  • Creating a Passive Income on Udemy2:34

    Start Creating a Passive Income on Udemy

    Hi, my name is Matt Bernstein and today you'll learn about how to be successful selling your video courses. You've already chose a very low upfront cost way of making money. When you create and sell video courses, you are proving to the world that you do not need money to make money. All you need is a microphone and editing software and you can literally make thousands of dollars a month for the rest of your life.

    Make a video course with the good quality microphone and editing software. Once you have these materials, you can constantly create and it won't cost you any extra money. It'll cost the same whether you create one course or 100 courses. My first course, eBay secrets have made over $10,000 dollars so far. It will continue making money as long as it stays relevant. The second course, eCommerce profits has made another $5,000 dollars. Creating multiple courses, is a recipe for success.

    Selling digital products is much better than selling physical products because it doesn't cost as much money. When you sell digital products, there's an unlimited inventory. Physical products, you'll have to worry about managing an inventory, and associated shipping expenses of goods.

    When you sell a video course, it's all automated. The courses become unlocked for your student and Udemy does everything. It will automatically be there for students and if somebody asks for refund it's easy. Udemy will refund their money back and you do not worry about return shipping costs. It's all the same to you, it's such low risk creating selling video courses as opposed to physical products. The only initial cost you have to incur is from the microphone and editing software.

    After you create your course, you're building an asset. The hours spent on creating and selling your courses will benefit you years from now. Whereas, a job that pays me $20 an hour, I won't see more money for that one hour of work. If I work one hour creating a course, that money will keep growing, as long as that course stays relevant. Over time that hour of work might equate to a thousand dollars (depending on how well you are promoting your courses).

    Instead of trading your hours for short term gains, you're trading in your hours for long-term gains. That's the most important thing to realize when you sell video courses.

    Quality Control and Udemy Secret

    Today, we're going to learn about video course creation tips and tricks. These are things that you should do before you start making your course. You're going to learn about the quality of your courses because this is the first time you're making a Udemy course. You should know that audio quality is more important than visual quality. You also need to know the quality of other Udemy courses. The next time that Udemy has a $10 deal you should buy 2-3 courses and see what people are willing to pay for on Udemy. By watching this course, you can see the audio quality and the visuals used. You can emulate this in your own work.

    You can see the first course to the left, “The Complete Web Developer Course: Build 14 Websites.” This course has over 27,000 students, but not all of those 27,000 students paid $199. This is something that I didn't realize the beginning. There's thousands of students who didn't pay anything for courses, they got for free when the instructor just created the course and wanted to build credibility. When you start off on Udemy, you give your courses away for free to thousands of students and they review it. This is how you build credibility by getting reviews and having thousands of students enrolled in the course. Another reason why not all of those 27,000 students bought the course for $199 is because Udemy has $10 deals. Over a period of time, thousands of students enrolled in this course through the $10, $19, and $24 deals. The instructor will rarely make a sale at $199. The majority of their sales came when their video courses on sale or given away for free.

    These tips will get you started, you should watch other peoples courses and see the quality of the course to emulated that in your own course. You should also know that it's rare for somebody to spend $99 on my video course. I sell them for $10 through my own promotions. With Udemy promotions, they sell them for $10 or $19, and when I first started out I gave the course away for free. These are things every Udemy Instructor should know before making a video course.

  • Maximize Udemy Time & Profits3:03

    Maximize Udemy Profits and Follow These Rules

    Today you're going to learn about specific rules you should follow before you create your course. You don't want to waste your time. You want to maximize your profits and value added to your students. After you validate your course on Udemy, Amazon, and Google, you want make sure to do these few specific things in order to add value students and to maximize your profits. First, you want to make sure it's relevant for the next 3-5 years. My course is "Selling on eBay" and eBay has been around since the 1990's, it's been around for at least 15 years and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. The method for selling on eBay and getting products at wholesale prices hasn't changed and it's not going to change next 3-5 years.

    For the subject, “How to Invest in the Stock Market”. There's this book called the “Intelligent Investor” that was released in the late 1800's and that book is still relevant today. It's been selling very well for the past 100 years. It is still number one selling book about investing in the stock market. Using this information for the course retirement secrets, how to invest in the stock market. The concepts that are shown the course are relevant for the next three to five years because it's about developing investor's mindset, that concept hasn't changed in the past 100 years and it won't change in the next 3-5 years.

    Another concept to remember is to make sure the course is relevant to the United States and the rest of the world. My course about selling on eBay are about my experiences selling in the United States. People internationally are able to learn how to sell on eBay, but I can't give them a step-by-step guide and it's limiting the sales of my courses. Being able to sell the United States and everywhere in the world, you're not limiting your sales because your potential is bigger. You're able to sell to every student and it's relevant to them.

    For this new course, Udemy Profits, the step-by-step guide is not limited because everyone in the world can create and sell courses on Udemy. Because I'm able to have a step-by-step guide for everyone in the world it adds value for everyone and maximizes profit potential. Doing these steps will make you more money and add more value to each student. The longer you can sell your course, the more money you make. The more people who can use the course, the more value added to each student and the more money you make. Please follow these simple rules in order to add value and make more money.
