SECRET solo ad source :)

43 replies
This could probably be sold as a WSO or something but I'm a nice guy and I'm going to give it away for free.

So I just had this idea today and I haven't really tried it out, but I already know it works and I'll explain why.

I have a number of courses on udemy.com. I've made a few thousand dollars with them...BUT I've actually made more money sending offers to my enrollees aka my "list" through course announcements.

Well, there are dozens of other courses on udemy currently with thousands of enrollees. If you're looking to promote a particular offer or product simply shoot a message to the course owner and see if you can offer something of benefit to them or what they would charge you to send out an offer to those enrolled in their course.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Like I mentioned before, I've actually made two or three times MORE money off the people subscribed to my courses than what I've made from selling the actually courses.

Go out there, take action, and make some money people

** Another thing you can do is create your own course, list it as FREE, which will attract quite a bit of enrollees and then charge to mail out to the list. Gotta get creative and think outside the box people. There's tons of ways to make money out there.

    Great idea Greg, I'm inclined to think you should have kept this idea to yourself. Not because I am against sharing strategies but because it's a strategy that will be ruined if every man and his dog starts doing it I'm sure.

      You are 100% correct. Wish others would keep the secrets in till the last minute when its to late to make much profit from that way every niche we find would stay lucrative for a maximum amount of time. Anyways the seal has burst open long ago and udemy is no longer a lucrative market like it used to be. I guess its time to look deeper.

      That been said converting free users is probably the only way to profit seriously now. We not talking peanuts a month, before udemy was earning us much more. Now its a huge noticeable drop!!!!!

      Rob i like your thinking, seems we like minded and have many secrets to share. I bet you read more and talk less

      Nope. For some reason I still see hardly ANY internet marketers taking advantage of Udemy.

    Hey Greg, awesome share! I had a question cause you mentioned you have posted courses on the site...the students you have, do you have any information of them? Like email address, name or any info of that sort? Is communicating through course announcements the only source to reach them?

      It is very simple! Signup create a course and then find out! But I talked to greg you do not get any of the above. only you just have their names.

      But there is a work around for this. Create a free offer. Put a free ebook offer on a squeeze page and then you get there Name and emial.

      Remember this put it up for free you will get more subscribers! And then you can sell them other affiliate products!

      Also if you want create a solo ad offer for others to sell to your list!

      If you have enough on your list you could charge a few $100 per a mailing!

    Just went and looked at udemy and this looks like something that is very doable. Developed a tax reduction course some time back but have not done anything with it. this may prove to be a good avenue for the course. may give it a shot... Good information

    I couldn't agree more, this is one hell of an idea, and I will surely try it out. And I have a freelancing course site I am building, so I think i will actually use this idea nd first test the waters on the course site, and then when I finish building the private course site, I will then invite those who are subscribed on my course over to the site.

    Thanks for sharing this with the Warrior Forum.

    Thanks for the share - I'm more interested in the part about offering a free course though.

    I already have a free course available via my blog - could I use this as another mechanic to distribute it and potentially reach a wider audience?

    Hi everyone, i have a course and would love if you all can market them in return for revenue. Please PM me if you are interested.

    Kind regards

  • It can work but keep in mind that only a very very small % read the email from the owner of the Udemy list, the reason is there there are thousands of free courses and people are on many lists they just don't read all the announcements few do but still the ones that do make it profitable just keep that in mind.

    Thats genius! I have 127 students for my game development course and never thought of using it as a solo ad. Thinking about making a Free one and gathering thousands of students. I think the limit is 2 announcements a month tho. Correct me if i'm wrong.
