I only teach topics I have real life experience in coupled with passion for the topic. I've been a Personal Development and Leadership Trainer for over 20 years so much of my material comes from that experience but with my individual take on the topic. All my courses are works in progress. So I start with general principles with the view that over time other deep dive sections will be added. As I said I am a work in progress 🙂

@JS_ARVIND Welcome to the community. Are you asking a question about English courses by non native English speakers? Fo me it depends on what you are teaching about this topic? So are you teaching written English, English grammar or English speaking? And then it depends on your potential student or who you are aiming to teach.

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-07-2019

@DrThistleYes as @Anonymous says Camtasia is great for pulling different media together and is easy to get your head around too. Good Luck.

Welcome @JarrarMourad663 🙂

Hi @angaddhawan12 Yes you need to focus on the pain points that new iphone users feel. What is different about what you are offering in comparrison to what people can find on the apple website. In terms of a title is your course "iphone hacks" / "Get the most from your iphone" / "Simplify your iphone" ?

Hi @Anonymous I very rarely see / hear background music being done well. It is extremely distracting if you are trying to concentrate. You're right that music is often seen in videos and films but entertainment is very different to education. Also if you see it on other educational platforms it may be because the platforms don't have the same quality standards that Udemy does.

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-06-2019

Welcome to the platform. Everything you need to learn how to create your course is at this link https://teach.udemy.com/ It's definitely worth spending a bit of time reading and watching all the material. Good Luck and keep us posted where you are up to. Denise

@sundeepartistI'm not really sure what you are asking the group? Are you looking for ideas for your course? If this is the case then you will probably need to find groups and forums where arty creative people or those interested in this area hang out so you can ask them. If you find interested people they are more likely to give you the ideas you are looking for whereas someone like me would struggle.

@RevNatalieS568I use Camtasia...they often have a deal on so it's worth checking.

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-03-2019

@ShibajiGreat tips! I use my iphone for filming, camtasia, audacity and an irig mic. I like to keep things as simple as possible 🙂

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-03-2019

Hi @IsaacBeron77 and welcome. I'd say make the course in both launguages 🙂 Good Luck with the course(s)

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-03-2019

Hi @NikkiParsons I think I need to review my Kettle priority 😉

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-01-2019

That sounds like a lovely relaxed way to get into a focussed and productive day @JoseSalvatierra

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-01-2019

Wow @Yazdani Chowdhury that really focused working is bound to pay off. I'm impressed.

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-01-2019

Hello May, Are you struggling to find time to create your course? Maybe you have a full time job? Other commitments? Now's the time to look at how you are using your time. How do you spend your week? What are you doing too much of? What is stopping you following your dreams?

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-01-2019

@RahulSinghrksyou might find this useful.

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-01-2019

Congratulations on your new course @RahulSinghrks Marketing is where the real course hard work starts. Brian has given you some ideas but there are really very few short cuts to success unless you have your own marketing list. Udemy do have some great tips. You can find them here https://teach.udemy.com/marketing/

DeniseFletcher · ‎05-01-2019

Hi @CaronMargarete when you send your course for review it will need to be a complete course as in, having a beginning, middle and end otherwise it won't pass review. You can then add additional material / sections. Students will be expecting to get a full course when they buy it because that's what Udemy sell. Also it would create you a big headache to manage because you might have someone starting in May, someone in June, someone next year etc.....

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-30-2019

What's the first thing you do when you start working on your course for the day. Mine's switch the laptop on and then the kettle.Then I check / nurture my social media accounts as these are crucial to my success. At the same time I am multi-tasking with my dog's breakfast and getting son off to college. What about you?

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-28-2019

Hi @GregReverdiau I definitely feel more raring to go if I spend a little time on a Sunday just focussing on the week ahead. I hope you have a great week.

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-28-2019

How do you use your time? Sunday is one of those relaxing reflective days. Some people get a bit fed up on a Sunday as it is the end of the weekend of freedom from work. I have recently taken on a new piece of work and this means I must review how I organise myself and my time. It will mean dropping some things to focus on this new marketing opportunity. How often do you review how you are using your time every day?

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-24-2019

Thank you @JocelynH . I look forward to helping people get the most out of the community and supporting people to get their courses live.

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-20-2019

@JAust10Enjoy your beer and Happy Easter! I'm having a brandy and coke! Cheers! Congratulations on the 2nd course.

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-07-2019

@MohammedRukn Just add the credits in your Bonus lecture. If you really want to feature them then you could add the credit to your landing page. Or you can add a slide into your promo that mentions them. The easiest way though is to source music that doesn't need a mention 🙂

DeniseFletcher · ‎04-07-2019

Don't do it @Manchesterblond . Udemy ask for feedback early on in the course and also at the end. So if you add in another layer you'll just annoy the students. It is in Udemy's interest to get reviews so let them do their bit. They review early because research shows that often students bail out of courses and don't finish. So they try to capture the student before they lose interest ( it happens!) And of course they ask for feedback at the end for those students who carry on and finish the course. If you want to engage students in feedback direct with you then use the announcements facility. P.S. I did do what you want to do with my first course but quickly disabled it. I now have 10 courses and I'm 4 years on.
