↣ Can I support you?
Of course! Subscribing shows me you like what I'm doing and always makes my day... but if you want to add a financial element then I've made a Patreon too: www.patreon.com/digitalnomadgirl
↣ Are you a full time UA-camr?
I work full time online as a 'Digital Nomad' which means I get to travel the world with my fiance (Ed) and not be tied to living in any specific country. I do Freelance PR, teach courses on Udemy (check out my profile here - www.udemy.com/...) and of course blogging and UA-cam.
↣ When did you start blogging?
I created my blog in 2012 when I was living in America. I was thrifting so much that I wanted to start sharing my outfits online and inspiring other people to look in charity shops. Now it's become all about my Digital Nomad journey and what it's like to be a female nomad.
↣ Where's your accent from?
I'm from the South of England but I currently live out of a suitcase travelling all over the world.
↣ Where is your favourite place in the world?
I fell deeply in love with Gili Air when we visited as a paradise getaway, but Chiang Mai is my favourite place to live. Plus of course, there's no place like home (Dorset in England).

Thanks for sharing ! I started teaching on Udemy several months ago, I found your video on earnings very inspirational. So far I have 7 courses only on one topic looking to expand my course selection.
Thomas Soltren has it started paying off yet at all?
Natural Lilly Yes they have I consistently make about $200 to $300 a month on my courses, and that is with no personal marketing. some
Courses perform better than others as digital nomad girl says your course topic matters. And number of courses this month I have added two new courses to my lineup and definitely want to add more. I also host the same courses on a different website “Skillshare” as well but Udemy is the top performing site so far. I am excited about the possibilities online teaching provides and plan to continue expanding.
How's it going a year later? Very inspiring to hear your initial experience.
I am stuck at 500$ for 3 months... Do I need more courses or longer courses?
More courses
I definitely agree with Joshua - more is better than longer! But the most important of all is the topic :D
@@digitalnomadgirl my guru phil ebiner also saying ..(create more and more courses) i love this sentence and create more and more courses ti make more money .Love and Respect from Dubai
Amazing :)). Just wanted to let you know you inspired me to finish my first Udemy course :D . I'm a digital nomad vlogger, so creating online courses is an ideal means of income for me. Thanks again!
That's amazing!!! So excited to hear how it goes. Massive congratulations
@@digitalnomadgirl Thank you!! and thank you again for the inspiration :)))
Honoured to help 🥰
@@digitalnomadgirl Where are you traveling now? Still in Europe? :)
A Udemy course about how to create a Udemy course. That's so meta.
Haha. I know right. I've finally reached full enlightenment 😂
This is seriously amazing and inspiring, Louise! I NEED to start creating lessons on Udemy!!!!!
You do!!! Happy to help
Thanks for the Video, it is really good to see that the method of saturation (Having A Lot Of Products) without promotion does actually work. Many big instructors have mentioned that something magical happens at the 20-course mark, similarly, many UA-camrs experience a surge at the 200 video mark. Sometimes it is just about showing up.
Wow that's so interesting that 20 is a magic Udemy number! Totally agree - just gotta keep on going and you'll learn so much each time :) Good luck!
Congratulations you’ve done well . My course is at $257.00 since launching 7 weeks ago. Strangely tin the last 10 days it’s gone very quite for me . Maybe only 8 sales. Udemy have seemed to have stopped promoting my course. Not sure why it’s had excellent reviews and current rating 4.8. In the process of making my second. Keep up the great work.
Wow huge congrats on getting your first course out. That's a massive achievement. I find my sales correlate a lot to what promos Udemy are running so maybe they were just between discounts. Great to hear you're working on your second one already - diversifying is definitely the secret. Good luck!!
This is such a fantastic and inspiring video. I really, really want to get started on Udemy, so I might need to pick your brains on it.
Absolutely! One day we'll fit in that coffee date :D You're so good on camera you'd be brilliant!
Thanks for all the good tips. Can you explain how you split revenues when you do courses with other experts?
I wondered the same thing... :)
Congrats...That's fantastic. Well deserved. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! It's bene a long journey but I'm so thrilled with how it's all turned out. Long may it continue!
You created 25 courses, but now I see only 20.? Your students are 80k but the courses show less students. Please can you tell me about it dear...
A lot of the courses I have made are with other instructors so are not listed on my profile. I now have almost 40 courses!
@@digitalnomadgirl wow. Superb.. You are really an inspiration
That's an awesome result. Great inspo for starting to make money online. What are your big plans for this year? Keep creating on Udemy or grow your YT Channel/Blog ? Or all of them? 😁
You're freaking awesome I love your accent. You're so to the point. Love when you do videos like this.
Awww thanks so much. Feel free to hit me up with video requests too!!
Excellent amen. Nice and down to earth.
Many years ago I heard a quote about selling 100 tickets for $1 each vs selling 1 ticket for $100 and how it takes the same amount of energy. I'm the 100 tickets for $1 guy and this video really brought that home for me.
I know my channel name sounds shallow but the goal is deeper than it appears lol.
Thank you for sharing this and belated Congratulations!

100k on Udemy?! Wow! Well done, you go girl. Thanks for sharing all your advice.
Thanks so much!! So thrilled.... Now on to the next milestone!!
you are popular with a following thats why people could buy into your course. what happens with people that have resources for good products but no fanbase
I see Udemy seems not worth of my time actually.. Many methods that I used to promote my udemy, but still the same people at the top and that course keep getting more and more student compare to new course.. And still takeover until now.. It seems not fair though. I doing the same method that I apply on Udemy on my local plaftorm and within 24 hours got sales compare on udemy.Udemy seems in favor the old course rather than newcomer.
another great piece of advice filled video. thanks.
Thanks! So glad you found it useful :D Are you teaching on Udemy?
@@digitalnomadgirl yes recently started
@@digitalnomadgirl udemy.com/user/jerome-p/
I have a course called stellar communication skills that I just accepted and published 2 days ago and I got my first 2 students.
That's fantastic! Massive congrats :D
@@digitalnomadgirl Thank you but, I might need some help though I'm new to the space. Anyway we could possibly have a conversation :)
How’s it going now?
I am sorry, I am new on this. You made 100k totally revenue in total or that is your annual income
I have huge respect for anyone that posts a course on Udemy, even if it's only 1. I say that because of the organization and dedication that you have in order to plan it, organize it, film it, edit it, and then upload it.
So true! I'm really glad I did it - has totally changed my life :) Worth the effort! Thanks for the support :)
This comment inspires me to try.. Without thinking about the outcome
This comment inspires me to finish my pending course production. I will upload it soon.
LEARNT isn't a word :)
Can you create a Udemy course on how to get such amazing skin please?
OH MY GOD I realize you actually have one and I'm SO HAPPY NOW!
Ahaha!! You just made my day!!!
Really enjoying your new Udemy course thus far. Learnt a lot already!
So so happy to hear that Andrew! Massive thanks for your support - it really means so much :D
Well, she certainly didn't learn how to spell 'learned'... Concerning...
Check Google - it's British vs American. I suggest you check your facts before you criticise people :)
This is awesome!!! Thank you for being so inspiring! I definitely want to make a few courses on Udemy soon :)
Hell yeah! You'd be fantastic :D Also I see you're on 1923subs.... so close to 2k!!!
@@digitalnomadgirl
Wow! I really want to make a course on Voice Acting! Do you think that would be a good topic though? I am making an English dub for an anime and had no good tutorials online to help me, so I want to give to those starting out. (As well as acting tips) This is some of my work!
ua-cam.com/video/RT6iJ55x6t8/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this video! Indeed a very interesting video and thank you for sharing your tips. I have only one course on Udemy, but people like you inspire me to continue! Thank you so much!
Yay I'm so thrilled to hear that!! Good luck with your course 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for sharing your experience. Liked and Subscribed! :)
Thanks for the support!!
Hey Louise! Thankful to have stumbled upon your channel.. bought your course on creating udemy courses. I'm really excited and I hope to also grow in this platform. Starting the course now!
Ahhh fantastic!! Really hope you find it useful :) Good luck!
Hi Louise, I am one of your subscribers here on UA-cam and I really appreciate you sharing your lessons learnt from your Udemy experience. Thank you! You gave me food for thought. I am currently teaching just one course on Udemy. It is in Russian language though: www.udemy.com/course/crowdtesting/. Question: how to find people whom to create a course together with? How did you find them?
Thanks for the info! Glad things are going well for you :) I find people through personal connections - people I meet or friends of friends!
@@digitalnomadgirl thank you Louise!! Happy holidays to you from Canada!
Where is the course
Awesome 👍🏻😊Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!!
What I found most useful was you advice about picking a topic. I teach music in real life and on Udemy. Since I'm a singing teacher the first course I published was on singing, which is really competitive. I did no research really... I didn't look to see how long the bestselling courses were or what people liked and disliked about them in the reviews. The course did ok but I ended up doubling its length when I realised it needed some work to achieve good SEO. I have definitely published a couple of courses that are just too niche to make money, but I hope they helped the people who enrolled! Now I definitely look at Amazon best seller lists, Google keyword searches and reviews and promos on Udemy as well as the market insights when I begin to design a course. As you say, there is just way too much work involved in course creation to produce something which will only sell to 5 people. Plus, you want your courses to provide a solution to people's problems, which your Udemy course does in that it tells people about the practicalities of how to film. My problem at the moment is that I am producing course no. 8 but am starting to run out of ideas for new courses... I consulted my mailing list to see if any of my contacts had any specific issues they would like a course to address.
Could you cover other platforms? I feel like Udemy now has competitors where you can make much more potentially. I mean Udemy has the traffic, but low payouts and AND they don't let you have contact info of your students.That's what I hear as the negatives. Would u recommend newbies starting on other platforms like TEachable ....and others.
Hi! I actually released a video about this today :D For me Udemy is still the best but you still might find some useful tips!
Did u promote ur course or is it organically growing?
Hi great video! When you partner with someone for a course. How do you handle the payments with that person?
Hey! I think I'm going to do a dedicated video about working with partners :) But the short answer is that Udemy handles it - you just select what % split you want and it auto pays into their Paypal every month
Digital Nomad Girl awesome thanks for responding 💗
Thanks this helped answer my questions I posted on an older video.
Glad to hear it David! Thanks for the support :D
Very informative. Question: when udemy send the revenue to your paypal account every month do you need to play to paypal to store your money? Or is it free? Thanks
Thank you for this very thorough and informative content. I will watch it again and again to get most out of it. I have only made a few video on UA-cam at this point, In regards to teaching. Thank you for your encouragement, so I can venture out to other platforms like Udemy. At end of the day, not a brassy Charismatic Personality that sells, but a Honors opinion True to your hear will When the respect of your viewers.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the super inspiring video dear... I'm going to start doing it... Share more do's & don'ts. That new instructors like me can get more confidence and dare to do that.
Does seem to be some luck involved, I've got 13 published myself and half the sales seem to be from 2 or 3 of them
🤩
Hi Louise. Thanks for the great video. You're honestly a huge inspiration for me. I would like to know since you mentioned you end up making around 2 dollars per course after Udemy takes its cut if this happens with organic sales as well or only with affiliates and Udemy promotions. Until now I always thought you could end up making about half of the price of the course which let's say for a 10 dollar course would be 5 dollars for Udemy and 5 dollars for the instructor. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Keep up the good work.
Hi! Yes you're totally right :) For organic sales udemy only take half - but there are quite a few hidden costs like if it's sold through the app store, if it's sold in a european country where Udemy take the tax for you, if it's sold in india and Udemy give you a bad exchange rate, if it's sold through an affiliate, if it's sold through a facebook ad. Etc! So yes - lots of my sales do pay me $5 but a lot don't. I think if I average all my sales from the month they end up around $3. Hope that helps!
I just started on Udemy! I can't even fathom making $100,000. At this point I'm just excited for that first sale!
YES! That first sale is so so so exciting. Sure you'll be a massive success :D
You are such an inspiration!
Thank you so so much! You're too kind
...how is it doing in 2019?
Still great thank you! Better and better :D

Fabulous, so chuffed to have discovered that Udemy sales can add up despite the hard core discounting that they do. Greetings from a Brit in Berlin

It's a GRANDE day!
I've made 2 courses so far and I made 2,500+ free students and 1 paid student and my course rating is 3.5 and below, it was a FLOP. Should I delete these 2 courses in order to replenish and establish my credibility as an instructor? Thanks!
Ooo that's an interesting question. I'd probably keep the courses for now because you can use those free students to funnel to your new course. But possibly in future you could delete them if you feel it's affecting your instructor score. I think mostly each course stands alone though so I wouldn't worry too much :) Do you know what you did wrong?
Hey Louise!! You are soooo good at explaining things! No wonder you're an awesome Udemy teacher too! Plus we all love your accent so much! :)
Awww thank you so much!! That really means a lot ❤️
Hi digital nomad,
Hats off to u for whats r u doing and wish u very best of luck, but I jst hv a question, I am not a native english speaker but my accent is good enough, do u think making a course with good content will attract the audience?
Once again thnks very much for such an amazing job u r doing👍👍👍
I think it's worth a try! A lot of teachers on Udemy are non-native English. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks to this video, I have published my first Udemy course. If you could give us more insight/strategies to increase sells, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, from NYC!
That's awesome! Have you taken my Udemy course? There is tons of info on there :D And some other videos here on my youtube channel too. Good luck!
thank you
Hi DNG! This is the video which gave me the idea and motivation to publish a course on Udemy. I am happy to report that I just published my first ever course on Udemy! Thank you SO MUCH! We would appreciate more videos on Udemy insights to increase course participation. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome! I'm so glad to hear that. Congratulations 🥰
Hi! Love this video but over what stretch of time did you make 100k? 1 year? 5 years? Thanks
Hi Johnny. It took me about 3 years to reach this milestone. But the income was very staggered towards the end of that three years - e.g. for the first year I only had two months making over $1000, but for the second year that was pretty much every month. Pretty much all the money from this total was made in Year 3. Hope that helps!
How are you my friend you are Beautiful teacher

Congrats! You're such a smart, determined entrepreneur. Zero doubts that any avenue you choose will be successful. Having the right mindset pays dividends. Cheers! 😉
Amen to that!! Thanks for your kind words :D You're epic!
Hi am a bit confused ,just watched one you made less than a year ago and you sated the money you were earning and it wasn't anything remotely Like that?!!
Yeah this year has grown a lot since previous years! That's why I wanted to do this update video :) all very exciting!!!
Thanks Do you use your full name when teaching on the plate forms? F U joint venture writing or creating a course with someone else how do they get their half of the cut? Is it directly from you or?
Hi! You can choose any username you want on udemy :) some people use their names and others use a business name.
Udemy automatically pays out into both instructor PayPal accounts and you can choose the percentage :) so if you want to to be 90:10 or 50:50 you just tell udemy and then it pays each instructor each month!
You really are so inspiring to have built this incredible empire on Udemy! So ridiculously proud of you darling xoxo
Eeek thanks so much! I am very proud of myself right now too :D
Ok! Super exciting!!! Starting today !!!😁
Awesome!!! Let me know how it goes :)
Hi! Please make a video on W-8BEN form which Udemy asks specially how to fill line 10 . Thanks
If you're not American the form is just to confirm that :) they are making sure that Americans pay their tax correctly
@@digitalnomadgirl Thanks for the reply . I am non resident alien for USA and never visited USA . Can you tell when do I need to fill out an affidavit of an unchanged status retroactive statement in W-8BEN? or do i leave it unchecked while filling Udemy form? What did you do?
100k is your share after paying Udemy and everything else ?
Yep! That's money in my pocket :)
Thanks, it's inspiring
but what do you offer to people you partner with?
also, what about courses that you don't need to talk in front of the camera but have to show the screen only, what do you recommend?
last thing: how to find people to make the course (video, editing etc.) for you?
Hi! I normally split the course revenue with the co-instructor depending on whether I teach on camera with them or not. And whether they have a mailing list to promote to.
You can definitely teach a course without being on camera but I personally prefer to learn from someone on screen. But if you want to use powerpoint and a voiceover then that works too!
I do all the course work myself - filming and editing. But I'm sure you could find people on upwork if you wanted.
Enjoy!
Digital Nomad Girl thanks ! :)
are you endorsed or compensated by Udemy to make these videos?
Nope! Just love to share with you guys :)
Just about how long does each one of your courses run for on adverage?
About 2 hours :)
Awesome. I'm excited to get started.
Yay! You'll be fantastic I'm sure :)
Congrats Digital Nomad....you are an inspiration for me...
That really means so much. Thanks for all your support as always!
thank you for video and you so much beautiful girl
Glad you enjoyed them :)
Yay! So happy for you!
Would you say this last milestone is related to your presence in social media?
Hey Carmen. Yay it's all so exciting! I'm very proud :) Almost all of my sales are organic on Udemy so I don't think any of my students know who I am. I do get a few sales from UA-cam but it's only a couple of students per month. For sure you can be successful without being "big" on UA-cam (or instagram etc!). Good luck :D
Congratulations!
This is brilliant - thank you and well done. Loved the idea of drawing on the expertise of people you know and sharing the success but wondered how you pay them? Is it a one off fee or a percentage and if the latter, how would you do it?
Hey! Someone else in the comments has requested a video on this so I'll have to get working on that :) Udemy have a built in tool to share a percentage cut directly to their paypal every month so that's the best way in my opinion. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much! That would be amazing!
Congratulations, Louise!
Thanks so much for all your support Eve! Hope you're having a lovely week :)
Thanks, I guess the super secret info I will need to pay for the course of courseeeeee.
Hehe. I promise you'll learn a ton from it!!
Well if you promissseedddd than maybe I will buy it ;) You have given me a lot to think about, you know.
have you considered hosting your courses on your own so you could make more of a profit?
Hey. Yeah I definitely have. There's a lot more money to be made. To be honest I love the passive income though and sales funnels etc are not my strong point. I am loving working with Udemy for now :)
Digital Nomad Girl I use sales funnels for my products. I'd love to help out for free. I can help you set up a sales funnel and help you set up your Facebook ad account and google adwords account. That way you can retarget your subscribers and make more sales. I don't need anything in return.
fifteen thousand in one month ?! do you wanna be my wife :))?
Too late pal! ;)
Hi, is that in sales or net profit ? x
Net profit :) as in what udemy actually put in my bank account. They don't track what your sales are but I'd guess at least 2 or 3 times this as the instructor commissions can be quite low after fees are taken out :)
One more subscriber!
Thanks :D
So what about UScreen?
I still have my courses on Udemy too but my plan is to get a proper sales funnel set up for UScreen :) Udemy take a huge cut (I've sold 2 or 3 times as much as I've earned) so it'd be really nice to avoid that in future!
congradulations
Thanks! It's been quite a ride :D
From what I've heard from other youtubers who made Udemy courses, you guys earn around 3-4 bucks for the $10 courses, so I think it took you a veeeeeeeeery long time to get to 100,000 bucks...
Sure did! I made my first course almost 3 years ago but the past year has been a huge proportion of my income now that I've got so many courses and Udemy is booming. I do only get about $3-5 per student but I get thousands of students every month. It's been an exciting journey!
Amazing Video, very informative!!
By the way, the camera and audio quality is incredible. Do you mind me asking what camera and microphone you are using?
Thanks
Thanks! I actually just use my G7X camera (being near good light is very important to make it look good - so I am sitting directly facing a window). Then for sound I just the Rode Videomic Pro plugged into a phone or laptop and then synced up with the visual later. Finally, I have Final Cut Pro and I apply LUTs (aka a colour filter) to get the lighting and colour balance looking good. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
I would love to make Udemy course but I lack the right kind of equipment.
You don't need a camera but I would recommend getting a mic :) And of course you need a computer to edit on. Hope that helps!
Thanks.
Great video :) ❤
Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it :D
i am also a instructor on udemy and skillshare too. i like to joined you. i will send private message in udemy, thank you for ideas.
Great! Welcome to the squad :)
Thank you for your welcome.
Ok beautiful
3 years to earn $100K? That's poverty-level income.
It is passive income though :) I'm pretty happy with that! And it started off very small so the third year is by far the biggest. I'm very proud of my milestone and hopefully you can achieve the same :)
Passive income is the ultimate goal. Passive income can be leveraged into more passive income, creating a "snowball" effect. Aim to replace your active income with passive income, and continue growing your passive income.
you are telling stories, if anyone goes on Social Blade, they will see you don't make very much money.
Social Blade? That's for social media not Udemy! I definitely don't make much on my UA-cam channel so you're correct there!
