Udemy’s discounting practices

Udemy’s discounting practices

If you’ve spent any time on Udemy, you will sooner or later be offered discounts.

The discounts can be rather extreme – you maybe offered a $999 course for $9 for example.

People argue that Udemy customers are now trained to only pay for courses at a reduction.

Get this to work for you!

1. Price your course high!

I have a question for you:

Would you rather sell one product at $100 or a hundred products at $1?

My answer: a hundred products at $1, every time! Why? Because I’ll have 99 more paying customers that I can upsell to.
