Tips for Publishing My First Hackathon Course

Coder_vishy69

Hi everyone,

I’m creating my first Udemy course focused on introducing beginners to hackathons. The course will cover:

• How hackathons work
• Idea generation and validation
• Team collaboration
• Planning, building, and submitting a project
• Pitching and presenting solutions

I have a few questions as a first-time course creator:

1. Are there any best practices for structuring beginner-friendly content for hackathons?
2. How can I make the course engaging for both technical and non-technical learners?
3. What are some common pitfalls first-time instructors face when publishing on Udemy?
4. Any tips for marketing or getting initial traction for the course?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences from fellow instructors!

Thanks in advance!

Creating your first Udemy course on hackathons can be an exciting journey. To make it beginner-friendly, start by introducing what hackathons are and why they matter, then guide learners step by step through idea generation, team collaboration, project planning, building, submission, and pitching. Use clear language, real-life examples, and visual aids to engage both technical and non-technical learners. Incorporate mini exercises, templates, or challenges to keep students active. Avoid overloading content, ensure good audio quality, maintain a logical flow, and stay enthusiastic. Finally, leverage your network, offer discounts, share stories, and engage learners post-launch to gain traction and positive reviews.
