Red Flags to Avoid
Guaranteed results
No course can guarantee subscribers or income.
Algorithm "hacks"
Tricks that bypass quality rarely last and may break platform rules.
Instructors without channels
Check that teachers have real, relevant experience.
Pressure sales
Countdown timers and upsells are warning signs.
Free vs Paid Courses
- Free: platform help centres, creator academies, and tutorials cover fundamentals well.
- Paid: may add structure, community, feedback, and accountability.
Start with free resources; pay only when you need feedback or structure you can't get elsewhere.
