Hello @ScottAnders794,

Welcome to the Udemy community!

Creating and marketing a course can seem overwhelming at first, but with a bit of guidance and persistence, it's doable. Here are some basic tips to get you started:

1. Identify Your Audience: Understand who your audience is. Who are you creating this course for? What are their needs and problems that your course will solve? This will not only help in creating your course but also in marketing it later.

2. Course Creation: Start with a detailed outline for your course. It should have a logical progression that makes it easy for students to follow. Ensure your course content is engaging, interactive, and offers real value to your students.

3. Video Quality: Good audio and video quality are crucial. Invest in a good microphone and camera. Use good lighting and a quiet room for recording.

4. Marketing: Start marketing your course as early as possible, even before it's completed. You can use social media platforms, blog posts, or a mailing list to generate interest and build an audience.

5. Reviews and Ratings: Encourage your students to leave reviews and ratings. Positive reviews can boost your course's visibility and attract more students.

6. Keep Updating: Online learning is dynamic. Keep updating your course based on feedback from your students and changes in the field.

We highly recommend checking out the official Udemy course, "How to Create an Online Course: The Official Udemy Course". It provides a step-by-step guide to course creation and could be a valuable resource for you.

Lastly, remember that the key to a successful course is passion. If you are passionate about your subject and genuinely want to help others learn, it will shine through in your course.

All the best for your journey!

Best regards,

Team AITCD

Organize content logically and create engaging materials like videos, quizzes, and downloadable resources. Keep it concise and focused. Utilize platforms like Udemy or Teachable for easy course hosting. For marketing, use social media to promote your course and engage with potential students. Offer free previews or discounts to attract initial learners. Regularly engage with your audience through newsletters or webinars. Continuous improvement based on feedback will lead to long-term success. Stay persistent, and success will follow.
