Thanks, funny enough the last 2 are on Udemy (my first courses) where as the others are on my main site.

I've kept the Flask one up to date for almost 10 years, all free updates.

I have so many course ideas but starting a new one is tough because I've lost all search traction to my site and courses in general. I don't want it to end but I also have to be real.

I've put a decade into writing blog posts, hundreds of free YouTube videos (without ads or sponsors), 100+ episode podcast related to programming and none of it has grown an audience in 5-10 years. I mean sure I have 21k subs on YouTube but most videos get like 200 views. I do it because I enjoy it but that doesn't mean it's wrong to also want to be able to sustain myself again doing it like I did between 2015 and 2021.

I took your Build A SaaS course on Udemy some year back, it was really good. I didn't realize it has updates to the day. The Udemy version is still the 10 hour one though, so perhaps that's why.

Thank you.

Yep on my site there's around 30 hours of content for the same course. Basically a bunch of updates and refactors along with building a 2nd app.

I was trying to differentiate my site vs Udemy by adding extra perks.
