  • Hello everyone, my very first course on 'Funding your Dreams: Strategies for Successful Grant Writing' was published barely a week now. I would appreciate any feedback on it as am only having 2 students. This will be useful as I build on my other courses as well as polish the existing one. Am eager to get more students on this first one too. What can I do?

    Hi there,

    I just had a look at your promo and nothing else. At the end of your promo video, there is too much inactivity. For almost 1 minute, all we see is basically the same udemy interface. This is not good. 10 sec inactivity is probably as far as you can push it. We generally solve these problems by tossing a bit variation in the mix after 10 seconds. Highlight part of the screen, write something there, add a video of you narrating, or a stock video, but never show the same thing for too long without sufficient activity going on.

    Good luck!

    In a very competitive marketplace, you can't afford problems with audio or video. The audio has too much white noise. This needs to be removed. You can use software to do that.

    Hi there,

    I could follow along just fine and listened for about a minute. On Udemy, many instructors who have best selling courses have accents. We teach with a big team and not one of us has a clean US or UK accent. Some have thick Dutch accents, or even thick Spanish or German accents. In other words, the accent is not a deal breaker in any way for most students. It is a small part in a big package. If the rest of your package is good, not many mind that you are not native English speaker. In fact, a bit of an accent sounds interesting.

    Thanks for the tips. I really need to redo the promo. It's also no longer up to date

    Hi there,

    Approach it scientifically and just tick off boxes until you have a great promo. Udemy once made and published the ultimate recipe for a successful promo. It breaks down a successful promo video into little pieces that you can just assemble. We use it as inspiration. You can access the Udemy guide here:

    The Perfect Promo: Guide (udemy.com)

    Good luck.

    Hi dear Udemy community,

    I launched my first course "A beginner's guide to interior design" one year ago and I have in average 30 sales per month, however, I want to increase my sales and would appreciate every constructive feedback. I have to say also that I tried to split the video length of each video in more shorter videos, but this led to a drop in sales.

    Thanks,

    Gianina

  • Thank you @Bella
    , this is so useful.

    I also much liked the last point "Pay it forward", i have been doing this, but never connected it back to my courses.

  • This post was good to help but unfortunately, it seems ignored. Anyway, I need feedback from friends in India and Pakistan because my course is in Hindi/ Urdu languages. Can a few people check my promo video of the Business Pro Course and help me know if such a course is going to be helpful for people?
