Hi guys, self-learning is the most effective learning method in this world. It is helpful to understand something in your own capacity and your ways. So, I lv self-learning. When talking about self-learning, online learning resources take 1st place. Udemy is one of the great platforms which share thousand of learning resources as organized courses.

(This is not Udemy promoting article🙂 I can’t earn any cent from this article so, this article contains only contenting my frankly speaking words and thoughts)

How did I find Udemy?

In past before starting my job and earning money, I saw the internet has a lot of resources to learn but, most of them are not organized well to study something Zero to hero. When I searched for resources that I can get to learn something organized, I found Udemy.

What is the problem I faced after finding Udemy?

I didn’t have money because at that time I was a student.

What I did do to access Udemy courses?

Next, I started to find a way to access Udemy paid courses for free. Then I saw, that there are different kinds of Websites that are available for Udemy courses for free. I was able to download that course's total package(including lectures videos and other learning resources) as zip file from there. Some websites give torrent files and we can download courses via that torrent file. I got courses that way in the past.
If somebody has the same problem, use the following links to get courses free. In my opinion, It is unethical but, you can try them😉

(I do not promote websites related to the above links. Via searching youtube u can find youtube videos also related to the above websites(links))

Why did I stop getting free and started purchasing?

The reason is motivation. I’ll explain it.
In this world, everything has value. It can be money-based value, love-based value, trust-based value or etc. If you get something free, it is fine for the moment but not for a long time. In my case, because I got paid courses free there was not enough motivation to complete them but, when I purchase a course I know the value and I have to do justice for that money earned by my strength. I make more motivation for me to get the courses done. As well as I feel it is an investment also. You know, if we invest something we expect a profit through it. After completing a course, I start thinking that how can I apply it. Also sometimes before purchasing, I have an idea of how to invest it. Also, it helps me to understand what I need to learn and what not. When getting free, we accept anything we can get without thinking about usage, isn’t it? When purchasing something via money we consider usage also so, it helps to save our time from doing unwanted things.

That’s why did I stop getting Udemy courses in illegal ways and start purchasing them🙂
