Udemy Business Plan
Udemy Business Success
Do you want to learn how to build a business selling online training courses on Udemy?
Do you want to develope online residual income?
That brings in money whilst you are with family, with friends, whilst you are sleeping, do you have expertise that others would pay you to share?
Udemy Earning Potential
The earning potential on Udemy can be astronomical.
Of course, not everyone can reach those heights, but creating a full or part time residual income is a reality for many Udemy instructors.
Not Everyone On Udemy Succeeds
Yet some instructors seem to really struggle with making any money on Udemy and creating Udemy courses that sell and often give up after a short burst of effort.
Why is this?
Why do some succeed and some fail?
A lot of the time it is because they lack an online residual income business development strategy...
Or they do not understand how the Udemy business model works!

Good and necessary information to succeed on Udemy. I'm following each step and will check out more from this instructor. He's straight to the point, no fluff; and, at first, I was thinking he could have been a little more engaging, BUT, truth is, we are so used to being "entertained" that when someone gives us what's necessary to help us, we sometimes think of it as boring, instead of appreciating true value. This right here is true value, and for that I give Mark Timberlake 5 stars.

I appreciate structure provided with respect to building a Udemy business. The metaphors were very helpful in clarifying general concepts. There were lots of useful tips. The Grid Analysis section was not entirely clear to me about how to come up with a total but I found the general concept sensible.

Well done Mark! Many thanks, I enjoyed the way you present and learnt many new things also about Marketing.
By Ian Stables on 11/12/2016
Absolutely fabulous. I have much experience in marketing and also on Udemy. The advice Mark gives is absolutely spot on. If you teach on Udemy or plan to, there is insights and knowledge here that you don't want to miss. Here's my advice: Take this course before you waste time on the wrong track.
By Alan Boyer on 2/24/2016
This is the most valuable course I've found on becoming successful in Udemy that I've found. As a business coach for over 14 years, I am very familiar with marketing. It is rare that I find something new in marketing, yet, at almost every lecture Mark has taught me something new and very valuable. I can't emphasize enough about how valuable Mark and this course is. Thanks Mark

Mark's Udemy course creation lecture is one of the best out there. He doesn't just go into the nuts and bolts of how to create a course, but he teaches what you have to do to successfully market your course to make the sales. So far I have published two courses of my own, and had been a little dissapointed in sales. After listening to Mark, I found that I was actually on the right track, but had to step up my game marketing wise. Ideas on how to do this and enhance my brand were constantly popping in my head. Thanks again for such a great course!

Mark does an outstanding job in all of his courses and this is no exception. The information is very valuable and super easy to digest thanks to Marks expert delivery. Marks personality is very agreeable and it's a pleasure to listen to him throughout the course. In addition to the incredible information and delivery, the course is visually very attractive with easy to follow power points and fantastic technical elements. This course will put you leaps above the time curve if you are planning to start a Udemy business, don't learn things the hard way, let Mark teach you straight away and you'll be successful. Well done, thoroughly benefited and enjoyed.

Mark is a highly trusted and esteemed instructor. You can bet if he says it, then its probably true when it comes to building a Udemy Business. He is a genius and the tools and tricks that he teaches in this course is exactly how I am where I am at today as a Udemy instructor. TAKE THIS COURSE! You won't regret it! :) Great Job Mark.
By Sally Apokedak on 9/29/2015
I appreciated all the marketing advice in this course. Mark is knowledgable. I've taken other courses of his and also gotten his free newsletter for a while and he's always passing on useful information, so I was not surprised to find that I got a lot out of this course. If you are just starting out on Udemy or if you've been here a while and you are looking for ways to improve your business, you're sure to find help here.

For those considering building a Udemy/Online Course based business -- one that provides independence, residual income and opportunities to really help others -- then this is the course for you. Be warned though that it's a marathon and not a sprint. In fact, it's the the first 12 to 18 months that will really make the difference, and it is precisely this period of time that Mark Timberlake focuses on to help you succeed. I feel as if Mark really pulled out all the stops for this one. It's as if he's your mentor, guiding you through the entire process from the pro's and con's of marketing yourself vs your brand, to what equipment not to buy in the beginning. He shows you how to structure your marketing funnel within the context of course clusters. Having "been there, done that," Marks also has some wise words to say about how to get through that inevitable tough stretch of time just before take off. I feel as if I now have a road map to follow based on time proven principles, plus specific advise to help me avoid rookie mistakes. I predict this course will be considered a classic for anyone contemplating making online course delivery a business of their own.
