How do I collect email addresses when students sign up

Apologies for the stupid question but I haven't yet sold a course on Udemy and I was wondering how I collect the email addresses when students sign up either direct from Udemy or via my external marketing following a referral link.

  • Udemy doesn't allow direct access to emails. The only possible way is through promotional and educational announcements. This what I used to know.

  • Thank you so much for taking the time to reply

  • It should also be noted that if/once the majority of your students come from Udemy Business, you lose the ability to communicate with them through Udemy at all, since announcements are not delivered to them.

  • Oh OK. So how do you develop a relationship with them and keep them in your funnel for future courses etc?

  • The best you can do is build a community on Facebook or LinkedIn or on your own site. It’s not particularly easy, nor fast - but it can be done.

  • As previous instructors responded you can't collect the emails via Udemy. But the positive fact is that you can create Facebook groups for example and there collect huge community, as I did ( >100k ).
