The name Mark Perren-Jones might not mean much to you, but he appears to be doing rather well selling video courses on the educational platform, Udemy.
He claims that he has over 250,000 students in more than 210 countries Worldwide.
His Udemy profile shows that he has had at least 212,604 students through the platform alone.
He has 25 years in the massage and spa industry and has an online business called Spa Training Academy. He has 64 video courses that are for sale on Udemy priced between £15.99 and £59.99.
One course, Acupressure Massage For Pain Relief Certificate Course, priced at £49.99 has had 20,869 students… that one course alone will have generated over £1 million if they all paid that price.
At the time of looking, it was running a special offer at £15.99 so I can’t say how much it has actually earned.
He would have made £333,695.31 if all 20,869 students paid the lower special offer price of £15.99.
Imagine how much he has earned from all of his 64 courses!
The only reason I know about Mark and his courses is that the wife of one of my team has recently bought one of his courses.
She paid £15.99 for the course which appears to have had 16,595 paying students.
It says that the original price for this course was £59.99 but it too is running a special discounted offer.
I don’t know how many people paid either £15.99 or £59.99 for the course, but if all 16,595 students paid the lower £15.99 price, Mark would have made £265,304.05 in sales.
At £15.99, those two courses combined would have generated an incredible £598,999.36 in sales.
That is just from 2 of mark’s 64 courses!

I don’t know how much Udemy take in fees for using the platform and processing payments, but I am more than sure that Mark is happy with how much money he has made from those two courses alone.
There are seven sections to one of those courses that add up to just 6 hours worth of video.
Wouldn’t you like to earn over £200,000 in passive income for what is essentially, 6 hours of video that is sat online waiting to be bought?
Mark probably spent a few days editing the videos and creating the few PDFs which came with the course, but £200,000+ for a week’s work is pretty good…
Wouldn’t you agree?
I don’t know exactly when Mark started to create his courses for Udemy, but I have a feeling that the Covid lockdowns of 2020 played a huge part.
Mark runs a spa and with the lockdowns and distancing rules at that time preventing people going to certain places or using specific services, it was a worrying time for businesses that relied on a stream of people going through its doors each day.
It seems that instead of sitting around fearing the worst, he created a profitable online business that could possibly be making him more money than his actual spa.
Some of his videos on YouTube are 13 years old so it’s possible that he had already planned on building an online passive income and maybe those videos helped him ride out the pandemic.
Either or… he is now doing rather well with his courses on Udemy.
I am sharing his story with you because I wanted to highlight that it is more than possible for anyone to make a decent amount of money creating simple video courses and selling them via platforms like Udemy.
Mark has taken his interests, knowledge, and skills in a variety of massage and spa treatments, and built himself an online business that is raking in a lot of money.
Looking at all of his 64 courses, I would say that he has made well over £1 million.
Whilst I cannot say whether you will make a million or more doing this, I can say that there is a fantastic opportunity here to make a lot of money.
The tools to create a decent series of videos are available to each and every one of us today. Videos can be recorded and edited using just the smartphone in your pocket.
A cheap phone stand with a ring light could be all that you need to record a decent series of videos that could sell for a decent profit.
If you want to record a screen to make a tutorial, there are tools that can do that on both laptop and mobile devices that are cheap to buy.
The tools are there to be used.
Also, these courses can be sold via a website, Mark has several on his own website, and they could also be added to other platforms like Patreon and Gumroad to create another passive income stream.
And just like eBooks, once these courses are finished and online, they can be bought by customers at any time of the day and night for years to come.
With Mark’s videos teaching massage and spa treatments which are never going to go out of date or change, his videos can sell for years to come.
Could this be the ideal business model for you?
Kind regards.
John Harrison.
