Re: Tipalti is the best payment method?
Unfortunately, my local bank does not accept USD; only premium corporate accounts are supported. In addition, the conversion rate for local accounts is higher than those offered by PayPal and Payoneer. Keeping USD in PayPal or Payoneer until the exchange rate becomes more favorable than my local currency is better than using the momentary exchange rate from Tipalti to transfer directly to a local account.

Re: Testing Starter Plan: New Ad-Supported Consumer Subscription (limited rollout)
I appreciate that Udemy takes a long-term view in its decisions, and I’m sure the introduction of ads is aimed at supporting platform growth. Ads may bring in more revenue but it is possible that ads may annoy learners and drive them away from the course ar cause them to leave a negative review. Will learners start surfing for ad free courses? I really do not know and would love to get insights and research results from udemy.
Re: Assistance required with promotion (& I’m being spammed mercilessly)
Michael,
How many courses do you have?
The reason I ask is that all you need is two to take advantage of my #1 Udemy marketing strategy:
Promotional announcements.
With just two courses, you can promote each course to the other every other week.
I typically make over 50% of my Udemy revenue from promotional announcements for courses priced at $9.99.
I have somewhere over 70 courses and use an Excel spreadsheet to manage the hundreds of thousands of promotional announcements I send out per month.
Hope this helps,
—Brian
