Spent 2+ months this year building two new software courses. They've netted me a total of... $17.00

That's 5 cents per hour at 40/hours a week, not bad!!!!

also please fucking tell me how a $49.99 course with 92 enrollments this month earns me a grand total of $93 (even rounding up here for generosity)

creator: $93
udemy: $4506

udemy: "instructor gets 37% of comissions"

yeah okay then where is my fucking $1000+

I mean what in the literal FUCK is going on here

better put: i average a single fucking dollar for each $50 course I sell?

Please kill me and end it all in this mindless race to the bottom

taking a deep dive on this revenue share and then i'm going to fucking get the money i deserve

    update: most of the people are getting the course for $10-$15 through coupons and or promotions, which means i get only $2-3... still doesn't explain this month's average $1/course revenue

    also skillshare is cutting all software courese not taught by their group of "woke teachers" or whatever the fuck they call it, so that revenue is gone too

    fuck it, just give me the desk job creating charts or fuckall in jquery or whatever i just don't care anymore

    I think you should approach to small companies for team training and build some portfolio and yada yada yada

    Wait how is this possible? Instructors are the ones that make the platform worth going to, you get only 37%???? At least make it 50-50

    and I thought Apple is being greedy taking good cut from apps being sold, turns out Udemy is waaay ahead of them

    @gitpush google and Amazon also only give 30% to the creator and keep the rest.

    @thebiochemic i want to remain anonymous on devrant

    i'm sure the course is garbage since it has over 4000 people who took it and a 4 star rating

    @fullstackclown wait wtf the whole point of a coupon or Smth in this case is that udemy pays for the product as part of the promotional program or whatever. Giving out stuff for free they haven't made is complete bs
