I thought building the course was the hard bit.

Turns out… it wasn’t.

Spent years refining my training, getting real results, then moved it online using platforms like Udemy and Coursera.

At first it felt great. Easy setup, built-in audience.

But then you realise:

• You don’t own your audience
• You don’t control pricing
• And you can’t really shape the experience
• You’re not building a business. You’re feeding a platform.

And honestly, even if you leave and host it yourself… if you’re still just selling videos, it’s the same problem. Low completion, low engagement.

Feels like the whole model’s a bit broken.

Curious if anyone else has hit this point or if it’s just me.
