I just hit 50,000 students on Udemy.

That number still feels surreal to me.

When I uploaded my first course, I had zero audience, no fancy equipment, and absolutely no idea if anyone would even watch it — let alone pay for it.

Fast forward a few years, and here we are:
50,000 students from around the world learning Cybersecurity from the comfort of their screens.

So yeah, it’s no secret that I’ve been a MASSIVE fanboy of Udemy for the past 4 to 5 years.

I honestly think that it is the easiest and most friction-less way of launching a side-hustle and monetizing your Cybersecurity knowledge.

The content creator economy is expected to hit half-a-trillion dollars by next year.

With Udemy being the YouTube of Online Courses, it offers one of the best ways of becoming a part of that economy.

The best part is that unlike self-hosted courses where you have to do everything — Udemy handles the hosting, marketing, etc. i.e., all the boring stuff.
