Passive Income Blueprint: Creating and Selling Profitable Udemy Courses like the top 1% instructors (Unofficial)

4.6
68 reviews

Created by: Passive Income Gen Z

Last updated July 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 68 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a guide to selling courses on Udemy, taught by Hamza Rouane, a digital marketer who runs Passive Income Gen Z. It is unofficial and not tied to Udemy. The syllabus covers choosing a niche, keyword research, building an outline, recording with cheap gear, Canva thumbnails, writing the description, and promoting through YouTube, LinkedIn and Pinterest. Later sections add ChatGPT and other AI tools. It is aimed at first-time instructors, including people who would rather not be on camera.

Reviewers mostly like it. Of 68 ratings, 53 are five stars. Students call the content practical and the delivery clear, and one says the instructor explains the why behind the course. The complaints are consistent, though. Two reviewers say ideas are repeated too often, one of them noting the same point comes in three or four sentences. Some videos run long, one reviewer says, and another found the presentation unpolished. A third thought certain tips, like opening a new account for a discount, were not very helpful. A one-star review is about an update that was promised and had not arrived after months.

At 16.4 hours across 128 lectures, it is long, and at least two reviewers think it could be shorter. The course itself says results vary and promises no income. It holds a 4.6 rating and has over 8,000 students. As a practical primer for new instructors it is a fair pick, though anyone who dislikes repetition may find it a slog.

Best forFirst-time instructors, including camera-shy ones, who want a practical plan for picking a niche and getting a Udemy course found.
Skip it ifYou dislike repetition and long videos, or want a polished, professionally produced presentation.

I have been waiting for this update for more than 6 months. You promised 2 months ago that the update would be released that month, yet I am still waiting. I have been very patient, but I feel it is unfair to wait this long.

By Abi F on 5/15/2025

Hi Rouane, you've again produced another impressive, very useful and very valuable course. Thank you.

"I came here using a free coupon, which is why I'm giving this a 5-star rating. However, in my opinion, it should be rated as 3.5 to 4 stars because some facts are repeated too often, and some of the tips are not very helpful. For example, creating a new account for a discount may not be a good idea. Also, some of the videos are unnecessarily long and could be shortened. Furthermore, it would be more comfortable if the default language on the computer was set to English instead of mixing languages. Nevertheless, you are a good instructor. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not going to lower your rating, but I encourage you to improve further."

By Tom Raymond on 1/25/2023

The instructor speaks clearly and enunciates his words clearly. He also, from the time I've heard him so far, explains the "why" for the course.
