@Loukas389, I hate to give you bad news, but what @AlvaroChirou said is completely incorrect and the advice he gave you is illegal in the United States (which is where the Udemy platform is based). (1) You CANNOT use the images from https://wallpaperscraft.com without their written consent. Their website is copyrighted, and so are the graphics on it. If you want to use their intellectual property in your course (which is a for-profit venture), you need permission. If you want some free images to use, please go to https://pixabay.com, where they give permission to freely use their images. (2) As for music, I don't like to use music in my courses, but just like the images you asked about in (1) above, you CANNOT simply use someone else's recordings. While the classical music falls under fair use (you can record yourself playing it on your piano and use it in your course), you can't just take someone else's recording and use it. That breaks copyright, and again, this is cause for you to get sued or your course removed from Udemy. (3) It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge to share, so I would spend some time investing the marketplace and determining what is the most valuable knowledge you have in order to sell it. For example, my husband/partner (@JasonDion) has degrees in Human Resources, IT/Cybersecurity, and Counseling. All of our courses are on IT/Cybersecurity because we found that to be the most lucrative and profitable market for him to teach in. Do some research with the Insights tool and figure out where you may best fit in. (4) Should you drop everything and go fulltime? Not likely. Most people take years to be able to earn enough consistently to replace their fulltime job. For example, it took us over 15 courses and more than a two years to reach a point where we would have been comfortable having Jason quit his job. Creating courses isn't a "get rich quick" thing. If you are unemployed and need to feed yourself and your family, get a regular job right now and work the courses in your spare time. Anyone who tells you different is lying. After all, even if you sold $1000 this month, you won't get that money for atleast another 60 days from Udemy. How will you eat during that time? This is why you need a real job in the meantime. Instructors who simply "pump out courses" for the money rarely succeed and are often disappointed. It takes time to build up a following and find success. Plus, it takes weeks or months to build a course. Trust me, take it slow, find some small success, then build up to bigger successes! Tamera Dion
