    2. Use free coupons and discount coupons smartly. Know where to share your free coupons, I would generally prefer LinkedIn for free ones, because I can expect somewhat professionals to take advantage of the course. Keeps spam course takers to a minimum.

    3. Free courses: I have 2 free courses that give enough info for a user to get familiarized with the topic while encouraging course takers to join the paid version to learn the topic in detail.

    6. Use paid advertising: Consider using paid advertising options like Google AdWords, Facebook Ads, or LinkedIn Ads to promote your course to a larger audience.

  • Hi all,

    here I share some of my experiences. I hope it'll help.

    Have a clear definition of your training

    When you start creating your course you must have a clear definition of what you want to teach. It should just be a couple of sentences and you should always have those in mind - else the student will get confused.

    You have to follow the description of the course! It is easy to be carried away and you add something that is not in the description or you miss something out.

    Know your audience

    You must keep in mind that all your students have different backgrounds and different levels of knowledge.

    If your course requires a certain level of knowledge, it should be clearly expressed. If you have a student coming to your class and it is too easy or too difficult, they will be disappointed and may even ask for their money back or give a low rating (which they should).

    Be on social media

    Not to underestimate social media as it is important that you are visible.

    Have an awesome day.

    Sure, here are three tips to improve online marketing for your courses:

    1. Define your target audience: Before starting any marketing campaign, it's important to identify your target audience. Determine the specific characteristics of people who would be most interested in your course and tailor your marketing strategy accordingly. This could involve creating buyer personas or conducting market research to gain a deeper understanding of your audience's needs and preferences.

    2. Leverage social media platforms: Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram are excellent channels for promoting courses. Create engaging content that highlights the benefits of your course and share it on relevant social media groups and pages. You can also use paid advertising options available on social media platforms to reach a wider audience.

    3. Offer value with freebies: Offering freebies such as e-books, webinars, and other resources that provide value to potential students can help you attract more leads. Use these resources to build your email list so that you can nurture relationships with prospects and convert them into paying customers. You can also offer discounts or promotional codes to encourage early sign-ups, which can help boost your course's revenue.

  • Advices especially for trainers with new and small audience,

    1. Share the free version of your course with your audience and your social media account. In this way, the number of students will increase and your course will be more preferred.

    2. Video and audio quality is important, but more important is how much you explain your content according to your student audience.

    3. By constantly using coupons, you can share your course more cheaply for your student audience.

  • The top 3 tips for us:

    1. The platform should give an opportunity to publish courses multilingually to help the targeted audience understand and consume the courses.
    2. The platform should be available in different languages (translations).
    3. The retargeting of the students should be the basis of the course prepared keeping the demography of the course created by the instructor. This will maximize the user’s discovery and experience.

    1. Prepare a great promo video for the course and also post it on YouTube where you also link to the course on Udemy. Then also post the YouTube video to your social media. Make sure you have many cross-links from one to the other.
    2. Make sure to reply to all your students' Q&A and private messages as well as to some of their reviews. Having this traffic should increase the organic reach to your course plus it shows that you're active and helpful so your courses are more relevant.
    3. You should have more than 1 course, preferably in a related subject. Once you do that, you should market one course to the students of the other courses who haven't yet taken the course you're marketing. Offer them great discounts via a coupon with a time limit so that they won't want to miss the opportunity to get your other course at a great price, especially if they liked your other course.

  • Dear @Bella
    ,

    I am not really an expert on marketing and it was always something that I've put away in the drawer telling myself "Oh I'm going to learn about it later" so take my tips with a grain of salt.

    1. Utilize the promotional emails as much as you can

    Udemy gives you an opportunity to reach your students 2 times a month using promotional emails. Try to find a sweet spot between the mails being efficient and not sending too much of them in a given time period.

    2. Utilize social media outlets

    Grow your social media account so you can reach more people or maybe find someone who is willing to promote you on social media that has followers from your niche.

    3. Put your courses on classified ads, Ebay and similar websites

    When a service is free you have nothing to lose and you have much to gain, if even one person sees the course that's a win.

  • Amazing initiative by the Udemy team, (As always!)

    I think these 3 steps can be super helpful for marketing the course:

    1. Promoting on Pinterest: While every social media is great for promotions, I really prefer Pinterest (even though its a visual search engine) because you can simply create an image stating the different things they can learn and link it to your course. This image can be made very easily using Canva free version.
    2. Promoting on Quora: You can answer mindfully to quora questions related to your course topic and at the end of your answer, mentioning subtly that you course might be helpful for the person asking the question. This brings a lot of eyeballs to the answer and even help you get recognized as an instructor with experience in a niche.
    3. Promote on your own blog/ website: Write a complete post (or multiple posts) about your course or the topic of your course and promote the course in these blog posts. Optimizing the alt text of images and adding keywords can also help you get high quality traffic from search engines and they might enrol in your courses by reading those blog posts.

    I really hope instructors use these tips because they have worked really well for me!

  • My comments below

    1. Course content - courses need to be on point with explanatory details even for new users

    2. Delivery media - the tutor needs to be clear without any background noises. This can also apply to language of delivery, the tutor should be fluent in the language used to deliver

    3. Duration of the course - courses should be split in with exercises for learners.

    4. Tutor need to be well informed on the delivery domain, explaining in details on the subject matter

  • Hi everyone! Here are my tips:

    1. Consistent posting on social media, include pictures and videos of yourself, people want to see you!

    2. Build trust: people don't buy from you if they don't trust you. Ask what they need, how you can help!

    3. Sharing short snippets from your courses, even funny ones - I'm not a native speaker and I sometimes stutter - showing a video of behind the scenes helps to build connection with people

  • I have been teaching for quite a while and from my personal experience, I would like to share three valuable tips that can help you improve your online marketing for your courses:

    1. Know your audience and tailor your messaging to them: One of the keys to successful online marketing is understanding your audience and what they are looking for. You should know their pain points and the benefits they hope to get from your course. This understanding will help you craft messaging that speaks directly to their needs and desires. For example, if you are marketing a cooking course, you might focus on the convenience of being able to cook healthy meals at home, rather than relying on takeout or fast food.

    2. Use social media to connect with potential students: Social media is a powerful tool for connecting with potential students and promoting your course. You can use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to share information about your course, answer questions, and build a community around your brand. For example, you might create a Facebook group for your course and share exclusive content and resources with members of the group.

    3. Offer a free sample or trial: One of the best ways to attract new students is to offer them a free sample or trial of your course. This could be a free lesson, a demo video, or a limited-time trial of the full course. By giving people a taste of what your course has to offer, you can show them the value of what you are offering and make it more likely that they will enroll. For example, if you are marketing a yoga course, you might offer a free 10-minute yoga video that gives people a sense of what your classes are like.

  • I LOVE social for promotion! I do 3 things without fail:

    Share testimonials on social: I create a nice graphic with a quote from a happy student! I share primarily on LinkedIn because of my target audience

    Directly message contacts on LinkedIn: To those I know well! Leveraging an existing network of those that trust you already is a great way to kick-start it.

    Write articles on AI Awareness: As AI Awareness training is my gig, I write a weekly blog that features the latest trends and then have a Udemy link in the content.

    I find there is no silver bullet, but doing all 3 consistently works in the long run.

  • I've seen some nice ideas in the comments! Great initiative!

    My suggestions are:

    1) Be active on your community (target audience)

    2) Share valuable content relative to your courses (either on social media or newsletter)

    3) Be responsive (adapt feedback on courses, make chances, be flexible)
