We’re so happy you’re here. New platforms can be difficult to navigate for the first time, so we’ve put together a quick guide to help you find the best place to ask questions and get advice. Sections & forums Studio U Studio U is a space for all Udemy instructors — aspiring, just published, or veteran — to connect and exchange ideas. If you’re brand new to Udemy, Studio U is the place to start. Within Studio U, we’ve divided the conversation into four forums: Welcome & Introductions: Create an introduction video and share it in this forum. You can also watch other instructors’ videos to get to know them better. This is also the place to find our community guidelines. First-time Course Creation: This space is for aspiring instructors who are working on their first ever Udemy course. If you’re confused by something or just need some clarification, check out this forum for guidance. A/V Solutions: Mastering audio and visuals is one of the hardest parts of creating a course, especially if you’ve never made a video before. Use this forum when you need help recording, editing or troubleshooting the videos for your course. Stories & Inspiration: Share funny jokes or inspirational stories with other instructors. This is a space for you to connect with your peers and motivate one another. Published Instructor Club Published Instructor Club is an exclusive space for published Udemy instructors. When you publish your first course, you will immediately get access to this section. Within Published Instructor Club, we’ve divided the conversation into four forums: Course Creation: You know how to create a course and use Udemy’s platform, but there are always areas to improve and streamline. Use this forum to chat about more advanced course creation tactics. Marketing: There are so many different ways to market yourself and your courses. Discuss the different strategies you’ve tried and learn from other instructors’ experiences. Course Management: This space is for you to get (and share) tips and tricks for how you manage your course once you have students, including responding to student feedback and updating published courses. Stories & Milestones: Share your wins with the community. Whether that’s hitting a revenue goal, laughing at a blooper or overcoming a major challenge, we want to hear it all. International communities Our Instructor Community has members all around the world, so we created international communities in different languages to enable non-English speaking instructors to share their experiences with their peers. We have Studio U communities in: Spanish Portuguese German French Japanese You can switch between the different language communities by using the toggle in the lower right corner of the site. In each international community, we have two forums: Announcements & Resources: This space is for Udemy to share exciting updates and news, alongside our community guidelines.
