πŸš€ Case Study: From Udemy Limitations to Full Ownership – Scaling a Course Business Independently

🧨 The Problem
Sarah was frustrated with Udemy for multiple reasons:

Udemy took 63% of her earnings

She had no way to collect student emails

Her students kept asking for certificates, live classes, and bundles β€” which Udemy didn’t support

Zero brand authority β€” it felt like she was “just another course creator”

🎯 Project Goals

  • Allow video, quizzes, certificates, and bundles
  • Enable live Zoom sessions & private coaching
  • Start building her email list + student community
  • Move her core courses out of Udemy and into her own branded platform

πŸ”§ Our Solution
We guided Sarah through a full transformation using a lean, scalable approach:

βœ… Designed a modern, mobile-friendly eLearning website
βœ… Used LearnDash to set up courses, quizzes, completion tracking
βœ… Integrated Stripe & PayPal for global payments
βœ… Added live coaching calendar (Zoom + booking)
βœ… Connected FluentCRM to collect and nurture leads
βœ… Created upsell options for personal IELTS coaching & mock test reviews

πŸ“Š Results Within 30 Days
πŸ’΅ Earned $1,080 in course sales (compared to ~$50/month from Udemy)

πŸ“§ Built an email list of 640+ subscribers

πŸ’¬ Got her first 6 paid coaching calls booked directly from the site

🏷 Now promotes her own brand, not Udemy’s
