Beginner friendly: Moderate

I’d rate it a 2 because creating and selling a course requires expertise in a subject, content creation skills, and marketing knowledge. While platforms like Teachable or Udemy make it easier to host and sell courses, the initial setup, content creation, and audience building can be challenging for beginners without prior experience or a strong online presence. Many people on Reddit and YouTube have noted the difficulty in standing out in a saturated market and the time investment needed to create quality content.
