SQL Course Revenue Success

Justin Mares shares a story about his success creating an early course on Udemy.

"When I launched my first Udemy course, I filmed it over 5 days in my bedroom in San Francisco. No good quality, no good editing - candidly it wasn't an amazing course from a student experience standpoint, but the content was good.

Udemy was such an early platform that I put it up there and just by being literally the first guy to talk about 'here's how to learn SQL as a marketer', that course sold $60,000 over the next couple years. To this day I still get $1,000 a month from that course from Udemy, which is absurd.

It worked because here was an emerging platform, they wanted people creating stuff on the supply side, and I created a course that could reach people who were already looking for something on the platform."
