Hello Udemy Community
I am about to create course here in Udemy for the first time, and I would like to have your experience regarding to course creation, what I have to do and what I don't have to do as a beginner.
Thank You.

From what I know is the following:
- Make sure that there is a need for your course. Check this page https://www.udemy.com/instructor/marketplace-insights/
- Make sure that you have a well-formed course, in terms of one thing builds on from the previous thing. If you are doing an advanced course, you could skip around. Ask friends and family or people in your audience what they are battling with and solve those issues.
- Getting your course noticed is hard. Make sure that you start teasing that your course is going live on your various platforms YouTube, LinkedIn etc wherever your audience is. Give your audience first "dibs" on your course, by sharing a discount code with them as soon as the course is live. This will mean that Udemy will label your course "Hot & New" label.
- Share snippets of your course that will encourage people to come to your course using TikTok, YT Shorts etc- Have a thick skin. It is not all sunshine and roses. My first course the day it went live was rated 2 stars by 1 person who watched 2% of a 20 hour course. Which then made my course rated at 2 stars. Fortunately the rest of the people who had bought the course, rated it 5 stars and the 2 stars was quickly drowned out, but it hurt.
Keep going and good luck.
