I don't do screencasting in my courses, so I am not the best person to answer this. But as long as your test videos got no complaints, then there's nothing to worry about. What udemy provides are recommendations, not restrictions. So I believe you're good to go. As for the black lines, that means you might have the wrong screen size when you do the screen capture... just use the standard size 1920x1080 when you capture the screen. Anyways, as long as the video pass the test video process, then you have nothing to worry about. Good Luck

@Bella we would appreciate a post when any of the above issues are resolved. I am holding up promotional emails till it is confirmed that's working fine

Maged-Koshty · ‎04-21-2022

you can start by asking udemy itself to evaluate your video. Click on the "tools" icon on the left and then click "Test Video" and upload your video there

What do you mean b the criteria? If you mean how the revenue is shared between udemy and the instructor, you can check this article. again, feel free to ask me if you need more help

Salamo Alikom Sayed, Welcome to Udemy, Feel free to ask any questions here and I will be happy to help Maged

Generally, you can. Unless your course is part of Udemy for business catalog then you can't. Also, you can't host your course for free on another platform while it's a paid course on Udemy. you can check this thread for more info https://community.udemy.com/t5/First-time-Course-Creation/Can-I-sell-my-course-to-another-platform/m-p/51134

Hello AbdElbaseer, this is a community for instructors. So you shouldn't expect to find students here. Good Luck

Maged-Koshty · ‎02-15-2022

Welcome and good Luck Bernie 🙂

we don't promote courses here Tith. This is an all-instructor community.

Maged-Koshty · ‎12-06-2021

Students don't know you yet. - Give your course away to your friends to evaluate it. - Put some free coupons to your course in relevant groups on Facebook and LinkedIn to add some social proof to your course.

I think you better post your question to Joshua's post itself to ensure that he sees it and responds.

Here're my "very quick answers: 1- yes it's very normal ... don't worry about it 2- text-to-speech tools are not allowed in udemy 3- yes can use any kind of video... you better create a video and send it to udemy for validation ... click on the tools icon from your instructor board to get to the "test video" area 4- yes you can ... but why wait till you're successful on udemy ... market your courses now to the people you know will be interested in your courses

Maged-Koshty · ‎10-18-2021

You better read this article to know the difference between free and paid courses (as it is not only a matter of price) https://teach.udemy.com/changes-free-courses/ and take good care of the last section in the article that talks about toggling between paid and free courses

Maged-Koshty · ‎10-14-2021

Great post as expected @LawrenceMMiller ... thanks for sharing

Maged-Koshty · ‎08-04-2019

Ahlan Mostafa, (1) you don't need to show yourself the whole course....it's not required but it is recommended. I suggest just a few minutes at the beginning of the course or at the beginning of every section of the course would be fine. Showing yourself as a good effect that students connect to you better visualizing who is talking to them. happy students mean more sales. (2) it depends...any answer will be subjective...I don't think there're statistics to show if they are good or bad ... so it is up to you.

Maged-Koshty · ‎06-13-2019

That is perfect

Maged-Koshty · ‎06-09-2019

exactly... you can measure the progress and enjoy the success 🙂

Maged-Koshty · ‎05-31-2019

You should over-type what is written

Maged-Koshty · ‎05-19-2019

yes sure... I guess most of udemy courses are screen cast and voice over

Maged-Koshty · ‎05-19-2019

if your question is whether to have 2 courses for each language or just one course? then for sure 2 courses. and from my experience... if your course is good then you'll make more money from the english course ... but it's better to start with the course using your mother tounge which is Spanish. When you're start with the course in you rnative language...the barrier of the 2nd language is removed and you'll speak fluently and in a more interactive way. when done, you can use what you have said already in the spanish course and ranslate it to english...the interactivity will be transffered to the english course as well. Good Luck 🙂

Maged-Koshty · ‎04-24-2019

Thanks Dear for the nice introduction. It's my pleasure to help my fellow udemians.

Maged-Koshty · ‎04-10-2019

study your competition, there're many courses on udemy that teach english... if you have something to distinguish yourself from the current courses, then go ahead.

Maged-Koshty · ‎03-27-2019

Thanks Sharon for this post. You mentioned games and role-playing, any specific example of how to do that in Udemy platform?

Maged-Koshty · ‎02-13-2019

Udemy will auto generate this for you when you publish your course make sure you click on the captions tab on the left then and review the captions check my post about this https://community.udemy.com/t5/First-time-Course-Creation/English-courses-by-non-native-English-speakers/m-p/695#M42

Maged-Koshty · ‎02-10-2019

yeeeh, I miss Scott Duffy 🙂

Maged-Koshty · ‎02-03-2019

Makes sense .... competition is a factor for sure ... I am the first in the field in udemy ... so no competition actually ... so I will go with smaller courses then Thanks Greg

Maged-Koshty · ‎02-02-2019

My area of teaching has around 10 topics. When I look at book authors in my field, I see that they usually have ALL of the beginner aspects of each topic under ONE book but adavanced aspects for each topic will be in a separate book. If I am to create a beginner course, it will be around 50 hours ... each topic by itself is around 3-5 hours. So how do you think I should manage this: 1- Start with one beginner topic and add to it? 2- Create different beginner courses and then combine them at the end? would the students who bought more than one smaller courses be happy about that? 3- Just create shorter ones 4- Wait till I create the whole 50 hours and publish it as one course (this might take 6 months) The other problem is that not all topics will be of the same interest to the students. 3 or 4 will be of high demand, 3 or 4 with medium to low demand and a couple will be tough to sell because they just "good to know" Any tips? Thanks in advance

I measure my accent enhancement progress by checking how the udemy autogenerated subtitles to my courses turn out. The better the accent, the better the auto generated quality of the subtitles with little mistakes.

Maged-Koshty · ‎01-30-2019

Many of us including myself create English courses even though English is not our first language. Even though I lived in Canada for 10 years and no one complained about my accent, I was surprised to see the negative feedback from my udemy students that my accent is really bad. Turns out that I had a hard accent and Canada is really such a nice country. To overcome the bad reviews regarding my accent, I had to take few actions: 1- Add subtitles/captions to my courses ... this really helped a big deal. --- If you have a script that you read while recording you courses, creating captions would be easy...use youtube or a tool called "Subtitle Edit" to create the subtitles for you. -- if you don't have a script, then take a look at what udemy has created for you already under the "Captions" tab of your course .... please please, review what has been created there and don't leave it as is ... for some reason, the auto generated captions are usually +18 :D, so your students won't like it as is. 2- In my welcome message of my courses, I ask my students to make sure they watch the Preview videos for my course...I even stated very clearly that I have an accent and I want to make sure they can get along with my accent 3- I took a udemy course to enhance my accent ... well, it's my career and I have to develop myself ... and to my surprise, I noticed my flaws and gradually they are getting better. 4- There's a difference between an accent and bad English. Accents are acceptable, bad English grammar is not. Make sure you English is good ... use spell checker, grammar checker whatever it take to make sure your English is good. Well, that was my action plan to enhance my courses, If you have any other tips, please share them with the rest of us. Thanks
