Re: Plan Your Course Marketing Before You Publish, Here are Proven Marketing Ideas
Hi Anonymous,
I had also wondered about the benefits of using the Udemy platform. Like many of us, I have been courted by other learning platforms to feature my course(s). However, after attempting to host my own courses and considering working with a different platform, I have decided to give Udemy the entrepreneurial attention that they suggest.
I realized that I did not want to 1) spend the time doing my own marketing, 2) staying abreast of and complying with regulations, 3) responding to customers that might have technical issues or 4) want to request refunds, etc. These are integral administrative, technical and compliance issues that Udemy manages for us.
I send people to Udemy because they may need courses that support what they are learning from me. I trust that Udemy holds instructors to a minimum standard, so I feel comfortable recommending this platform to others. I have experienced the scrutiny firsthand.
I began with Udemy many years ago, but have only recently decided to get serious about building my e-learning brand. I plan to give this time serious effort and see what happens. Also, I glean so much from the community of fellow instructors and hope to continue enjoying and suggesting Udemy courses to my students. So far the benefits of working with the Udemy learning environment far outweigh any shortcomings.
I would like to know how to get paid for my recommendations as well.
