Unless you have a super niche field, the chance of you providing a course that is COMPLETELY different from anything else are slim. However, you don’t want to be entering a completely crowded market either. Try searching Udemy, unlike Teachable, you can search for specific courses that are similar to yours. If you find a lot of courses similar to your idea, it might not be a great idea. But if you find a few courses, and you feel that your course will provide students with a different viewpoint, you might have picked a winner. There’s nothing wrong with searching for courses online and looking at how you can make yours different or even better. In fact, this is what you should be doing! After you have done this, try searching Google. This will show you if people are searching for your course idea and how much competition there is out there.
Hopefully, you will now have a few, viable options for your course. And the beauty is, in time, you can create all of them! But the first should always be which scored highest in all of these categories. Which is the most viable, inspires you the most, which is it that people are asking for the most and the one where you don’t have a great amount of competition. This should be your first course that will get you noticed on Teachable, the rest can be created in time.
