Glad your courses are better than AI poetry! Congrats 🙂

Hey @TejaswiniAllikanti - overall the content seems good. I watched through your preview video (thoughts below), please let me know if I can expand on any of this. I agree with Lawrence on the audio and your head angle at the start. For the audio: The opening audio isn't bad (I'm betting you're standing ~5-10 ft from your phone as you record in an open room), but a mic can definitely help improve that (if you can look for a lavalier or "lav" mic you can wear on your lapel, the wired ones are relatively inexpensive). The audio does change drastically when you go to screen sharing - having a mic will help smooth that (betting that was recorded on your computer mic, which tend to be lower-grade than phones). Around the 3 minute mark theres a LOT of interference If you have the ability you may want to add some graphics to the screen (e.g. you mention a number of statistics, splashing those on the screen can help make it more impactful). Personally I use iMovie to produce my videos and it's super simple to add on-screen text and graphics (happy to send more info over if you need it). For the one-screen text - you may be able to make the font bigger (the words disappear a bit into the background). There isn't an outro - I like to end with a "thank you for listening to my video, now go take the course" (or something similar).

Hi Lara @LaraCatherine71 Welcome to the instructors community. I like to wish you a great success in creating and teaching your courses on this Online teaching platform. You may have already read some or most of the Udemy posts guiding new instructors on how to create their courses, nevertheless, I am including here we links to Udemy posts to help you. Regarding your question, you need to use landscape mode in creating your videos, you have referred to it in your question by the term horizontal. https://community.udemy.com/t5/First-time-course-creation/Course-Creation-Resources/td-p/107174 https://community.udemy.com/t5/Audio-and-video-solutions/bd-p/Audio_Visual https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229232767-Video-Standards-and-Choosing-a-Camera https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229604988-Udemy-Course-Quality-Checklist Best regards,

I currently use iMovie, which supports greenscreening. Only issue I've had so far is it only allows 2 layers of video - the recorded greenscreen and my virtual background.

Now I see in "related content" that Lindsey Marsh seems to be the author before it was copied here.

Muchas Gracias @Bella tu profesionalismo inspira a los demás. Te deseo mucho exito en tus nuevas aventuras. Nuevamente Gracias te vamos a extrañar.

Hi @HanyEldiftar , @LawrenceMMiller is a great community supporter, and helped me a lot on how to improve my own courses. So, you should take his suggestions into consideration for sure. Of course, if you make research on your own at Udemy, you will see that this, "instructor-centered", or “old-school” approach of course creation dominates – instructors recording themselves. Larry is a great example how successful one can become by pursuing this approach. However, new technologies allow us to apply different styles. For example, I prefer "Whiteboard animation". Since I am a relatively new instructor, maybe I am not a good benchmark for you. However, check the following instructors who earned a status of “Udemy Instructor Partner” status: https://www.udemy.com/user/365careers/?kw=365+car&src=sac https://www.udemy.com/user/asengyczew/?kw=asen&src=sac Obviously, it’s up to you how you are going to build your own brand and authority. Faceless approach has his own Pros & Cons for sure – Larry mentioned the major concern. Regards, Boris

Thank you, @RobertBrown028 . Occasionally, an apparent wisdom emerges with random probability from a vast sea of foolishness.

CeciliaOsya967 · ‎05-02-2023

Incorporating examples researched from various geographical locations may be useful

LawrenceMMiller · ‎04-25-2023

Don't confuse your students. To be successful in this business, or any business, you need to build your brand and gain the advantage of selling to loyal customers who respect you. Instructors who make a real business of selling courses have created brand identity.

RBarr7817 · ‎04-21-2023

Thank you, @Bella Bella. Let me see if I can edit the reply later. But you could also delete the course from the platform. I see it as a problem for everyone who would benefit from it. I follow my advice, and I'm doing great. It was my birthday, and I remembered that horrible incident just as my research into Longevity Medicine got much deeper, and I am creating something more impactful. We also must re-think how we engage in society and not just accept anonymous attacks. Intelligent discourse is critical. Do you know if a person had a fight with a boyfriend, or just got denied a job, or anything else that same day, that framed the action? The 'hater' comment has a little projection involved because I remembered that when I was deciding whether to launch another program (not here) that coincided with my birthday. I had horrible customer experiences, and I never, I repeat, NEVER gave anybody a 1-star—especially anyone at my intellectual level. I would be profoundly embarrassed. To give anyone a 1-star, that person would have to be Lucifer.

KevinMichae317 · ‎04-21-2023

Thanks Lawrence - I missed your name out of my reply!

Bella · ‎04-20-2023

Hey Larry, I also just heard the latest episode of our podcast, "Leading Up", and I couldn't agree more - your daughter was an incredible guest! Her insights on leadership and navigating challenges were truly inspiring. It's always a pleasure to hear from such talented individuals, and she definitely brought a unique perspective to the conversation. It's great to see our instructors and their families achieving such amazing things. Thanks for sharing the link with the community! 😊

Michael_D_Nwaogu · ‎04-18-2023

A lot of sweet stuff really, I even noticed that each IP Address instructors use to access their accounts could be seen easily by instructors too now. Or may be it has been there and that I'm just seeing it, it's cool. More grease to your elbows, guys. You are simply on fire. Thank you.

LawrenceMMiller · ‎04-17-2023

I am sure you can. I don't use it that way so you may want to check the specs and ask a question on the B&H site. They are very good about answering questions like that.

Bella · ‎04-11-2023

Hi @LawrenceMMiller, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I completely agree that certain cases are out of the community's scope. I would like to inform you that our Trust and Safety team already takes measures to ban users from the community when they are banned from the platform. However, in some situations, instructors might have different email addresses in the community, and in these cases, it is possible for them to post messages even after being banned from Udemy. As for your second suggestion, we agree that communication is key to avoiding these issues. Our Trust and Safety team works diligently to ensure that our policies and guidelines are followed, and we will continue to make improvements to our messaging to ensure that banned instructors receive clear information about Udemy's policies. We always encourage banned instructors to contact policy@udemy.com if they have any concerns or need further clarification about their ban. Our policy team is more than happy to assist them and provide any additional information they might need. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. As always, we appreciate your support in making our community a safe and positive environment.

The course that I'm presently developing delves into the negative aspects of AI. In my view, bots could potentially serve as a supplementary means for AI algorithms to acquire additional knowledge, much like a student. These algorithms could be obtained from various sources, including Udemy, its rivals, or other entrepreneurs. Did the learners pay for your course, or did they merely browse through it? Furthermore, AI has the ability to extract information from a program and utilize it to generate a course or a book, taking the process of learning to a whole new level. This is an exhilarating prospect, but one that is also accompanied by unintended consequences.

Bella · ‎03-31-2023

Hi @Nuno.936, thank you for reaching out to us regarding this. I'm sorry to hear your account was banned. Here in the community, we do not have access to account-specific information or the ability to unban accounts. We kindly request you to contact our Trust and Safety team at policy@udemy.com with your account details and any relevant information you may have. They will be able to provide you with more information on the reason for your account ban and address any concerns you may have. Thank you for your cooperation!

DamianMcKinnon · ‎03-23-2023

Teleprompter Pro from the Microsoft Store. It's cheap and does everything I want to with minimal learning curve.

LawrenceMMiller · ‎03-20-2023

Apparently you succeeded because it shows no courses in your profile.

jvjarvinen · ‎03-19-2023

Thank you very much for the answer! 👌

Michael_D_Nwaogu · ‎03-16-2023

@ChrystieV Thank you for letting us know you are with us. More grease to your 💪 . We are working on getting better at our craft too, to at least grow with Udemy a little, as you can see from most instructors' comments and contributions in the community. And so sorry for those who lose their jobs due to this step by Udemy, I hope you find an open door quickly. ☝To the North, we move on!😉 Thank you.

RonErez · ‎03-14-2023

thank you, I appreciate the resources and help. I went through the resources and currently I'm watching the webinar that you recommended. Thanks !

SaiAcuityIn756 · ‎03-07-2023

I use google translate once I download the English caption file. Create VTT docs and upload, its pretty simple. Takes time when it comes to long duration courses but I try to create captions in languages like Spanish, French, German since for my courses I see lot of interest from these regions. Moreover I create captions only for my highly saleable courses.

Aconselhor que leia as políticas de preços da Udemy. Não é assim que funciona. Tem princípios bazares na plataforma, que desfazem por completo esta métrica. A Udemy oferta cupons de desconto que podem zerar seu valor de curso, a Udemy pode não expor seus cursos na vitrine, eles podem ofertar cupons de desconto de até 100%, o que zera seu valor a receber. Portanto, @Lucas190 Lucas190, infelizmente não é assim que funciona. Também entrei bastante empolgado e como sou um velho que atua na docência há várias décadas, pensei que ia ficar rico. Com o tempo, você vai ver como funciona. Boa sorte.

Ahmad.Elhajjar · ‎03-01-2023

So my question now is: What is the most effective permanent link to be sent to our students that we know to earn the 97% of the price?

LawrenceMMiller · ‎02-28-2023

@Justin-A I can't imagine why you couldn't. Mics are not specific to any use. I use the following for everything and it is well worth the money. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1484178-REG/sony_uwp_d21_14_uwp_d21_camera_mount_wireless_omni.html

LawrenceMMiller · ‎02-26-2023

I am not sure why my opinion, or any other instructors opinion on the mental health of this generation has any validity or meaning. Do some research on indicators of mental health in different countries, ages, etc. There is a lot of data out there, but our opinions are meaningless.

Thank you for the quick response!
