Udemy Course Promotions- How to Promote Your Udemy Course on Udemy

I want to share my strategy for Udemy Course promotions with you, showing you step by step how to send promotions for your Udemy courses to students on Udemy.

Udemy Course Promotions

This is the process I use for sending out my Udemy Course Promotions.

The process is explained in the video above.  The details are summarised in the notes below.

With over 30 courses, it can be very time consuming and even with a clear system, this process takes me around an hour at a time.

With so many courses its not pratical to send promotions out to all of my courses at once so I group my courses into four related Groups

1. Entrepreneurship
2. Marketing
3. Online Business
4. Udemy Related Courses

I then send out my Udemy course promotions out to students in these groups, rather than one at a time

Timing

You are permitted to send out two Udemy Course promotions “promotional announcements” per course each month.

Grouping promotions means that students don’t get overwhelmed.  If you send out too many promotional announcements Students unsubscribe from emails and Udemy hates this.  They carefully monitor the unsubscribe rate and will penalise you if your students start unsubscribing from receiving Udemy emails.

Sending promos one course at a time means students will get too many promotional emails from you each month
