A day. Okay, it isn't quite that simple. My sideproject is Breaker 101, an online class for web security. (https://breaker101.com https://breaker101.com)
I launched on HN and sold out (75 seats or so, $1500 each IIRC) that same day. I had designed the syllabus over the previous couple days, but there was no product -- because I honestly thought that only a few people would buy it, and I'd just have to refund them.
I built the class over the next few months and that went really well (not perfectly, but definitely well), but subsequent runs never got anywhere near the same success in terms of sales -- just couldn't get it in front of enough people.
I recently relaunched it at $150 in more of a self-driven form. It's profitable by all means, but it needs marketing behind it. I've been thinking a lot about selling it to someone that can give it the love it needs, but I'm still on the fence there.
- Ramiuz 10y agoHey, maybe a little off-topic. This course seems very interesting (I'm currently studying https://secureyournodejs.com/?p=setup https://secureyournodejs.com/?p=setup), is there a demo of a course or a sample to see the flow of the class?.
- caseysoftware 10y agoIf you want to pursue the marketing support angle, drop me a note. I have something that might help. :)
