Want an Opinion on Your Upcoming/New Course From a Top Seller?

[ScottDuffy]

Update 02/21: I continue to provide feedback to people leaving comments on this post. I will be traveling for the next week and won't be able to do much in that time. But please be patient, and I will return to this thread when I return.

Hi there, my name is Scott, and I've been on Udemy for nine years — 1.1 million paying students as of now.

If you have a new course (or one that just went live) and want some honest, constructive feedback to make it better, I'll spend 10 minutes looking at your landing page, promo videos, and anything else I can see and give you some solid ideas of things that you can improve. I promise I won't be too harsh but I'll be honest.

Post in the comments, and I'll go to your profile page and find your latest course. Or post a YouTube link to one of the videos if the course is not live yet. 

Any of the other community champions can jump on and give feedback to any of the instructors looking for feedback.

Hi @ScottDuffy ,

I just have launched my first course, could you please review my profile and the course landing page?

I'm really exciting to know what I can do to improve and reach out more students!

Thanks!

WOW! @ScottDuffy 

This is an honor for me, if such an experienced and top teacher like you will look on my course. I have published lately my course about Custom GPTs, which gained a lot of popularity. I'm very curious about your opinion. Thanks for this opportunity!!

Dear Scott, I am Siddhesh and I lead Programming Hub (Rightsol) . We have published an interesting course on 'Yoga for Programmers - From Code to Calm'. A lot of learners from our community from India and US complained of stress and we decided to do something about it! Please share your feedback !

[ScottDuffy]

I love the topic! How unique. 

Good quality audio and video recording. The promo video is quite well done.

I think mentioning other online course platforms besides Udemy in your promo video might prevent it from being added to Udemy Business. 

I think the videos are quite well done. I've seen the preview videos. The landing page is clear with a good title, subtitle and description. I have no notes for improvement of those.

Good luck!

Hey Scott, thanks so much for the opportunity to have you take a look at one of my recent courses on Udemy.  Any feedback at would be really helpful and much appreciated.  My latest course is Advanced Motivational Interviewing - by Kevin O'Doherty.  Have a great day, look forward to hearing from you soon.

[ScottDuffy]

Hi Kevin,

With 19 courses live, I suspect you're already a pro at creating courses and are well down the path to a successful career as an online teacher. 

That said, I will offer this feedback in the spirit of constructive feedback.

• The promo video doesn't have any talking, but is just a slick animation of stock photos set to music.  It would be interesting to see a promo video where you are speaking about the skills taught in the course and the benefits to the students verbally. Ask a few people which video they prefer and I suspect one where you appear and are talking might win over the existing one.
  
  
• In the course I looked at, the only free preview lectures offered are the first two videos. Perhaps consider adding a couple of more free previews to give prospective students a real chance to see how you teach.

All the best and good luck,

Scott

Are you still providing feedback? 😊

[Charlotte KB]

Hi Bessy and Scott, I have communicated with Scott and I was very thankful and happy about his feedback. Take care from Charlotte 🙂

[ScottDuffy]

Hi Bessy,

I'm around. 🙂 

Does Udemy want me to provide this as an ongoing service? Let's discuss.

Hello Scott!

I've just launched my course 'Become an Expert on Microsoft Power BI Desktop' on Udemy, and I'd love your feedback on the promo video. Check it out here: Course Landing page 

Could you let me know:

1. Is the promo message clear?
2. Does it keep students engaged?
3. How's the production quality?
4. Does it encourage enrollment?

Your insights mean the world to me! Thanks for your support.

Best Regards,

HI Sayyed,

The promo video is OK. I like that there is a lot of "demos" of the tool right in the promo video. You also talk about what the course covers and that's clear. If someone is looking for a course on PowerBI desktop, the promo video tells them what the course contains. 

I like the course landing page. Good use of bolding, paragraphs, lists to make it clear what you want to say.

Course contains an ebook and assignments. I think you did a pretty good job presenting this course for sale in the marketplace.

Sorry, there's nothing that I can recommend to improve.

[KashifAsrar]

Sorry ! Sorry for encouraging me ! 😊
Love your feedback Scott but I will keep improving !
Thanks for your time buddy !
