Udemy and other online class sites.

Online education has rapidly become a popular method for learning. Online education marketplaces likeUdemyprovide an excellent income producing opportunity and the chance to get your name in front of a highly interested and motivated audience. Offering a free intro class for free is an effective lead-generation tool. What makes this tool even more appealing is you can message members of your audience any time to provide class updates, which essentially acts as an email opt-in.

To get started, search Udemy to find out which types of courses are already offered and which courses seem to be most popular. Are there any gaps? Is there a niche you could fill? Avoid offering courses that are too general in nature. Many people shy away from the thought of creating a video course, but if you already have blog posts or video content, you could likely repurpose that content into a course.

Offering free courses is an excellent way to build your brand and your leads at the same time. Prospective customers can get to know you, your business and your products or services. Once people are familiar with you, they will naturally seek out your paid services and products.
