@Mufaddal, I agree with you 100%.

BOTTOM LINE: Udemy gets you TRAFFIC and gets you SALES. If you cannot get that in this marketplace. If you cannot follow the rules. If you cannot adapt to the trend of changes...Then get out! Go get your own traffic and conversions—See if it´s that easy 😎 If you can´t, you must play by Udemy´s rules. And if you lost your earnings, you must be grateful for how long you went leaning on Udemy´s back. I´m not being too harsh. Just stating the facts. I am so blessed that Udemy gets me traffic and conversions. And that I don´t have to go create a Sales Page, and pay for a Course Hosting and Delivering platform, and a Payment Processor, and Facebook/YouTube ads. And do heavy SEO to rank posts on my blogs. HELL, I don´t even need to pay a domain, or do much else besides record, edit, and upload. Udemy does the rest. SO THANK YOU! AND if this is the end, thanks for what you provided up until this point. Love you Udemy. You´ve been great to me, and I will never forget you. ♥

@JulianJenki396 you are a wordsmith. Very well said. I would simply add that we should never "put all eggs in one basket"—If you have more than 1 or 2 years in Udemy, and have not yet expanded to a second or third source of income, and totally depend on Udemy NOT ONLY for their Marketing but also for their Conversions/Sales...Then you will have nightmares and wake up in the middle of the night sweating. I appreciate your gratitude towards the platform. A lot of people have made bank historically, but now it´s all negative energy towards Udemy. They forget who has been feeding them this whole time—I remember when you could get fans for cents into your Facebook Business Page. And reach a high % of them organically. Then the organic reach died, and you had to pay to reach them with advertising. I had 6,000 on one page. Then the method basically became obsolete—I can´t even begin to imagine the people suffering this in Udemy now, having dozens of courses, making thousands...And now: Nothing. Or, a lot less. OUCH. Things change, you adapt or die. And the people complaining need to skill up in Marketing & Conversion...Specially those that I see in esscoteric topics...Those could go right off Udemy with their social proof (students, reviews) and sell a course, or package all them into one high-ticket offer outside of Udemy.

Thanks for sharing. And for me, balance has always been harder than being extreme. So I am interested more about your time management for this second half of 2022. You said you will now focus on marketing and maintenance—I wonder how do you go about this? On a weekly basis, what does marketing mean, does that mean YouTube videos? Your Facebook Group? And what does maintenance mean? Does that mean updating your existing courses once per month?

Hey @DiogoAlvesd487 , how are you going to achieve that?

Hey @HofmeyrdeVo128 , how are you going to achieve that?

Anybody using TikTok yet to promote their courses?

SoyMarketer · ‎05-17-2022

Thanks!

SoyMarketer · ‎05-05-2022

Hey @JohnThompson. May I know your strategy with free courses? I noticed you have three of them...

SoyMarketer · ‎04-25-2022

Thank you for answering!

SoyMarketer · ‎04-25-2022

I´m interested in that. Are you interested in doing something in Spanish? I could be the Marketing instructor for the Spanish market, if that´s something you have considered. @Jason

SoyMarketer · ‎04-22-2022

@FedeGaray Honestly, I truly appreciate your answer. Because I was just looking at SEO, was really doubting the strategy because I don´t want to "Link Build". But appearently, like in YouTube, and as you just mentioned in Udemy...It is all about content. The greatest content simply surfaces thanks to all these algorithms...Which really motivates me to keep going. Would you be interested in doing a course together? Te interesa? Veo que has trabajado con Phil Ebner...Creo que tradujiste uno de sus cursos a Español. Si miras mi perfil, verás las calificaciones de mis cursos...Realmente estamos alineados tu y yo sobre la calidad de los contenidos...Y tal vez podríamos crear algo juntos.

SoyMarketer · ‎04-21-2022

Hey @FedeGaray, the same thing happened to me. Of course, at a smaller scale than you! But nonetheless, March was my best month ever as well! I wonder why? Why do you think that we both are doing better while a lot of other instructors say they are doing worse? I would say it is because you got courses for businesses like Excell, and I do as well, like Email Marketing...Do you think that is why? The niche/market?

SoyMarketer · ‎04-14-2022

Thanks for sharing this! And you are totally right! Specially about the part of taking 6 months to create a single course instead of 1 month. I can vouch for this, as I have taken longer than average to create a single YouTube video and it is showing in the results it is getting.

SoyMarketer · ‎04-07-2022

Hey buddy. This is interesting. How did you get those sales? Did you just publish it in Udemy, or did you do your own promotion? Do you know what position ranking you have for your Keyword in Udemy´s search results?

SoyMarketer · ‎03-25-2022

Flawless. 👌 P.S. You probably know by now: You will hear from me again. LOL. See ya for now. 🌹

SoyMarketer · ‎03-24-2022

Thanks a lot @Bella. I was looking at another instructor who works closely with Phil Ebiner. The guy has courses in English, Spanish, And Portuguese. His name is Diego Davila. And he has all the courses on his main profile. His instructor page bio is in English. His website is in English, but his YouTube is in Portuguese. This is the kind of mess I wanted to avoid, I wanted to keep Spanish & English separate, but I want all the social proof to go to the Spanish profile. It is a bit scary to think about doing videos for YouTube in English as well. I mean, I am barely managing to prepare updating current Spanish courses, creating new Spanish courses, creating YouTube videos in Spanish, and now with this English course I´m thinking I will also do a YouTube channel in English... So I just kind of wanted to set it up the best way. But I am still somewhat confused as to how to do what I want, And ultimately, I think the best choice is just publishing it ASAP in English, under the Spanish (original) profile, even though that profile has the Instructor page in Spanish, and Website / Facebook / YouTube in Spanish...Which may be confusing for any of the students that want to enroll in my new English course... But I just didn´t get how to go about this properly... Any information with this new post I left you @Bella would be appreciated it. Either way I´m starting the process, and creating it is independent of how I upload it...And so any new information about this will still be timely. Thanks!

SoyMarketer · ‎03-23-2022

@Bella last one for sure! 😎 I want my main profile (Spanish) to show 5 courses (Including the one that will go in the English profile). I want those students, and reviews, for the 5th course (English), to count in the main profile (Spanish). What I don´t want, is to show my Spanish profile in the English profile Course Sales Page. So, If I make the original (Spanish) profile invisible on the Sales Page for the English course that I´m thinking of creating, will the original profile reflect everything that happens with the 5th course (Even though it is invisible in that course´s sales page?) 🤔

SoyMarketer · ‎03-22-2022

@Bella don´t mean to be a pain in the butt. But just to clarify before I implement this method: If my original profile has the 4 Spanish courses, and I make it invisible for the 5th course, and the "new profile" visible...Will the original profile still get the student count, reviews, and will it show that the original profile has 5 courses, or 4 courses in the instructor profile page???

SoyMarketer · ‎03-22-2022

@Bella 🌹

SoyMarketer · ‎03-22-2022

P.S. Will it be okay for me to use my name as well in the new profile? Basically I just need to translate the profile to English, and in the near future, have a Website and YouTube channel in English as I expand in the US market.

SoyMarketer · ‎03-22-2022

Hey @Bella I was going to create a new post, but decided to reply here instead. I just want to know if this information is still relevant? I have four courses in Spanish. And want to create my first course in English. I like your advice on creating a new Udemy profile, making that profile the visible instructor for the English course, but host the course itself in the original Spanish courses account. Is this right? Do you give me the green light? 🍕😊

SoyMarketer · ‎03-18-2022

Did you ever replace the lesson with a totally new lesson? Or did you always just remake what you had already thought?

SoyMarketer · ‎03-18-2022

Thanks buddy!

SoyMarketer · ‎03-18-2022

Hey @LawrenceMMiller, I´ve asked @GregReverdiau, but I am not sure if he is as active as you are. Please help me out with this, since what you did is exactly what I´m trying to do for the first time (remake my first course since I got better at editing and making courses...) I´m just now sure how to go about it. Here´s what I wrote Greg above: "Hey Greg! This is exactly what I inted to do! My first course has remained without evolving since 2019. I want to overhaul it, remake the whole thing (Only 3.5 hours, not like your 12 hours! Lol)...But I am unsure how to. You did all 12 hours of new content, then you swapped it out in one day? How did you go about replacing new lessons for the old lessons? One at the time? Massive import? Any help will be greatly appreciated." Thanks Lawrence. I always read you and listen to your advice.

Awesome information. As always, in this journey...You find yourself listening to information you already know and deciding what the priority really is. Marketing on your own can be difficult as was said in this interview...So you have to decide how much of your time you want to create courses and how much you want to build your own audiences outside of Udemy. I say, build a solid portfolio of courses that Udemy starts selling for you, THEN focus on YouTube or whatever audience is most appropiate for your courses. Cheers.

SoyMarketer · ‎02-16-2022

Thank you @Bella, the team, and fellow instructors. 😎

SoyMarketer · ‎01-15-2022

What a journey! And very inspiring, that you could start a new market inside of Udemy by doing your own promotion. So, I am wondering, the educational announcements that you sent, are those only emails? I mean, is the content all inside the email? Or did you use a blog or YouTube to get people to click on something inside those educational announcments hence building your own audience outside of Udemy??

SoyMarketer · ‎01-14-2022

"What is your favorite thing about being an online instructor? The aliveness of the body of work I have created and continue to do so. I am the pioneer of teaching shamanism online, it is now commonplace and valued. I smile inside when I see others who once knocked me fervently for undermining the practices now embracing it." Awesome! There will always be doubters. I´m glad you stuck to it and made it happen while others doubted and criticized. My question would be: At course # what did you begin doing your own promotion? I´ve seen your screenshots, and I see that your promotions are even higher than Udemy´s. I don´t know if I should begin promotion simultanously as I produce courses... Having four already, not sure if I should begin to build my audience outside of Udemy or continue to build courses inside of Udemy. Thanks Sharon!
