@CodyWeinman104 Hello Maybe you are expecting yourself to record too much in one “take” or recording. Maybe break it up to 10 minute recordings. I use zoom to record and you mentioned zoom. When I experience a hiccup, I immediately end session and put the video clip in iMovies with a fade to black transition and tree with music. I edit to where I completed a section, or place I could begin again easily. Then on my next “take” I begin where the edit left off. When we are hyperaroused we can’t create well, or bring that A game we give in person, so practice calming exercises before you make another attempt. Drink water, go outdoors, listen to music. It doesn’t sound like you are technologically challenged. You sound human.

Amazing MarinaT! Thank you so much for this insight 🙂

Thank you for sharing.

This is what the Policy team said The short answer to this question is NO. In the long version, we are not sure if the instructors can deliver on their promises to make a course once per week and because students might want refunds we can't guarantee that this business model can be a successful one.

Hi @SilWright, @SAPBuddy, @Jak Się Rozwijać Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I absolutely enjoy it here in the instructor community!😊 @Jak Się Rozwijać: Many thanks for your feedback regarding a community newsletter. This is exactly what we are currently working on!🙌 Stay tuned! We update you once our newsletter goes live!😊

@gimatek for Learning Management Solutions to build, host and manage your course you have: - Kajabi (which you already know) - Teachable - Thinktific - Podia - Zenler I'm sure there are more. All of those will cost you more or less the same (hundreds to thousands of dollars per year). These are not platforms in the sense that they will do NOTHING to help you sell your course. For platforms. There are many other choices, I can't recommend any since my experience is only on Udemy. I can say that if you go over some old posts you'll find people trying other platforms and the revenue there is not even close to Udemy. Notably people are running away from Skillshare because they screwed over most of the instructors by reducing the pay significantly. I hope this helps.

RonErez · ‎08-10-2023

Thanks for the input. Indeed I also thought that giving out the course for free might have devalued the courses. Just experimenting since the course is turning no profit. Like you said, perhaps I should just move on.

Hi @GeoPeter015 Since your question is about partnering with a different instructor and taking content from other instructors we recommend you send an email to our Trust & Safety team at policy@udemy.com and they will guide you through the process you need to follow.

I'm əditing with my phone. Is that the reason for the black bars

MarinaT · ‎06-27-2023

Wow, @PV Drug Safety Academy. Thank you so much for taking the time to share these tips! It proves that constant marketing efforts are paying off 😊. I hope, this will be inspirational and motivational for fellow instructors 🙌.

FrankKane · ‎06-22-2023

Glad your courses are better than AI poetry! Congrats 🙂

Thanks ChatGPT.

As someone who's fairly new in this area, I know that if I had to have absolutely everything completely sorted out and under control, I'd probably never get it done. There's so many nuances to master, so I prefer the 'ready, fire, aim' approach, where you get started, and then steer

ProcessEngineeringHacks · ‎06-12-2023

Is the “Practice Insights” applicable for Practice tests too??

Rahmat S.T. · ‎06-09-2023

thank you udemy, the gift shirt just arrived at my place in Indonesia

MichaelPog · ‎05-25-2023

The pleasure is mine, @JeremyZhang955. Welcome to the instructor community.

Coach.Hector · ‎05-07-2023

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

Hey guys, where is the replay at? I could not make it to the live.

Ayesha A · ‎05-02-2023

hi Jack, To answer the second part of your question; Udemy will rank you well if you are going micro niche on already well established courses. What i mean by rank well is that it will show your course as NEW with already well established courses in first two or three courses, By going micro niche i mean dont create anymore course on how to do SEO. Instead create a course on How to do SEO for Car rentals/ How to do SEO for Solo Traveller. Give your students resources, tell them where to go, direct them, lead them. Zoom in deep and find the micro niche which people are searching for. Search for popular topics in Tools section of your instructor dashboard on your left hand side. Hope this helps. Regards Ayesha.

AbrahamTahbat · ‎04-29-2023

That wouldn't be allowed on Udemy, Even if your courses passes the review, it would be a waste of efforts and resources, since your courses wouldn't resonate with your students. One key element of success on Udemy is building Trust with your students.

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.

DamianMcKinnon · ‎03-23-2023

Bravo. Nodding my head on every point you raised.

g-LogConsul568 · ‎03-23-2023

Hello Guys, I need help! I have a course originally in English but now have uploaded VVT of other foreign languages. However how do I handle the quizzes and assignments originally in English now into the other foreign languages i just uploaded? Anyone's helpful direction please. Regards Charles

MichaelPog · ‎03-21-2023

I was just going to post the same thing. FINALLY!:) Thank you so much team.

Practicalbu693 · ‎03-18-2023

I asked to udemy team via chat by sending a screenshot as shown below. And they said it is fine to do so.

RaquelCoelho · ‎03-16-2023

I quite like my microphone. It's portable and has very clear sound, with pop prevention integrated. I have a Rode NT usb mini

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.

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.

AHardin · ‎03-02-2023

@OnlineProfessor yes, you most definitely can; I have two Teachable schools with monthly subscription plans. As @MichaelPog stated, Teachable Thinkific, Kajabi, etc. are LMSs that you pay a fee to use to host courses as your own training site. Many instructors here have their own online schools, in addition to selling courses on Udemy; it's a very common practice. @MichaelPogis correct; hosting your own courses doesn't break the UB exclusivity agreement, as the agreement states, "Once your content is included in a collection, you agree that you will not begin to offer any on-demand content, such as pre-recorded courses, that directly compete with or injure the sales of that content on any site or platform other than your own."

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?
