Although having content tailored to your organization specifically is ideal, it may not always be practical.

For those that do they may only make a couple sales and then Udemy takes their share of the revenue (somewhere around 30%). That’s not to say that the course aren’t good. The content might actually be exceptional. The reason for lack of sales is because their offerings are getting lost in the crowd.
