1
00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:04,890
So I also want to talk about the fact that you don't want to sleep on free courses as well in the next

2
00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:07,620
two lectures, so first and foremost, this lecture run a cover.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,860
Why should throw playlists up even if they're short playlists?

4
00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:11,110
Right.

5
00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:14,340
So, like, you might go back if we go back to my my play this right here.

6
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:17,700
Obviously, like the social media marketing playlist has twelve videos.

7
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:18,740
I can turn that into a course.

8
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:19,010
Right.

9
00:00:19,290 --> 00:00:21,720
E-mail blasting for mic for commissions has 16 videos.

10
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:23,150
I can potentially turn that intro course.

11
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:24,810
Same thing with this one right now.

12
00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:29,880
If we scroll down right here, you'll see like Web site traffic has four videos and you might think,

13
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:32,310
well, I can't really turn that into a into a course.

14
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:34,050
And you and this might be where you're at.

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,230
If you have a relatively small channel right now and you don't have a lot of content.

16
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:37,510
Right.

17
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:42,720
But you actually can turn that into a course and upload it as a free course because it doesn't have

18
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,710
that much value yet.

19
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,910
And then as you add videos, too, in the future, you can then turn it into a paid course.

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,740
Don't sleep on free courses.

21
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:54,750
They're great opportunities to be lead magnets on you to me, because a lot of people see free courses

22
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:55,950
and try to take advantage of them.

23
00:00:56,190 --> 00:01:00,000
You're going to get a lot of students in your course almost like if you were giving coupon codes away

24
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:00,780
because it's free.

25
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:02,040
And then what?

26
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,520
You're going to have the student base are going to have the watch time so that when you turn it into

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,440
a paid course in the future, then it obviously will earn more for you and we'll have more content.

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,170
So it's like the value of paid yourself.

29
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,370
Don't sleep on paid courses.

30
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,340
If you look right here, Web site tips to increase reach and traffic.

31
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:20,820
That is literally the same playlist right here.

32
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:23,190
And I turned it into a free course on you to me.

33
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:25,680
And it will go live, obviously, once I upload everything.

34
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:28,500
So, look, they're all sitting right here.

35
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:34,590
I added a pixel, so I added those those three, four videos literally right here, clip them down and

36
00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:35,130
added them.

37
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:38,250
And then I added one other video.

38
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:42,420
The course wrap up, which I haven't found yet, the bonus lecture, and then I'm going to film the

39
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:42,840
course.

40
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:44,460
Welcome an overview as my intro.

41
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,130
So this is gonna be a free as you can see.

42
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,270
It's already set to free.

43
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:49,440
It's gonna be a free course.

44
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:53,160
Just to bring in people as a lead magnet into my Udemy instructor profile.

45
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:55,090
They might then go over to my YouTube channel.

46
00:01:55,110 --> 00:01:56,970
They might, you know, go over to my Facebook page.

47
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,840
They might subscribe to my Web site or they might purchase another course from me.

48
00:02:01,050 --> 00:02:02,610
So don't sleep on free courses.

49
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:05,240
You can set, you know, if you don't have a big playlist.

50
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,320
You can upload it as a udemy free course.

51
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,510
Use it as a lead magnet for a while to bring in other customers potentially, and then turn it into

52
00:02:12,510 --> 00:02:14,630
a paid course later once you get more content on it.

53
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,560
So that's the first strategy.

54
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Now you can bring millions of students.

55
00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:21,570
I wrote these down to make sure I hit them home, so I'm going to read them off to you guys.

56
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:24,180
And especially in the next lecture when you turn into a paid course.

57
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:28,860
But people always say, why would I waste my time to create a free course on you to me?

58
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:30,630
And it's like, why wouldn't you?

59
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:35,310
Obviously, the majority of your courses like mine, I have like 50 courses on my own, my main instructor

60
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:35,820
profile.

61
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:37,350
And I think, like, ten of them are free.

62
00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:40,890
So the majority of those courses are paid courses, but ten of them are lead man.

63
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:46,200
It's bringing in a lot of students who then potentially take my paid courses that wouldn't have otherwise

64
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,090
been introduced to me as an instructor.

65
00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:50,790
If they had to pay for a normal course because they want to paid for it.

66
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:51,050
Right.

67
00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:55,560
So it's a great way to introduce yourself to other potential customers that wouldn't have otherwise

68
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,460
found out about you.

69
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,510
You can put yours.

70
00:02:57,540 --> 00:03:02,670
You can bring millions of students to your brand, to other platforms, and build brand awareness.

71
00:03:02,730 --> 00:03:07,590
And also unity boasts, like we've said a million times, Udemy boasts 20 million plus students now,

72
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:13,410
which I'd probably assume is closer to 30 million plus students now that that last number was from like

73
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:14,370
a couple years ago.

74
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:18,570
So it's probably closer to 30 million plus, if not more on their platform.

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,840
And three courses get a ton of students into them, which is basically a free marketing technique to

76
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,220
pull people into your other content.

77
00:03:26,270 --> 00:03:31,140
OK, so don't sleep on Udemy free courses even if you don't have a lot of content.

78
00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:36,030
If your players are small, you can still upload content to them as a free course.

79
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:36,420
OK.
