Need Help - How to create my first course?

[Nuruddin]

Hello Folks!

Hope everyone is doing great.

I am planning to create a course on MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, but I don't know how to go about it.

Would appreciate if I can get suggestions on which video software can be used, what should be the price point and other valuable tips from the existing tutors on Udemy. Also are there any pre-requisites for becoming an instructor on Udemy?

Looking forward to hearing soon from you all. Cheers!

Hey @Nuruddin, you can start by looking through our FAQ's support article here. There's also lots of information on the course creation section in our Teach hub here. Lastly, a quick search here in the community can be helpful by using keywords such as course creation, software, resources, course price, etc. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Nuruddin 

Have you taken a look at the courses that are already there? Some areas are very competitive with existing courses. Udemy have great marketplace tools in the instructor profile. They tell you what sells and how tough or easy it is to break into a certain area. Good luck.

@Nuruddin First i wish you good luck with your course

Second, for the videos recording you can use Camstasia Studio for screencast recording it is a very powerful and easy software that i personaly use to record my courses.

You have also to get some equipment like a good mike to het a good voice quality.

The last and the most important thing is that you have to know your course domain as well, you have to know and understand perfectly your course materials.

Hi @RamziDeveloper 

Thanks for the best wishes. Currently I am using Screencastomatic, but will surely try Camstasia Studio and yes will purchase a good quality mic for the same. Appreciate your response.
