Is it worth creating an Udemy course?

#discuss #udemy #embedded #learning

I am considering creating an Udemy course about "Real Embedded C++ development on Arduino."
However, I am concerned that I will put a lot of effort into the course, but that it will not be worth it in the end.

Do you have any experience with something like this? What is your opinion?

Some ideas:

I like Udemy. I got > 500 Udemy courses in my account. But watched to 100% < 10!
Try to find out if there is sufficient demand for the topic. What good is the best course if only a few people are interested in the subject and pay accordingly?
Do a sample calculation of what you actually earn minus all costs and commissions from Udemy and minus taxes and necessary investments (e.g. microphone etc.)
Think also about additional platforms where you can sell (e.g. gumroad, ko-fi) / market (reddit) it. Maybe youtube with ads?
