What are the best ways to start

[M. Azeez Yehyawee]

Hey! My named is Azeez Yehyawee and I am new on Udemy as an instructor. I have been mentoring and teaching people in my field for a while now and I wanted to do it professionally on this platform. Can anyone suggest me some good tools and techniques and strategies to get started with?

Hi @M. Azeez Yehyawee Welcome to the community, we're so excited that you're interested in becoming an instructor on Udemy!

To get started, you can watch our Welcome Video to learn how the community works.

Our minimum requirement for a course is that it contains at least 30 minutes of video content contained within at least 5 lectures. This section includes extensive resources on how you can create a Udemy course and get started.

I suggest visiting our Marketplace Insights tool. This is a searchable page on your instructor dashboard that shows you data on student demand, search volume, and revenue for a particular topic.

We have a lot of great content to help you create an awesome course. Here are just a few of our most popular posts:

• How to gain potential students before you publish
• Instructor Attitudes, Myths, and Misconceptions
• Sharing this milestone and what I learned along the way

And here’s a great roundup of free & paid resources and a compilation of top posts on creating your course.

I hope this helps!
