Go to solutionNext on my list after re-shooting my best selling course is to do just that. I have been doing some SEO research and have a ton of keywords related to my course that I want to add in the course description (not just keywords, but also add relevant content for my students). I want to see if it helps bring more traffic to my landing page. I have been keeping track of the stats ever since Udemy made them available so it will be easy to see an increase (or decrease) if/when there is one.

Yes you can submit the course even if the description is not there. The course still gets published. But the description section really make easier for student to understand about your lecture and the section well.

Go to solutionAwesome answer Robin!
When building my Vocal Course, I include a description in every Module and Lesson. It really does make a huge difference in the students' eyes when they can easily go to a specific Module and Lesson instead of spending valuable time searching for it. I've been throw several courses that didn't offer that and to me, it was confusing and aggravating not to mention time-consuming.
So I highly recommend descriptions and making the course feel easy to navigate and it helps the flow and feel of the whole course.

Go to solutionI have added descriptions for each lecture and what the students will be able to do after they complete it.

Go to solutionThank you, @Robin_Slee . What are your thoughts on crafting a description? Specifically, is there an optiomum length / number of words you shoot for?
Also, each of my lectures begin and end with visual bullet points of the three or four lecture objectives. Though lecture description consists of these points, I'm tempted to use action verbs rather than a simple list in the description. But struggle with what tense to use: "Student learns...", "Lecture shares ..." "You will..."

Go to solutionI would use “you will learn...” always try to talk as if you are talking to one student at a time. When you look at the camera ( if you do talking head) there is only ever one person on the other side of the lens. As for length, I like to use statements rather than explanations in the descriptions. I hope that helps? Sorry for late reply, been away for a while 😉
