Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to connect with some instructors based in the UK!

Despite all the benefits I've seen from moving to content creation full-time, I've also realised at times it can be a solitary experience (at least the way I've gone about it up until now) and a lot of tasks are done without much collaboration with others, like you might expect from a more conventional job.

I think it would be interesting to share tips on the course creation process, managing this type of unique business within the regulatory and tax system of the UK and also the work-life balance of a Udemy instructor! Please respond here or DM me if interested. Thanks!

    Hey @TomBaileyCourses, I am UK based, and yeah, it can sometimes be tiring! There are better days (after a positive review!) and worse days (after a negative review lol), and then there is the traditional annual "Black Friday sales used to work better!" haha. Anyway, we all do share similar experiences, and there are many of us!

    Hey, love this post — really resonates with me.

    I'm also based in the UK and recently started working on a Local SEO course. I’ve noticed how solo content creation can sometimes feel disconnected, so it's great to see others trying to build a support circle.

    While building my course, I’ve been diving deep into examples of local service businesses. One great example I studied was how companies in niche spaces like Denver Airport Limo Service optimize for very specific, location-based keywords. It really shows the power of long-tail search terms when targeting local audiences.

    Would love to connect with fellow instructors working on similar topics — feel free to DM!
