First of all congrats! Creating content is a lot of work! This is not an attack on you but I think a valid question to ask: (did you know or now you know) How do you feel about being part of udemy, a company known for stealing courses from over the internet? Troy Hunt for instance is often plagiarised troyhunt.com/the-piracy-paradox-at...
I can imagine you put in a lot of effort in your course, I would be pissed if Udemy would also rip from YouTube and users would pay the same for stolen content and your exclusive work.
On ExamPro I have built my own LMS with on-demand video streaming and I could have easily sent everyone to sign up there which I could have then cross-sold other exclusive AWS content but I wanted to give Udemy a try to see how to better improve my LMS, they also have lots of information on how to make better quality course content. There is also the possibility of social proof since Udemy courses are public facing they can validate me as a legit online course creator. Also, Udemy is supposed to promote your content to expose you to more people.
I don't like Udemy, but my thought is if I want to make more free content vs paid I need to reach more people and have more social proof and I will only know if Udemy can help with that by getting first-hand knowledge by publishing a course on their platform.
For me, this was low risk because I actually have 6 other courses already video-tutorialized unpublished which were from previous in-person workshops I ran.
If I were to get enough subscribers on youtube I would be comfortable with making more of my previously paid content free because the trade in social proof allows me to create even better-paid content. I didn't publish straight to youtube because I'm taking a half step approach because as soon as I make this content free it devalues my ability to monetize in-person. So if interest fails then at least I have the content paid.
Getting more youtube subscribers isn't for the ad money because I turn off ads on youtube. It creates business opportunities to sell my content to big companies.
