Shannon, Udemy does not announce their sales, but... Thanksgiving is Nov 25th, so Black Friday is the 26th. BF sales often start a few days before Thanksgiving and go through the weekend. Then, there is "Cyber Monday" which has become a big sale and that had expanded into a several days beyond. My advice is don't worry about it. There isn't really anything for you to do other than make sure your course(s) are in good shape and do your own promotion to your own mail list, if you have one. good luck.

Hi @Dr. Anjali G , we are happy to hear about your interest in getting involved! Currently, the CorpU offering is separate from the Udemy marketplace. As we continue to build the businesses together, we will make sure to inform our instructors of any relevant updates in the way we work with these programs. Bella Almeida Udemy Community

There is no rule against it. You can invite other instructors to meet virtually or live if they are near you.

Hi @Onnet , For Purpose code you shall use any option as tutor/blogger or something . I am not able to recall the exact option that I had selected while creating the account. And GST is not mandatory to create business account on paypal. So, no worries. Good luck !

Hi @CLINT, I fully agree with @LawrenceMMiller. I would also recommend taking this FREE Udemy Official Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/official-udemy-create-course Lecture 10 has specific details about your questions. In the past (when I was new), we had a similar Udemy Official Course and it was a game changer for me and my courses. I am talking out of that experience.

Hi! I'm brand new here and I have the same concern / observation. I agree with @LawrenceMMiller that it probably doesn't mean anything is wrong with your course. When Udemy puts everything on sale or coupons are offered, people buy lots of courses that just sit until the student is ready. I probably have 10 or more courses I've purchased but haven't yet started. But, it could be a missed opportunity as an instructor. If they're not taking your course, they're not getting results and you're not getting feedback. The great majority of people who responded to my first coupons have not taken my course. Here's how I think I'm going to look at it: The goal of early coupons is to get ratings, reviews, and feedback so you can improve the course. I'm just finishing my first round of updates based on feedback and reviews so far. Instead of using another coupon, I plan to reach back out to my existing students (PAID and FREE) and let them know that I have responded to early feedback - so my course is now better than it was when they first enrolled. I'm hoping that will motivate them to actually take the course and engage. Udemy has good reports, so I will be able to tell whether or not this strategy works. No idea if this is valid, but I'm going to try it. Wish me luck, and good luck to you, too!

Send an e-mail to that address asking why your account was suspended. If you don't use email, specifically whatever account you used to create your Udemy account, I bet the reason is already in your inbox and you just haven't read it.

LawrenceMMiller · ‎09-04-2021

@PaulWeiss16 Its a bit confusing. Your name is "Paul Weiss", I think. But, you don't sound like a "Paul Weiss." For a U.S./UK individual I find your accent difficult. However, more and more, the student population is from your part of the world. So, it may be OK. Personally, I think the promo would be better to be in the same voice and style as the course itself. Otherwise, it is a bit misleading. JMO

Hi All! My August sales were far below what I would have expected. After the change of Udemy policy in May, I see a 30% drop in my revenues which is very upsetting. I am wondering if this is only my case or more instructors see the same pattern?

Monica2021 · ‎08-31-2021

Thanks for sharing your story. I will pickup on some of the points.

I think you need to make your question more clear. The "nature" of what work? You may find this page helpful: https://community.udemy.com/t5/First-time-Course-Creation/bd-p/Course_Creation

Hi @Zulakha Arif Our minimum for a course is that it contains at least 30 minutes of video content contained within at least 5 lectures. This page is full of information about teaching on Udemy. Eliana Cerna Udemy Community

Bella · ‎08-11-2021

Thank you for your understanding, Luigi. Updating the content regularly is crucial for improving our search engine ranking and therefore increasing the chances of the course's success in the platform. But you're correct: updating your course every 6 months is not a requirement. Courses will only be flagged if they haven't historically had significant enrollments, little to no student or instructor engagement for some time, and the course landing page doesn't follow SEO best practices (all these three criteria). Thank you for your feedback in regards to the updates we share. I agree that being able to subscribe to our Help Center would be a great idea and I'll make sure to share this with the rest of our team. As always, we're here if you have any further questions or concerns. All the best! Bella Almeida Udemy Community

Michael, do you have a question? The purpose of this forum is to get help from other instructors in the creation and promotion of your courses.

Nola826 · ‎08-08-2021

Ohhh.. I see. Thank you so much! I thought the statistic will show up instantly. I know offering a free course on Udemy defeats the whole purpose, but my course is free at the moment because of a few reasons: 1. I thought it can boost my ratings and make it show up on the first few pages of the search 2. I do plan to turn it into a paid course in the future once I have solid ratings 3. I'm teaching a subject that is quite popular. As a newbie, I really need those ratings for my course to be seen. I heard it is hard for Udemy to promote instructors with zero track record. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. At the moment, my course engagement still showing 0 active students and 0 minutes view. If giving free courses isn't worth it, please do let me know. Thank you so much!❤️

CherifS16 · ‎07-15-2021

Thank you very much. I figured it out going over the course couple of times. Still learning how the platform works🙂,

Practicalbu693 · ‎06-30-2021

Hello sir I published my first free course yesterday but I'm not getting any enrollment. Can you please help me?

LawrenceMMiller · ‎06-22-2021

Good luck!

FrankKane · ‎06-19-2021

Wow, I'm not sure what is more frustrating - your audacity to exploit someone like this, or the fact that you actually found someone that quickly. I was about to report you to Udemy's trust & safety team because co-instructors are both supposed to bring something to the table in the production of the course. But either I mis-remembered that part of the policy, or it was changed. I take solace in the fact that if you are in fact paying someone $100/hr to create and market a 2 hour course in soft skills, that will probably run you about $15,000 or so, and you're unlikely to make that back. The instructor you hired may well get the better end of this deal (but I'd advise him to insist on an advance payment.) I get it, though. After seeing ACloudGuru get acquired for $2B a lot of us are wondering if we should be hiring a stable of instructors and building up our own large catalog of courses in hopes of getting acquired. Gotta remember they built up a catalog of thousands of labs and courses in the hottest topic there is though, and they did at a time when there was much less competition.

MiriamSlozb145 · ‎06-15-2021

Thank you very much. I am still working on the course and recording it now so it will be a few weeks before it is out. However, I may do the slide show thing!

Frantz · ‎06-13-2021

Hey @LawrenceMMiller, thank you for your guidance. I do appreciate the sureness of your response and the community as well. I want to state that the post I made was to let other educators on Udemy know they have some fresh meat in the community who is hoping to soak in all he can and primarily involve himself with the wise people in the ways of his pursuits.
