❤ FAQs:
↣ 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/u/louisecroft/) and of course blogging and UA-cam.
↣ What does Pauper To Princess mean?
My passion is all about living like a fabulous Princess on a little Pauper budget. I visit beautiful countries, and buy fabulous clothes but I'm always looking for a way to save money and be thrifty!
↣ 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).

Brilliant to see a person being honest about their income - a rare thing. Full of great data, really well presented too.
Thanks! There's no hiding when the numbers are right there on screen! The next video is about my Failed Udemy Courses so that'll be even more exposing!
You can look how many courses sold stupid
You are such an inspiration ❤ thank you so much for your honesty and transparency. I have been interested in Udemy for a while and I found this so helpful! Keep killing it girl! Hope to run into you around the globe some day! xx
Oh girl that means so much to hear
Very impressive, nice to have someone so open and honest about everything. I hope your courses continue to go from strength to strength.
+Lee Wood it's a pleasure to get to share it! Do you have Udemy courses?
I have a course virtually ready. Just deciding if Udemy is the best option but it looks like the platform I will end up using.
I like how you presented your content without any distractions like music and relevant information and images. Thank you.
BIG thank you for your transparency!!!! We need more of that in the world and less of the scammers out there. You're awesome!!!
You're awesome too! :D
I love how open and clear you are about these things! So refreshing ☺️
That's my goal! So glad you're finding it useful :) Also got a "udemy failed courses" video in the pipeline so that one is extra "open"! Haha.
Hey Wild gut project! Hope you're well x
OMG this is such valuable information. Thanks so much for sharing xx
So thrilled you found it useful! Is Udemy something you've ever tried out?
did u tried this >
This was I was looking for 🧝 thank you DNG
This is 99% blah-blah and 1% of any info.
This is extremely helpful! I know it's been a year and a half since you recorded this, but I'm inspired to get started. Thanks!😀
That's so lovely to hear! I definitely want to help as much as possible :) Be sure to check out all the other Udemy videos on my channel - there's lots of updates! Good luck with your journey :D
Great video with refreshing honesty and clarity. I've often thought about venturing down the Udemy route and producing my own courses, but I've heard a lot of bad things. Like how the excessive use of coupon codes means that you're likely to only get a tiny fraction of the amount that you sell your course for. There is also the issue of plagiarism, with people stealing all your course content and releasing their own course - rebranded as theirs. But well done to you - you've done tremendously well on it.
Yep - all very true!! You need to be making a LOT of sales to make it worth it as you'll typically only make about $2-5 per sale. Got a new video coming out tomorrow about my worst performing courses that you might find interesting!
Looking forward to that! I think some people have already suggested it, but it would be good if you could make a full course about making a Udemy course. Content could include the planning stage, equipment and software used and the production phase. I know there's a few of these kind of courses flying about, but they're not always as good as they could be. I'm sure you could make a decent one.
I absolutely appreciate your honesty here, thank you for creating this video.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful 🎉
Thankyou for the inspiration! Im about to launch my first course soon and all this gets me motivated and skilled up, thanks again.
Fantastic!! I look forward to hearing about it 🙌
You are so candid and fluid with your explanation. Thank you!
Thank you! Really glad you found it helpful :D
I'm super intrigued by udemy! love to hear more about the process and putting a course together, or a quick over view. these are all super helpful!
OK awesome! I'm going to make a detailed course on it I think, but in the meantime I'll post some more videos about the process and tips! What do you think you'd teach?
that would be wonderful. between us we've had years of act/performance/improv experience. so we're leaning towards a public speeking course. also, budgeting, as this has been a huge part of how we've been able to travel time and again. also, thank you for taking the time. you are very eloquent and have a way of putting things that helps clarify things. have a wonderful day -h
Aww that's so kind of you! Really thrilled you're finding the videos useful and interesting :) Have added budgeting as a new video idea - I'm kind of a pro ;)
A public speaking course is a good idea! There are a few like that which are really successful :) Let me know when it comes out!!
By the way... I've started a sign up for people who want my Udemy tutorial course when it's out... might be of interest to you! docs.google.com/forms/d/16WagWBWaBdQCJMIQcral8Ma6HnqVHB9bhNAfT7a5v04/edit
I like the frank sharing. It's as authentic as it could get. Great video!
Wow, thanks Frederick. That means a lot! Glad it was helpful :) About time I did another one now!!
thank you, this is helpful and I keep coming back to it... esp the first couple of months. I just posted my course about a week ago and after 6-7 solid months of work, it feels like a fragile time because i don't have any social proof yet. I sure hope that I find some students. right now, it feels that I never will, LOL. I have seen your updated video so I know where this goes, but its important to see your beginning actually. I sure hope to make my $40 in a month LOL but that's looking doubtful. then again, I still have much to do such as my intro video and my youtube channel needs to be updated. I'm finding it hard to get motivated tho as I feel that my course is failing. yet, i know its the most important time to keep going.
Keep up good work Louise. Inspiring
+chicvoyagegroup thanks so much! Right back at ya my friend 👌 in fact I'm probably long overdue an update to this now!
Thanks for sharing your journey !!!!
you're freaking awesome. Got your course creation course :) thanks so much.
Amazing!! That is so awesome to hear. I can't wait to hear how it goes!
This was so nice of you to share your income. Thank you for the breakdown. Big hug!
Happy to help! Hope it gets you further along your journey :)
Loved it!!!!
My suggestions:
- Show the courses you have
- Show the most successful course
- Explain how you make your videos
- How long does it take you to upload and release a course
- And I saw names of your courses different and pictures of other people. Do you have other people making courses for you, or do you do them yourself with knowledge you have?
Thanksss!!! :)
Brilliant! That's a ton of helpful ideas :) Thanks!
This will probably end up being several videos!! Much appreciated.
@@digitalnomadgirl and the question?????? If there others participating, there is really not much left considering all that work. And you are on the top 3% on Udemy. Looks like for most people a waste.
That's interesting information about Udemy!
Thank you for such great honest insight. Very valuable for new starters.
Really glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the support :)
Thank you for this great presentation.
Refreshingly transparent. These videos are great help for the next wave of digital nomads. Thank you.
Wow Matt - thanks for such a lovely comment. I really want to try and encourage new people and be honest about what they can expect :) There is a lot of misleading information out there so hopefully I can be the straight talking one! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video, I am watching this video and preparing my first course as well :)
Good to see you so honest.
Thanks! I think it's helpful to people to see true numbers online :)
Absolutely brilliant, Louise! I have thought of producing Udemy/online courses over the previous few years to stop relying on F2F bookings, but have always been a bit scared and unsure (I'm a true technophobe at heart!). This video is a dream come true and even more perfect that it's you in front of the camera. Thank for this frank and honest look - you've inspired me to pick this up again and investigate. I'll find you on Udemy and hopefully can give you a thumbs up??? Just brilliant.
Hi Hayley. Yay this is such lovely news!! Will let you know when the Udemy training course is out :) Would be great to get your opinion on it! Also you're SO GOOD on camera - you'd slay it :) So don't be nervous
Excellent video! It answered everything I needed to know
So glad to hear that!! Thanks for watching 💕
this video is very helpful thanks for sharing those information, all the best
Any time! I'm so thrilled to have been helpful :) Any other videos you'd like?
I like your style of explaining
This is incredible. Fantastic information. We would love to record a podcast with you for our Sucess4Meets series about your work and building your own business.
+Success4Global glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to send me an email with info :)
Wow thank you for this info. I was thinking about putting a course up on Udemy, and I will take this info into consideration. Btw I like your personality, you are very easy to watch and listen to, especially your voice.
Great! Glad you found it interesting. I've got lots of videos about udemy so check them out too :) good luck with your course
@@digitalnomadgirl Hey great Info! I published my first course in udemy. It doesn't go well. No one seems to downloading. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!!! Very helpful!
So glad you found it useful :)
i love this content
Great video! A video on how your promote course once there out would be great.. Thanks
Ok great! Will do :) Is making online courses something you'd be interested in doing?
Thats great, Yes I am thinking about making some short courses. Thanks
I fine this helpful,I like to hear more on this. Thank you
Cool thanks for the info it takes time thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for watching and supporting!
Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking into teaching on Udemy. Just subbed to your channel. I’m a new youtuber and looking for other streams of income.
Just bought your course! Getting started ASAP! Let me know if you’re coming down the Koh Tao way as I’m here for a few months
EPIC! This is so exciting :D I'll be really intrigued to hear what you think of it - I hope you get a ton of value. We'll be back in Thailand in September I think so I won't catch you this time - but I'd love to hear about Koh Tao as I've never been!
lovely video thanks for posting
Thank you for your honesty😊
You're so welcome! I really hope you found it useful :)
Thanks a lot for this awesome video with a lot of informations and thanks also for the ressources you shared :)
Happy to help!! Really thrilled that you enjoyed it :D
Your so transparent with your info that is refreshing. Thanks for sharing, and tons of success to you
Thanks so much! That really means a lot :) I hope it'll help a lot of people to get some straight talking advice!! Do you have any Udemy courses or considering it?
I just barely started dig-in into the passive income world, so Udemy sounded greatly attractive to make it work. I didn't know if to build a platform directly or use one already created... I'm still debating what to do
Perhaps I'll make a video on this... there are so many pros and cons to either! I think it mostly depends on what your skill set and interests are and how much time you have to give to it :) What are you going to teach>
That's a video would watch! Make sure you credit me as such a deep inspirer ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
Awesome and honest, great job 👍🏻
Could you please tell me the list of software you used to record the courses? I prefer windows machine.
Very good video. Thank you for sharing.
Good video with a lot of transparency. How do you price your courses? And how long are they on average?
Thanks so much for saying! Really means a lot :)
I'm going to make a whole course all about selling on Udemy so if you're interested then sign up using the link in the description :)
The short answer really is that the price doesn't matter as Udemy constantly discount to $10! So I normally go for somewhere between £75-150 depending on the topic and the competitors. But honestly they almost never sell for full price.
And they're normally about 2 hours long :)
Are you considering making a course?
Great video! Thank you very much for the video!
Happy to help!
thanx so much for being upfront and honest about udemy its like a secret cult nobody talks about lol, btw, how did you make so many courses so fast? its inspiring!
Thanks for this!
You're very welcome :D Thanks for watching!
Great great Video!!!
Just want to let you know your video gave me the idea to make a course and now for the last few years I make a full time living on Udemy
Thanks for your insights.
Very very helpful. Thanks a lot :)
So glad you found it useful! 🎉
Thank you so much for sharing this information. How do you make so many courses?
Credit where it's due Louise, this is absolute quality and massive value to anyone interested in doing the same, which coincidentally I think should be your next course. No joke, there is someone making a killing out of a course titled something along the lines of 'how to make a course on udemy'. 💷💷💷💷💷💷💷
Yeah it's been on my mind to make one... think there's a big demand for one that's more honest and less spammy. But also don't want to be known for making money talking about making money! But yeah it's on the cards and I think it would genuinely help people :)
People have a choice to buy or not to buy at the end of the day. After all, there are business consultants that advise on how to set up a business. If I find my notes on the person I referred to I'll PM you. Have a great day.
Yep very true!! Gotta give the people what they want :D Thanks so much for the support as always Sean!!!
Digital Nomad Girl you're most welcome.
Wow - good to know!! Thanks Marrie :D Gonna set the wheels in motion I think.
Thanks for the push guys!
Thank you so much
Would love to hear an update on your earnings!!
Superb.
Awesome, thank you so much !!!!!! Suggestion: could you make a video for the beginners how to marketing the courses and the management of the free or discounted coupons for bringing turn over. Thank you soooo much. Mohamed from France.
Informative video; thanks. It does however makes me wonder about the expertise level of those courses. Probably most courses are sold outside the US? Thanks again.
Very informative!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing video. I am planning on launching my first course this December. Do you have tips for how to rank higher on the search engine on Udemy? Also, how do you come up with course topics??
Hi! Yay that's so exciting :)
I cover a lot of info about coming up with topics and creating a Udemy course in my course: www.udemy.com/udemy-masterclass-passive-income/?couponCode=DNGFAN10
But for ranking on Google I recommend Scott Duffy's course.
I absolutely appreciate your honesty here, thank you for creating this video! Is this after taxes? Are taxes handled by Udemy or by yourself?
You are lovely and informative. Thanks so much!
You're so welcome! Thanks for the support :) Let me know if you have video requests!
Will do! It's my first month with Udemy and I'm doing better than I expected so I'm very happy. Have you noticed some days being huge sales days and some days having literally ZERO sales?
That's so good to hear! Yeah it depends entirely on what promos Udemy are doing :) I try not to watch too closely or I go crazy! Just start working on your next course :D
Haha, I maaay have been checking it obsessively the first few weeks. ;) And will do! I'm already working on the next course.
Thanks for sharing. It's worth the time. Half nomad here (Y)
Great to have you! :)
Extremely helpful
+SpiriTrek so glad to hear that!! Do you teach on Udemy?
I'm working on my first course now actually. Headed towards the nomadic lifestyle and getting some things in order in advance.
Thank you
Many Thanks
this is really interesting. something I would be interested in doing.
Cool! Did you see there's a sign up list for a new course I'm launching? There's a link in the description box :) I'm releasing a course soon of all my top tips for Udemy. Hope you find it useful!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting :) Do you teach online?
Great video lovely!!!
Thanks my love!! How's the music coming along??
Can you please do a video on making money through voice overs?
More like I'm seeing the high time is always near the final exam time 😅🤣
blows my mind
I hope that's in a good way! Did you find the video interesting?
Great
Nice job with this video! Great info and very transparent. Much appreciated. I would be curious to know how long your average Udemy course is and if you see any correlation between course length and earnings? Or are earnings only correlated to topic?
Hi Michael, Thanks so much for the feedback - really glad you enjoyed the video! I guess my sample size isn't huge... but in my opinion the course length doesn't matter much. I aim for 1.5-3.5 hours per course and as a student I think that's what I would want. However, some courses might need to really long (coding?) but in that case I'd be tempted to split them into two! For me the topic is by FAR the most important factor. Good luck!
Really very helpful would be an update as this is now 3 years ago! How are your thoughts on Udemy as a way to earn money?
Thank you sooo much.
Happy to help :)
Hello :)
It's a first for me to leave a comment on a youtube vid, but I think you definitely have to be encouraged to follow this honesty path
Dang - I'm honoured!! Thanks so much :) Really thrilled you enjoyed it and it's encouraged you to give it a go yourself.
Following all the requests on this video I'm going to make a Udemy course on launching a Udemy course. Never thought I'd say that!! But so many people are asking for it that I think it's time :D Will let you know when it's out!
Also added your other requests to my to-do list. I've already filmed a video about the worst performing courses (currently editing it) so will also do one for the best (and why) asap.
Thanks again for the support! Will see you in the other videos soon I'm sure :D
Are you the one who teaches in all those courses?
How much time is every course and how are you making them so fast?
This is so inspiring! 😃 I've been putting it off making a Udemy course for months now. Should really get myself into it. Lol. Do you have any video already made about needed stuff for making courses? Like microphones, etc. Is it really a must? 🙂
Yes you totally should!! I actually have a course alllll about that: Here is a special discount for subscribers: www.udemy.com/udemy-masterclass-passive-income/?couponCode=DNGFAN10
I would definitely recommend creating a course - it's changed my life!
@@digitalnomadgirl Finally took the course! And I just finished it. :) Thanks Louise. By any chance, do you know how long it takes to get a response back about the test videos? I sent my test video last Wednesday last week, I thought it will only take 48 hours as they said in the email, but it's now Monday. :/ Also, still finding my way around the site, hmmnn.... how do I get to the discussion forum? :D
thank you once again
+Soggy Passport you're welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :)
Thank you so much! 😀😀😀
Happy to help!
Friend, the video quality is simply superb. I want to know how you have created this video? Have you used a web camera or a mobile phone for recording this video? Could you please tell me which equipment you have used for recording this video?
Hello! I actually have a video all about my tech :) But the short answer is I use the G7X and the Rode Videomic Pro :)
Good job
Thanks Ian! Appreciate the support :D
So much we can do online now. Amazing.
I know right!! So crazy that just a few years ago none of this would have been possible. I wonder what it'll be like for our kids...?!?!
Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching :)
Slayyyyyy girl!!
You cutie
Thanks!!!
You're welcome :) so glad you found it useful!
so interesting! What do you make your courses on? Just things youre interested in?
Pretty much! Maybe this would be a good video topic.... what do you think?
Hey Louise! Have you ever thought of taking your best seller and hosting and promoting it yourself?
Hi Pierre. Sorry that I didn't see your comment at the time! Hope I'm not too late to reply!
I have indeed yes... and I intend to at some point. But it's a LOT of effort compared to Udemy. I love that udemy is 100% passive for me and I kind of think "if it aint broke!". I'm making a really nice income and I know that I could make more if I self hosted but it would be like starting from the beginning again.
Do you have experience in it? Any tips??
Fantastic ! keep on ! ;-)
Thanks for the support!! Do you work online?
Thanks for the share, I am also a Udemy instructor
Awesome! What do you teach?
Web development and Unity 3D, I can send you a free coupon if you want to check some of the courses.
Sure! That's very kind of you :)
Nice to see the trajectory of your success.. I have 5 courses on Udemy nice to see what I could potentially earn if I had 25 courses :)
Keep up the great work! 5 is already very impressive :D
@@digitalnomadgirl Thanks for the encouragement! I have sent you an email as I have a specific delicate question about Udemy.
How do you get your courses on udemy business, whats the criteria?
Do you have to pay something to udemy? Does Udemy takes something from your PayPal you link it to? I'd like to publish a course on Udemy but I'm afraid there could be fees or taxes that I'm unaware of
Thank you. Your honesty in a world full of posers and fakers is very, very refreshing. 😉
That's so lovely to hear :) Exactly the aim of this channel!
i like when udemy
Please make video on what should we do if i find my udemy,teachable,lynda ,thinkific ,etc courses on torrent or pirated websites?
+Shubham Srivastava man Im so sorry to hear that :( it's really terrible that people steal! I think if you report it to Udemy their legal team will take action. Good luck!
WOW thanks for this I
So glad it helped you :)
Great. Just loved it.
---I am on my way to make my course too. Do share some more keys to get this advertise.
Thanks... keep up doing good.
Exciting stuff! Let me know when you're course is out :D Will work on an advertising video too!
Great. I would love that as i am still learning through you.
@@LetsDesignToday is your course out? Can you send a link here?
