Is your digital marketing brain buzzing with course ideas, but you’re not sure where to start?
If you’ve got skills to share and want a low-maintenance, high-visibility way to monetize them, this episode is for you. We’re diving into the world of course marketplaces—specifically how to sell courses on Udemy—with my guest and fellow unicorn Elizabeth Hambleton.
Elizabeth is the Founder & CEO of Bonjour Branding, where she helps course creators and coaches turn their expertise into profitable and polished digital products. With over 35,000 students enrolled in her Udemy courses, she’s built a thriving education business rooted in smart strategy, storytelling, and connection. (And she’s also a proud member of our Digital Marketer’s Workgroup!)
We’re peeling back the curtain on how to sell courses on Udemy even if you’re still doing client work and have zero desire to build a full-blown course empire. Whether you want to add a revenue stream, build credibility, or just dip your toes into passive income, this convo will definitely get your wheels turning (it totally did for me!).
