Until this post I was never interested in Udemy, even though I've heard their name. And now I have to say WOW - what a great model and they're executing it well. I remember when Google opened adwords to agencies and people could start selling their SEM services - immediately creating a huge motivated salesforce for their product. The same for facebook.

I mean if you wan't to create value, first create value for others, and by enabling anyone to earn a living by teaching on their platform - that's huge! More power to them :)

Anyone having a breakdown of the data? Like which courses, which instructors, etc?

well, if you look on their front page/most popular, you can see the top courses, prices and number of students... top 2 are Excel courses with like $3.5m in revenue generation apiece. Nice to see Zed Shaw up there with around $150k.

Udemy helped me launch a side project that now has more than 1,300 paid users across 3 different platforms. I've been super happy with these guys.
