Create & Sell an Online Course on the Side
Learn how to create, teach, market, and sell an online course on Udemy while working a full-time job (no audience needed)...guaranteed or your money back
This is a pre-recorded course that gives you everything you need to know about how to turn your knowledge into something you can teach in easy-to-follow steps (even if you don't know where to start).
It's the system I used to go from zero to over 229,000+ students with no paid ads (and a relatively small social following).
Who is this for?
The course is for full-time employees and entrepreneurs who are interested in teaching their first pre-recorded course on Udemy (and don't have a lot of time to spend on marketing it or building an audience).
It's for anyone who would like to turn their knowledge into income, even if they have no idea about what course topic to choose, and have little time to spend on creating and marketing a course.

A Little About Me
My name is Hassan Osman and I'm a creator on the side. I've published 9 courses on Udemy all while working a demanding full-time job (views are my own). Over 229,000+ students have enrolled in my courses so far, and a few of them are bestsellers (see below; you can also view all my courses on Udemy by clicking here).
I'm also part of the Udemy Instructor Partner Program, an official program for instructors who consistently receive high course ratings on the platform (I have an average rating of 4.5 out of 5.0 stars from over 86,000+ public reviews).
I rely on Udemy's marketplace for sales and don't spend time promoting my courses. I also have a relatively small social media following, so I don't depend on an existing audience for enrollments.
In this course, I'll show you everything I know about how to create, market, and sell a bestselling course on the side.
