5 Question: Updating Old Courses, Topic Validation, Outsourcing, Udemy’s Longterm Growth

Welcome to an edition of 5 questions, where we answer listener-submitted questions related to teaching online. You can submit your own question at OnlineCourseMasters.com/question. Today's questions are:

1: How do you make sure that your older courses keep earning revenue?
2: Is it better to upgrade an existing course that’s not performing anymore or to reuse and improve the material, publish a new course and retire the old course?
3: What is the best way to validate a course idea: Start with my own platform built in Wordpress or use a turnkey platform like Teachable?
4. Is Udemy still experimenting with raising prices for popular instructors in select markets? Do you see Udemy increasing profit per instructor longterm? I think we’re still at the beginning of Udemy growth and I’d love your thoughts!
5. Did you hire employees or VAs?
