Hello Instructor Community!

 

It’s time to recognize some of our most esteemed community members while also taking a look at some of the most popular community posts from the last month!

 

This month, we’d like to give a special shoutout to Basit Khan, John Thompson & Frederico Garay for sharing their Instructor milestones in the community during the month of April! Congratulations, we love hearing about your Instructor wins!

April Community Recap:

 

In April, we dedicated the entire month to discussions about Marketing and boy was it busy! We hosted our very first networking session where over 20 instructors got together virtually to discuss their best marketing tips. Mark Lassoff & Diogo Resende were kind enough to share their best post-publishing tips with us during an hour-long webinar & when we asked the community, “If you could only choose one marketing channel, which would you choose? “, we were blown away by the responses!

 

You can file this next post under, “Reasons I should visit the community every day”....Community Champion Scott Duffy offered to purchase and review any course! And the community took advantage of this offer!

 

And lastly, as we mentioned earlier in this recap, we celebrated some wins with John Thompson, Frederico Garay & Basit Khan

 

P.S. There is still time to register for our next virtual coffee chat!

January Community Recap:

 

We always like to start our monthly recaps with the celebrations that were shared in the community! In January Community Champion Rahul Iyer shared his milestone of reaching $250k in sales and Ganesh Padala celebrated his 1,000th review!

 

Larry Miller started an interesting thread on the course rating system & several of you chimed in on this thread, “How do you respond to a poor rating”.

 

Don’t forget, tax season is approaching and we posted an update about how to get your tax documentation.

 

Thank you for being a part of our instructor community!

Hello instructors! We had a lot of big changes in May with the new business terms and introducing our new Community Manager Chrystie & Moderator Bella. In true Udemy Instructor form, this community really banded together and helped each other out when needed, lent an empathetic ear to those that needed it, and shared some really helpful tips! We continue to appreciate all of your contributions to the instructor community: your thoughtful feedback, questions, and support for one another. Thank you!

Hello instructors!

 

April was a lively month for conversation in the Community. As we approached the rollout of the updated business terms, you had plenty of questions, feedback, and conversation to share. The same was true of the debut of Personal Plan, the pilot of a subscription option for individual learners. We continue to appreciate all of your contributions to the instructor community: your thoughtful feedback, questions, and support for one another. Thank you!
