemy because it is the largest and most popular with students.

They also market your courses like crazy.

"But Kamil, I don& #39;t want to be a Udemy instructor, I hear the commission is low and it won& #39;t make me rich" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😩" title="Mattes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mattes Gesicht">

I hear you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille">

Two points.

FIRST, you can make *some* money on Udemy.

I have 5 courses in an *academic* niche - super TOUGH to make money.

And I make *some* money.

SECOND though, and MOST important:

You are not on Udemy to make money.

"Now I am all confused, Kamil. Have you been drinking?"

Correct. You are on Udemy to generate leads. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">

And here is where the fun begins:

The leads you generate there are not your usual & #39;cold leads& #39;.

Those people are actively INTERESTED in your product.

Those people have already PAID for your product.

Those people have already CONSUMED your product.

Many Udemy students are High Quality leads.

The best part?

You haven& #39;t spent A PENNY collecting them. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille">

Keep reading.

You see, Udemy spends millions https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen"> on marketing.

It runs ads, affiliate programmes, and constantly tests traffic and conversion strategies in markets across the world.

It recently secured a huge investment, and a lot of that money will go towards marketing.

And all you must do is LAVERAGE that investment to YOUR advantage.

How?

After publishing a few courses and getting students, you develop a more advanced course. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">

But NOT on Udemy.

You do it on your own platform, e.g. Gumroad.

You build a landing page & a lead magnet.

And you begin transitioning your Udemy students towards your new course.

First, you point them to your landing page.

You call your lead magnet a Study Guide. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">

It explains what they will learn in your new course.

Here is mine, my niche is International Relations.

How do you move students?

You begin with the most enthusiastic ones.

The ones who left a positive comment or messaged you to tell you how much they liked your course.

You send them a direct message to say you run this experiment and you invite them.

Many will love it.

Some will say they would join but have no https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen">.

Offer them a discount. Also, ask them if you can help them with something. Maybe they run a blog or sth.

I offered my feedback on 1 article to this student.

Now he feels obliged to pay full price.

There are 2 other ways to move your Udemy students:

1. Create a closed FB or LinkedIn group and invite Udemy students there. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">

2. Create a series of educational videos with your new course pitch at the end of each video. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">

Send them as educational announcements.

Once you decide there is enough interest, you launch your new course.

Price it between $100 and $200.

Now you have your passive Udemy income.

And you have new, higher ticket income.

Some may even pay to download your free Study Guide!

When launching your new course, don& #39;t forget to stack prices.

Add additional services.

You own your audience now.

They want to learn from you.

Create more courses -> collect leads -> transition more students = SYSTEM.
