Guidance Required : How to sell my tech course ?
Hey Folks, Wishing you all a very happy new year in advance. I require some guidance, so thought of asking it here.
My main goal for 2024 is to become a ‘modern’ LinkedIn / Social Media Influencer. Once I have achieved enough following, my next goal is to sell my ( overpriced and already available gyaan ) courses to people who are into tech industry.
This would ensure , I have enough leeway and funds in case I want to start my own startup.
Now, I have the course ready already , I just need to click the submit button to publish on Udemy. But even if I do that no one is going to purchase my course because right now , I ain’t popular.
Any advice on how should I approach this ? How do I go around selling my courses and also simultaneously become the next big influencer on LinkedIn?
Just follow what a lot of other ‘online gurus’ have been doing
Yeah , asking that only - what have they been doing ?
Rent an expensive car/bunglow, pretend you own it and tell people that if you a life like this then buy that course.
The other alternative is produce a lot of courses for absolute beginners and make the content free on YT. Interview people working in orgs like Google/Microsoft that people especially students aspire to be. Basically you must create a large following and a respectable name. Won't happen unless you give content for free at first. Then sell your course at a paid price
If it's a course on something not so generic topic, make a preview video of the course and upload it on YouTube, most of the people first search for videos on YouTube, if you impress them they'll end up buying.
Add the udemy link in the description and explain to them whatever you are going to teach them.
Got it , that was my fault plan as well
YouTube ads. Most modern influencer courses work on investing in YouTube ads to your target audience and hoping 0.1% convert. Price your code assuming 1 in 1000 people who view your course will sign up.
Because you are already not an influencer, you either will have to price your course higher or sell it at loss for first few days.
A better way is put out some courses for free, funnel your existing audience into paid ones. This is slow and time taking.
Some real founder gyaan here. Thank you my friend. YT ads is in fact a very good idea.
May I will put some snippets out there for free. But it’s going to be a long way ahead
