I received an unsolicited email from Edplx telling me I should sell my courses on their platform. They claim that the average instructor earns £2,000 per month. Are they legitimate? I don’t have an inside view, but my guess is not and here are my reasons.
They claim to be a reputable company. But there is no such company registered in the UK.
Next, all of their courses seem to have 600 to 1,200 students. That seems odd. I would normally expect a wider distribution with newer courses only having a few sales and some high sellers having much higher numbers. But they all seem to fall into that band.
And yet, every single course I checked had 0 reviews.
Also, it’s weird they have so many students and yet only three people like their Facebook page.
That is three more people than follow them on Twitter which, at time of writing, has zero followers. They have links to Instagram and YouTube on their website, too, but these just link to the respective homepages and I couldn’t find any evidence they have an account on these platforms.
They claim to have millions of customers every day but I ran their website through SimilarWeb and they said they have insufficient traffic to even rank them.
It’s not possible to evaluate the courses as they do not provide video previews, in either a trailer format or letting you preview any of the lessons. Are the courses on there real? I have no way to tell.
Conclusion
I believe that Edplx is a scam.
