    Hello @Digitalrooms

    Happy to help!

    Thanks for reaching out about this. I’m sorry to hear that your course sales have slowed this month and the previous ones. Udemy continues to promote courses that are opted in to our deals programs through a variety of channels. A course’s inclusion in a given promotion depends on a variety of factors including course topic, enrollments, conversions, ratings, reviews and student behavior such as wishlisting.

     

    As an open marketplace, it’s hard for Udemy to guarantee a sales amount for instructors. Because our promotions schedule is bound to fluctuate, it might be a more accurate measure to track year to year trends when judging course sales trends.

     

    Additionally, a slow sales month might also be a good time to optimize your own sales efforts and utilize the resources that our marketing team has put together for instructors’ use. This link to our Teaching Center includes help on optimizing your course landing page for conversions, launching an e-mail campaign, and driving Udemy sales from your website or YouTube channel.

     

    Again, I’m sorry to hear that course sales have been slower this month, but please let me know if I can offer any additional help here.

    Kindest regards,

    Leonor

    I have experienced the same thing. Last month year over year, I dropped half my income in one month. The last three months it stayed about even, and lower overall. This month it’s dropped even lower and the sales I do twice a month are not bringing in what they used to. With all the changes and memberships Udemy is now offering, I am feeling as though Udemy is not being transparent with paying instructors for membership participation. I am very upset that they are only focusing ad campaigns on tech and marketing leaving all other instructors out to dry. Psychology, counseling, esoteric practices, meditation, alternative healing. What about everyone else? We are hurting not having that support we once did before the founder left, and now that he’s back, I hope we get the marketing we deserve too. I feel like my dream is disappearing every month. It’s very sad. I’m scared each month to see what happens where once it was an exciting adventure.

    Leonar, I hope you can ask the team to pay some attention in ad buys for all the others listed above.
