    @LightSportMan
    ,

    It's undoubtedly going to be strange for you to convert from face-to-face to online. You have a huge leg up in knowing your teaching topic so well and how to teach it. Now the question becomes, will online training strangle your existing teaching style and how will you have to change it to adapt. It's also great that you have half-a-million followers to dig into your courses once they're ready.

    I assume that since you've been doing face-to-face training that you'll be filming using a camera rather than screencasting (recording your computer screen). That means lights, cameras and action. I'd look around and get in touch with some of the video and green screen experts in the A/V section of this forum.

    Anyway, welcome, best of luck and keep asking those questions.

    Hi,

    I believe having over 500.000 followers will be an advantage for you when you first start. You know you can promote your own link to those followers and Udemy will only ask for 3% and you get to keep 97% of the revenue in that case which is really cool :)

    Welcome.

    Atıl.
