Try to take "The Build a SaaS app with Flask" course on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/the-build-a-saas-app-with-flask-course/?couponCode=NJ_1099 https://www.udemy.com/the-build-a-saas-app-with-flask-course... I found it very well made and you might ship a simple SaaS within a week, including Stripe subscription. You'd also learn about Docker deployment there. Themeable using Twitter's Bootstrap as well. Now just get an idea for a profitable offering and you are golden! ;-)

Given that it was only $11.99 (from $99) today - I just bought the course for the heck of it. Great suggestion - thanks!

  It's always $10. It's a trick udemy uses (always on sale)
- kidfiji 9y ago
  Keep in mind, most Udemy courses are just like that. They "cost" around $100-$200 dollars, but are all basically permanently priced somewhere between $10 - $15. The price usually changes every couple weeks or so too.

    There must be laws against this sort of practice, right? Maybe there are clear loop-holes.

      The author of the SaaS course I mentioned ran away from Udemy because of this.

        Indeed. Btw, would you mind updating your Udemy link to use the one I linked in my previous reply? I'd really appreciate it. Edit: I see you updated it. Thanks!

Hi, Course author here. Thanks a lot for posting this (and for signing up). But, it's worth noting that if you buy the course on my platform at https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/ https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/ there are additional perks you won't get on Udemy. For example I'm in the process of adding a new bonus section to the course that goes over building RESTful APIs with Flask. I've already released the source code and 1 video for it on my own platform but this will never make its way over to Udemy. I'm going to be adding some front-end related bonuses too (only on my platform). Plus you get better support and I'm even thinking about doing things like recorded office hours. If you don't want the bonuses / updates and only care about the cheapest price possible, please use my Udemy link[0] below for $10.99 because otherwise Udemy takes 50%. I don't want to sound like a complainer, but yeah, it took me 4 months of real life time and years of experience to create this course. I can't afford to keep making courses on Udemy when I see $3-5 per sale. It's also worth mentioning those Udemy "discount tricks" are out of my control. I can set the price to anything within reason, but ultimately Udemy pushes courses out for $11 all the time. It's partly why I'm looking to remove all of my content from there in the future, but building my own audience is a long process. :) In either case, any support is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for anyone who signs up. [0]: https://www.udemy.com/the-build-a-saas-app-with-flask-course/?couponCode=NJ_1099 https://www.udemy.com/the-build-a-saas-app-with-flask-course...

  Yeah, I've read your blog post recently why you are quitting Udemy and am sorry about it as I enjoyed your course very much! I guess Udemy's only way to stay afloat is to push the price as low as possible to attract more paying customers all around the world (given they have competition). It's tricky to figure out a good business model for both platform and course providers; probably you could consider keeping simpler parts of your course on Udemy and then suggest getting advanced courses on your own platform? You leave the most problematic users on Udemy and get only the dedicated ones. I think in the future it will always be some version of freemium; free to get your course known and premium to make some money.

Thanks for the link to that course. I'm a seasoned .Net developer and would like to explore .Net core more, but this would add another skill set and a different approach to solutioneering.
