Udemy works somewhat similarly to Skillshare. It’s also an online course marketplace where users can find whatever they need using the site’s search bar. Creators can add their courses for free and then earn money through a percentage of the ticket prices. Courses on Udemy are video-based, which adds another layer of complexity to the loan database creation process. While Udemy has helpful resources and tutorials on how to create courses, it’s ultimately up to you to create something of sufficient quality. The most notable courses on the site are in the development, business, IT and software , and design categories. The main difference between Udemy and Skillshare — from a user perspective — is that each course is paid for individually, rather than by subscription like Skillshare.

Pricing : You can add a course for free. Then you get 50% of the cost of your course, or up to 75% if you participate in Udemy’s marketing and deals program. If you refer someone to your own course (using a special link), you get 97% of the ticket price. And the final, worst-case scenario, if the course sale was driven by a paid Udemy ad, you only get 25%. Udemy courses typically range in price from $15 to $200.

Pros

Access to the market/audience from day one.
Easy to get started.
Creating and posting your course on the site is free.
You can set the price for your course as you wish.
Cons

By default, you only get 50% of the course fee. In practice, it is difficult to get the optimal 97%. If a person is already a Udemy user, they get 50%.
Like Skillshare, Udemy is a great place to start if you want to try your hand at eCommerce for online courses. It’s also the place to go if you want to have a little more control over your course pricing and potential earnings. This platform is designed exclusively for video lessons .
