In 2012, John Azzi reached out to his former college roommate with an offer.

His roommate, Eliot Arntz, was miserable working as an accountant in New York City, so Azzi offered him a small sum to learn how to code, with the agreement he’d join Azzi’s app development agency, Bitfountain, once his education was complete.

“In the meantime, he was teaching weekend courses at General Assembly to teach others how to code simple iOS apps,” Azzi remembers. “His students loved him. So I said, ‘Let’s put this online to reach more people at a lower price point.’”

Azzi and Arntz spent three months, and about $US1,000, putting together an online course on app development for iOS 7.

“The first week was crazy,” Azzi says. “We literally emailed every person we knew in tech — from Eliot’s GA students to people who came to an iOS meetup we hosted, telling them that we built a course that would take absolute beginners and turn them into junior developers in about three months of learning.”

They charged $US99 for the course, and that first month it was live — September 2013 — they made about $US40,000.

You dont have to come up with ideas.

You can purchase source code from chupamobile.com

Teaching courses makes tons of money. I visited most of the sites that teach courses and put together lists of all the courses, the number of subscribers and the cost of the course, my projections show that it is mostly profitable(and tells you what pricing point works).

Its easy enough you just have to either put the course together or find someone who can put the course together. Launching is the hard part (but you should always find affiliates to do it for/with you)

Get money!

@DirtyMoney Do you have plans on creating a platform like this?
What led you to do the research?
Do you mind sharing some of that info you found (ex: the number of sites, subscribers, cost of courses, ect.)?

1.Yeah, already have one, been had it for 3-4 years but just never finished it based on timing and earning income from other sources. I update the course frequently and I've seen other people charging $1800+ for a 2 day course so now I am thinking of either releasing 1 module at a time, selling it off and getting a % recurring commission or finishing the course to sell it.

2.I wanted to know if it was profitable and to see if I could get funding to finish my course or sell it before it launched using my projected numbers as the valuation

3.That is a no no. You can download the info online from http://alternativeto.net/software/udemy/ any of these.

If you won't put in the research I can 100% guarantee you'll never do the work.

Man I need to start thinking outside the box
You're right about that, man... if you keep thinking how other people think you're only ever going to have what other people have... which ain't shyt. Think outside of the box but more importantly than that think at the highest frequency you can.
