Udemy External Links Rules & Violations

Hi all, I'm trying to upload my first Udemy course but I need a little help along the way.

So I will be launching my course free for a while before I convert it to a paid course but aside the course I have created I also have bonus package only for students that actually purchased my course, but in other for them to access this bonus package they will have to join my online community using an invitation link. So I would like to know if Udemy permits that or it doesn't go against their rules and violations.

    I think the "bonus lecture" would be the only place that would be permitted. Read the details at https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229232847-Bonus-Lecture-Rules-and-Guidelines?

    Hi @Vidiboz_2025, thanks for your question, and congrats on getting ready to launch your first course! 😊

    To ensure your bonus package and community invitation align with Udemy's policies, I recommend reaching out directly to Udemy’s Trust & Safety team. They’ll be able to give you a clear answer based on the most current guidelines.

    You can contact them at policy@udemy.com.

    Best regards!

    Thanks a lot, I think I will reach out the safety team cos what I am giving out basically is not a course as usual but it's a pre-made premium video templates for anyone who purchased the course in addition. So I will find out if the only bonus you can give out is course only

    @Vidiboz_2025, please do, thank you. In the meantime, you can read about the bonus lecture, which is used to provide coupon codes, course referral links, and external links to other products and services.

    Best regards,
