Hi everyone, happy new year.

I'm glad to join you, my name is Salman Alhiary, and I'm a Network Consultant Engineer (NCE) working with Cisco 🙂 I have published my first course on Udemy recently. I'm so excited to be a Udemy instructor.

I wish you all the very best;

Salman

Hi Salman ! Welcome and congrats for your first course. It seems to be a great quality course, you already have a good amount of students. Can I ask you how long did it take you to make the course ?

Thanks,

Victor

Hi @VictorFreys 
Thank you so much.

It took about 2 months of preparation, considering I already knew the technical knowledge.

Thank for your reply. Is this your side business ? How long did you spend per day to finish your course ?

[salhiary]

Hey @VictorFreys, I spent around 4 hours a day, but on some days I couldn't afford that .. so that's why it took a long time.

Hey @salhiary , 2 months of preparation sound actually quite short to me. I am impressed by your efficiency. I am planning a course and I am on the construction / organization phase where I lay out the plan and its structure. It took me a bit more than a week to be satisfied with what I'd like to teach and how to organize it.

Besides, I work already 8 hours a day (if not more), so finding time is challenging to me, but motivation is there so I always find spot to write my scripts and so on. But this will take me long, as I don't want to release a draft or something I am not satisfied with.
