Frequently Asked Questions
How do I price my online course?
Price based on transformation value, not hours of content. A course that helps someone get a job ($50k salary) can charge $500–$2,000. Starter courses: $97–$297. Mid-tier: $297–$997. Premium/coaching hybrid: $997–$5,000+.
What's the best platform for selling online courses?
Teachable and Thinkific are best for beginners (free tier available). Kajabi ($149/mo) is best for serious creators (built-in email, pages, no fees). Udemy gives you their marketplace traffic but takes 50% and controls pricing.
How many students do successful courses have?
A successful niche course might have 100–1,000 students at $200–$1,000 each. A blockbuster course (Udemy) might have 10,000+ students at $15–$30 each. Revenue is often similar — small niche courses often outperform volume plays.
