Are you saying people complain online and if they are happy, they won’t give a review? Complaining gives us a sense of power. It’s good Udemy gives the option for getting their money back. Yes it took up their time, but they have a refund coming and this keeps the customer on the platform. I do see people giving 5/5 because they got a lot out of the course….it helped them. I read reviews to make decisions as a consumer, and can often see through a complainer verses real feedback ….mostly with restaurants though. ... View more

Hi @ilovedogs74  It’s easier for me to speak and record than figure out how to automate things. My material is my own and a lot comes out when I teach that I wasn’t planning on saying. It fits in the slide. Maybe boring if an ai voice reads material that sounds like me. Also is disingenuous feeling.   ... View more

As I drink my coffee….😍   What are 3 tips you can share about your course creation process?   Creating an engaging and effective online course requires careful planning and execution. Here are three tips to help you in your course creation process: Define Clear Learning Objectives: Before you start creating content, outline the specific learning objectives you want your students to achieve. What skills, knowledge, or outcomes should they gain from the course? Clear objectives will guide your content creation and help you stay focused on delivering valuable content that aligns with your students' needs. Chunk Content and Use Multimedia: Break down your course content into smaller, manageable chunks or modules. This makes the material easier to digest and prevents overwhelming your learners. Incorporate a variety of multimedia elements such as videos, images, interactive quizzes, and practical exercises to keep the content engaging and cater to different learning styles. Promote Active Learning and Engagement: Foster active learning by encouraging student participation and interaction. Include discussion boards, group projects, case studies, and hands-on assignments to provide opportunities for learners to apply what they've learned and engage in meaningful discussions. Regular feedback and communication help create a sense of community and motivation among participants. Remember, creating a successful online course takes time and effort. Stay open to feedback from early learners and iterate on your course based on their input.     ... View more

@SridharJena This may be related to content. I teach soft skills and even though it’s research based, there is a lot of my content that is subjective. My goal is to foster critical thinking. That is the nature of social science and the study of human behavior. Very different from tech, science, computers, coding. That may be the issue with the system picking something up as plagiarism. I would be interested to learn about the software to flag this as well, although it’s never been an issue for me. ... View more

You all do a great job moderating and offering helpful content. The meet ups are positive. Kudos because building and maintaining community has its challenges.

Hi JJLim The course has to meet criteria:   We use a number of criteria to determine which courses to add to Udemy Business collection. We only select from the courses where instructors have opted into the Udemy Business program. We choose courses based on student feedback, which we measure through recent course ratings. We then select the highest rated courses for the collection. We also consider factors such as the content’s demand with our customers and our overall strategy. You will receive a notification if the Content Curation Team determines that your course(s) would be a suitable addition to the collection and meet the needs of our business customers.   https://teach.udemy.com/teaching-on-udemy/about-udemy-for-business/ ...

Tutorial that I’m working on following to a T:   Here are three tips to improve your online marketing for your Udemy courses:   Identify and target your ideal audience: Understanding your target audience is crucial for effective online marketing. Take the time to research and identify the demographics, interests, and needs of your potential students. Once you have a clear picture of your ideal audience, tailor your marketing efforts to reach and engage them specifically. This could include creating targeted ads, using relevant keywords in your course descriptions, and leveraging social media platforms where your audience is most active. Optimize your course landing page: Your course landing page is where potential students will make their decision to enroll. Make sure it's well-optimized to increase conversions. Here are a few key elements to focus on: Compelling title and course description: Craft an attention-grabbing title and a concise, persuasive course description that clearly communicates the benefits and value your course offers. Engaging visuals: Include high-quality images, videos, or infographics that showcase the course content and create a visually appealing experience for potential students. Social proof and testimonials: Highlight positive reviews, ratings, or testimonials from previous students to build trust and credibility. Positive feedback can greatly influence a prospective student's decision to enroll. Clear call-to-action (CTA): Make it easy for visitors to take the next step by having a prominent and enticing CTA button that encourages them to enroll. Leverage social media and content marketing: Social media platforms provide an excellent opportunity to promote your Udemy courses and engage with your target audience. Here are a few strategies to consider: Create valuable content: Develop informative blog posts, videos, or infographics related to your course topics and share them on your website or social media platforms. This positions you as an authority in your field and can attract potential students to your courses. Engage with your audience: Actively participate in relevant online communities, forums, or groups where your target audience congregates. Answer questions, provide insights, and establish yourself as a helpful resource. This will help you build a loyal following and generate interest in your courses. Collaborate with influencers: Identify influencers or industry experts who have a strong online presence and a following that aligns with your target audience. Collaborate with them through guest blog posts, joint webinars, or social media takeovers to expand your reach and tap into their existing audience. Remember, consistency is key. Implement these tips consistently over time, track your results, and make adjustments as needed to optimize your online marketing strategy for your Udemy courses. ... View more

I’m excited to hear everyone’s insight. Something that resonates with me is to foster connection genuinely with my learners. This was talked about in last months coffee chat by instructors, in keeping with strategic SEO strategies. Without a connection, the information is the same as any other class. Rapport building with our audience is key to a quality course. ... View more

Following this as I have an idea for an app and am seeking to partner with a developer in another community. I have an LLC. It offers protection for my personal assets.

We all experience self doubt even when we didn’t intentionally do something ‘wrong.’ It’s a healthy process. I think we make things bigger in our mind when we sit on it without action. Anxiety can cripple but it doesn’t need to….it can propel us to excitement of opportunities. Research points to anxiety and excitement being on the same brain path! ... View more
