How to Make Money Selling Online Courses (Even If You Have No Audience)

Ever thought about making money from an online course, but then realized you have zero audience? Don’t worry! I was in the same boat. When I first created my course, I had no followers, no email list, and definitely no fame. But here’s the secret: you don’t need millions of followers to start making money. The first thing I did was focus on a specific niche that had people hungry for knowledge, even if they weren’t big on social media. Then, I created a free mini-course or content to build trust with potential customers. By offering a taste of my expertise, I was able to grab attention. I also used platforms like Udemy or Teachable, which already have built-in traffic. You’ll still have to market, but starting small means you can build organic growth over time. The key? Keep it simple, get your first few students, and let word of mouth work for you. Sure, it’s a challenge, but with consistency, you’ll be making money while teaching people what you know. It’s not about a huge audience—it’s about having the right audience.
