Exactly!

Not a scam…YTD just over 200k in online course sales. They go for $49-$387 per course. Been doing the online courses since ~2019. No paid marketing at all.

Wow, $200k just like that, no marketing? Pretty sweet! Curious, have you tried Teachable or Thinkific for hosting? Pulse can boost Reddit traffic for online courses too!

We do have a pre-recorded info session with a discount code loaded onto our website — that is our only marketing. The rest is Google searches and word of mouth! It’s a very specific niche test prep, and we do well on Google.

@Vale
I’ve found niche targeting really helps with organic traffic. Have you tried optimizing your SEO strategy for even better Google performance? I’ve tested a few platforms like Udemy and found that collaborating with influencers sometimes gives a solid boost in visibility. Interestingly, UsePulse helps drive traffic from discussions like these by tapping into niche subreddits where potential students hang out.

I’m very thankful for the two online courses that I created that have helped support my core business, while helping my students grow their ACT Math scores. It’s allowed me to create additional revenue streams that helped me diversify ways to grow my business.

@Weston
This is a very specific niche, and caters to people that typically are not browsing the internet in that way. A parent can find this, and purchase it for their child!

@Weston
Love to hear this! Great example of ways to diversify your income with some sort of information/educational digital product. Shows that almost any niche or skill can be monetized with digital products and digital marketing.

@Keir
You’re absolutely right…im VERY niche. Recently I’ve been working with schools to site license the software to purchase in bulk. Attended my first trade show to demo the product to HS principals all over the state of OH. IN is the next one in a few weeks. The course has shown a strong positive correlation between usage and increase in ACT math scores, so we are starting to gain some significant traction.
