Title: I&#x27;ve been browsing Udemy courses yesterday and I was floored to find that some programming courses might have sold in excess of a million dollars (unless Udemy hands out coupons all the time and few people actually pay the full price for a course - I don&#x27;t know that).<p>There are also courses like &quot;how to create a bestseller on Kindle&quot;.<p>Now I am thinking of creating my own programming course, but I realize I can not really make such a promise as helping people earn money with programming (except getting a job, but that also seems a but much for a single video course). It would be cool to make a course &quot;learn programming language X and earn 1000$&#x2F;month in passive income&quot; but it seems a very doubtful proposition to me.<p>Is it harder to make money with programming than with other content creation (ebooks, video)?<p>Udemy says the average course earns 7000$ - not a lot, but I think still more than the average income for iOS or Android apps? And it seems to me a course or ebook might be much simpler to create than a good app.<p>Of course those &quot;make a Kindle bestseller&quot; courses might just be fake &quot;get rich quick&quot; schemes, but I am not so sure. I can imagine having a good title and reasonable subject a book can become a bestseller easily.
