    From my experience, I would suggest you to do a research on the types of courses offered by anyone in the field of life science. Look for the courses on different website/providers.
    From that research you will be able to figure out the topic that you would like to create a course on. Make sure to do a thorough research of the contents of the courses and their outcomes.
    This is the best way to go about creating a course.
    The second option would be to get insights into the subject itself from a SME.

    Hi @bella964,

    Thank you for your question, and welcome to the instructor community.

    We have addressed this inquiry in a previous post, which we recommend for guidance in building your course.

    I hope this information is helpful.

    Hi @Mariofal96

    Thanks for sharing the link. Indeed the links are great. I'm not a new instructor but I always found the Udemy videos very useful and the community is great.

    To Sri lakshmi rani I'll add my own tips from my mere two years of experience on Udemy

    1. Get an amazing microphone
    2. Share initial recordings with friends and get feedback
    3. Send Udemy the test video early on
    4. Do not create free courses (just my opinion)
    5. Preferably do not give out free coupons but if you do so then give it under the condition that the person leaves a review (and even in that case it's highly likely that they won't watch the videos or leave a review)
    6. Follow Udemy's tips closely. For example they have great tips regarding the intro/promo video. Udemy also has many free courses that I found very helpful.
    7. You might want to check out marketplace insights and even search for your course topic on udemy just to see if the topic is saturated and/or in demand
    8. Choose a topic which you truly enjoy
    9. Finally I'd recommend using social media to promote your course. I wasn't really successful in that sense but even creating a youtube channel is great.
    10. You have two promotional emails a month and you can create 3 sets of coupons a month. Take advantage of these every month. Note that promotional emails are usually most effective if you have more than one course and then you can cross-promote
    11. Udemy is great but not all courses are successful even if they're great so personally I found having low expectations is good, i.e. try your best and hope for the best
    12. Create a script before recording. Give the course course image some thought and preferably show your image in the course image but not text.

    Finally I really recommend checking out this link from Lindsay Marsh. She has done very well on Udemy and gave great tips.

    Good luck!
