Last week, I released my first course on Udemy - How to build an Uber clone with no-code using Bubble.
Here's the initial performance so far
84 students (11 paid, 73 free)
$143 revenue ($46 my cut after Udemy fees)

I'm currently in the process of creating a series of no-code tutorials for Bubble makers.
Before doubling down on the course content, I wanted to first validate the initial idea.
Instead of creating my own custom platform, I started small by releasing just one course on Udemy.

Although Udemy has a pretty tough revenue split, my goal wasn't to make a tonne of money, but was instead to just validate my course.
With Udemy handling distribution, this was the fastest and cheapest way to reach this point

After launching my course, I decided to share free access to it on Twitter for 24hrs to help drive some initial reviews and social proof 
I was absolutely inundated with messages for a whole day

With reviews now published on my course, Udemy users started buying it organically through the platform.
In total, 11 users paid a collective $143 for the course. My cut... just $48.

As always, I kept my expectations low going into this. I had one simple goal - generate $1 in revenue.
With a validated concept, I can now justify spending the time to create the full series of Bubble courses on my own self-hosted platform
