ConvertKit

Udemy’s First ConvertKit Course Launches

I made the switch from email marketing app MailChimp to ConvertKit last November and loved it so much I created Udemy’s first course on ConvertKit. Why? My Udemy Co-Instructor Phil Ebiner and I explain in this fun promo video we shot for the course. I convinced Phil why he should use ConvertKit to grow his business Video School Online. I started using ConvertKit after building a sizable list with MailChimp’s Forever Free Plan. However I wasn’t seeing much growth with my revenue and my list had grown to the point where I got bumped into MailChimp’s paid plan. I knew that I had to do something different or I’d just be tossing money from my checking account. That’s when I started thinking about switching to ConvertKit since I live near Boise and have met the founder Nathan Barry. I liked what he was doing and followed his success with the books he had written and the amazing revenue he was generating. I would recommend you follow his blog for some useful marketing advice and check out these tools that I use too. I made the switch and started thinking about how I could teach others about ConvertKit through Udemy. Phil was part of a mastermind group I started but I had known him since starting on Udemy. I had followed his impressive success on Udemy where he’s now earning $10,000 a month from Udemy. However through our conversations I felt that ConvertKit could help him see the same growth I was seeing with my websites and the book launch I was working on. Here’s a breakdown of my Subscribers captures from today 4/12/2016 and showing the amount joining each day. March 25th was the day I imported 299 subscribers from my social media marketing list on MailChimp. That means I’ve added over 600 new subscribers to my list on ConvertKit in just the last 30 days. In that time I’ve launched a new book, new Udemy Course and my new website Free Courses Daily. Imagine the success you could have with your own list using ConvertKit. Phil and I will show you how by signing up for my list to take the course free. You don’t need ConvertKit to take the course but I recommend it and best of all you can use it for 30-days and ask for your $29 back if you aren’t satisfied. I will even walk you through getting it set up over Skype if you use my affiliate link below and get started now! Ready to sign up? By this point, you understand why I teach and preach ConvertKit. I switched over from using MailChimp because it just works better for me as an online entrepreneur. Here’s 5 reasons you should consider switching to ConvertKit: Simple Interface Automated Email Sequences Automated Triggers Integrates With Other Platforms Like Gravity Forms Helpful Blog Post So You Get More Out Of ConvertKit If you think ConvertKit is for you, I’ve got a special offer: If you sign up through my affiliate link I will give you 30 mins of my time every 3 months for as long as you stay with ConvertKit. You can use that time however you want, either on a Skype call or helping set something up for you in ConvertKit. Now all you have to do is click the link and get started just like I did. I will see you on Skype soon! If you’re interested, sign up for ConvertKit. You can try it and get a 30-day refund if it doesn’t work out.That’s what Phil and I did but you can see we are both still using it would much success. I think you’ll see that too and continue using ConvertKit to grow your list and revenue. Try it out! And see if it works for you! *The link that I shared above is an affiliate link. At no cost to you, I will make a few bucks for recommending you try out ConvertKit. I do this because I use it daily and love ConvertKit. I wouldn’t pitch the product to you if I didn’t. Please, only sign up for ConvertKit if you are ready to invest in your business and start building your sales funnels!

Udemy Instructor Syed Hassan Bukhari Udemy Life Interview

Udemy Instructor Syed Hassan Bukhar Udemy Life Interview Do you remember when you first came across Udemy? Were you doing online courses before Udemy? Yes, I remember. I started in summers of 2014, but I was not able to get approved on Udemy. So, I temporarily stopped doing it and started working again in September, 2014, and got approved. Well, I was totally new to online course teaching. I wasn’t doing any other online courses before Udemy.  When did you launch your first course on Udemy? I launched my first Udemy course in September, 2014. How many do you have now? I’ve got 5 courses What’s your most popular course? My first course is still the most popular one. Do you have a course creation tip? Yes, I guess. We should first record all the lectures, and once that all is done, then we can do the editing stuff. It saves me a lot of time and I have even filmed courses within 2 – 3 days. How about advice on marketing Udemy courses? Udemy does the marketing pretty good for us, but for our own promotion social media (specially Facebook) is a very good way to promote, also you can do this by distributing your coupons on coupon sharing sites. What tools do you use to stay productive throughout the day? Well, there is no such thing that I use to be productive. Well, when I want to note down something or want to write instructional details about something. I do it on Microsoft word. Moreover, if I want to create a detailed article about a particular topic before creating an actual video course. I do it on my blog admin panel (WordPress). What advice would you give to other Udemy instructors? I would like to advise instructors to make courses with unique ideas, they sell the best. What advice would you give to newbies? In my opinion, newbies should first thoroughly study the topic that they are teaching. It is good to use a script, but it is even better if you have all the contents inside your brain and you can speak it without using a script that looks more realistic and awesome. I do that. Once you’ve researched on the topic completely it won’t be very difficult. It is obvious that we always have to review that information that we know and further research so we can teach with more practical examples and teach people the right thing, so it is a good idea to do research. Are you able to share with others what your monthly revenue is? Well, I don’t do promotion on my own, Udemy does that for me and I earn a couple of hundred dollars each month which is good enough. I don’t want to share the exact amount.  What are some of the things Udemy has allowed you to do? Udemy has allowed me to interact with the world in an efficient way. I don’t think I would have been able to reach such a big number of students from so many different places. I’ve got thousands of students from 130+ different countries and the entire credit goes to Udemy that helped me provide my courses to these people. Any upcoming courses? Right now, I’ve got upcoming exams. So, I’m working for that. The exams are coming a few months. After that I’ll have enough time to work on my courses. How about one last thought or piece of advice? Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts over here. It really feels great to share what I feel; it might help someone. In my last words, I want to say best of luck to all the people who have plans to make courses on Udemy, and want to encourage them that it really is an amazing market, go for it. That’s it, thanks again. Udemy Profile: https://www.udemy.com/user/syedhassanrazashah
