New instructors consistently underprice their first course. Start by estimating the hours it took to build, not just the hours of video.

Look at comparable courses in your category on the platform before settling on a number — pricing too far outside the norm hurts conversion either direction.

You can always run a limited-time launch discount instead of setting a permanently low price you'll regret raising later.
