2 Instructor Profiles

Hi everyone, I initially created a course that was reflecting my professional background (AI). But know I also wanted to follow my passion by forming a course on Udemy (math problems). I have few questions needed to be answered.

1. Since my instructor profile's description is reflecting my professional background, do I need to update my profile's description in order to meet with the course field?

2. Is there any other option like creating another instructor profile?

3. And if possible then do I need to separately for premium verification?

4. And If I invite another instructor from my previous profile, then would it not be confusing and wrong thing that both instructors have same names but different profile descriptions? I also have a doubt that somehow in future if Udemy blocked my one profile then my all courses will be lost. Overall, what would be the best strategy? @ElianaC @MarinaT @Bessy @Mario F. @Mario F.

    Hi @TAQI, Thanks for your questions! We are happy to provide you with some background:

    1. You are welcome to keep your profile description as it is. Since you are creating a new course, you will have the opportunity to add a course description that is specific to that course.
    2. Instructors are free to create multiple accounts for specific course fields, topics, or niches. For instance, if you have two different accounts, you can ensure that each is related to a specific topic, which may provide you with more control and organization.
      However, if you think your student base would benefit from all your courses and that a larger enrollment could boost your popularity, it’s advisable to create a single account to host all your courses.
      While we’ve had instructors who have seen success with both methods, we recommend housing your courses under the same profile. This approach helps maintain a strong instructor reputation and simplifies revenue management. Ultimately, this is a matter of perspective, and you can test how it feels before deciding whether to create a new account or keep everything under one.
    3. Yes, creating a second account will require account verification.
    4. In this question, I recommend you send an email to the Trust & Safety team via email to policy@udemy.com. The team will provide you with more information about this scenario.

    I hope this helps!
