Two points of context:

1. I have a friend with a well performing Udemy course and he's doing about the same price/unit sale as you are. I think it's just a volume thing.

2. Udemy courses are so inexpensive and as a result does it matter if there are a few duds? Again from the stats my friend shared, about 80% of the people buying the course don't even start it.

Thanks for that.

And just to clarify, I didn't mean to sound negative. I actually think it's a good thing -- I've picked up several really good courses on real estate investing, machine learning, and other stuff.

A few misses at $10/pop come out in the wash when you also get courses that can add tens of thousands of dollars' worth of knowledge to your life.
