I earned over 600 USD from a single Cybersecurity Udemy course in 2022
Why Udemy is still worth it in 2023
Yes you read that right
I earned over 600 USD from a course I made on Udemy NOT 6000 USD which you might have thought
Nothing spectacular
Why am I bragging ?
Well consider this .. I made that course in just a few days using just my laptop and Canva and NOTHING else
To date it has gone on to make me over 600 USD and still making money as of Jan 2023
Imagine having 5 or 10 such courses on Udemy ?
Udemy is very much alive and kicking in 2023 and people who started late ( like me ) can still make some money on the side with this awesome platform
Why Udemy is still awesome in 2023
As you can see I am a BIG Udemy fanboy and I think it is an amazing way to make passive income
Problem is that people give up way too early on Udemy
They dont take the time to plan out their courses and do the homework before starting
As a result their course does not do well and they lose all motivation

My experience with Udemy ?
Most of my initial courses flopped HARD
Nobody bought them
However I persisted and as of today I have two of the highest courses on Udemy with over 11K students
You can check my profile here
It took me multiple courses until I reached my point today where I have two of the highest rated courses on the platform AND one which has been chosen to be shown to top companies across the world
That is just the direct benefits of having a great Udemy course
What are the indirect benefits ?
Why a Udemy course makes you stand out ?
Having an awesome Udemy course give you street cred in your profession
Imagine casually dropping your course name during an interview
INTERVIEWER: “Do you know cloud security” ..
YOU: “Oh I have a Udemy course on that”
Anyone can attend conferences and street but few people go the extra mile and make an actual product out their knowledge
Additionally people reach out to you.
I have lost count of the people who have reached out to me on LinkedIn wanting my help on how to make Udemy courses or other digital products
Imagine directing all of those requests to a Fiverr gig you might have created as a side hustle ?
I hope this has motivated you to try Udemy as a platform in 2023. Dont sit back and let this year be like all the previous ones and go the extra mile !
