Hello Everyone, A student in my course just requested I create a Discord group. Namely he asked: "What do you think about creating a course community, for example on Discord or a different platform? I think it would be motivating for some people, being able to share their projects (not only the ones you showed) or find collaborators to create projects with, so it'd have another educational value. As far as I know, programmers usually create projects in groups. It'd be inspiring as well, seeing that others create various things. Udemy has its Q&A section, but I think that many people are not accustomed with using this platform's messaging system, but they know something like Discord much more." Does anyone have experience with this? I actually thought of making a course Facebook group but perhaps Discord is better for Q&A and sharing projects, etc. I'm not really active on social media besides Reddit. I think this would be an extension of the Udemy platform. There should also be some way to deter self-promotion. I don't want the platform to become a place for annoying promotions. Maybe I could create a dedicated section for promotions although I think this might be a bad idea. Thanks! Ron

Honestly I'm not sure. I\ve noticed in the long run one receives roughly 4-5 dollars per sale where it's closer to 4. Buy I have received less than a dollar for a sale. I have no idea why. So I don't have an answer. I would think that if someone has 1000 students that paid for a course then the instructor probably made roughly $4000 give or take.

I truly accept and glad to be part of the challenge

You joined udemy deals which will make your course price down to 12$ so you accepted 10$

Hello John, I want to begin by expressing my congratulations on your success and gratitude for sharing your inspiring story. I have a question regarding microphones. Currently, I'm utilizing a Blue Yeti, which, as you noted, tends to capture background noises such as birds and dogs outside. Do you have any recommendations for a microphone that might be better suited for my needs? I'm preparing to develop multiple new courses and believe it's time to upgrade my equipment. Over the past year, I've experienced some degree of success and I'm eager to enhance my setup. Best, Ron

Hey @MarinaT hope a recording will be posted soon, I could not attend.

It has been my full time job since 2018, it is my main source of income. 65-70% from Udemy, the rest from my own hosting.

GuilhermeMP · ‎01-15-2024

Awesome! I'm very proud to be part of this great milestone hehe. 100,000 and counting...

RonErez · ‎01-15-2024

At least your friend, by paying more, is supporting Udemy instructors. That does have some value. Indeed the only person that can help is Udemy support. Good luck!

RonErez · ‎01-15-2024

I set goals in my planner. For instance by date such and such I want to add a new section to a course. Some courses are updated daily. I also set long term goals for new courses. But just a plain old planner. I've added notes to apples notes app, but I lose track of those.

Hi Cynthia, It helps if your topic is in-demand and up-to-date and your course has to be at least as good as your competition. Audio and video quality is crucial. Finally the intro video and thumbnail are both important. The first two months of your course sales is crucial since it will appear as "hot and new" and you'll get a lot of exposure. In that period it is great if people buy your course since after the two month period if there are not much sales then your course will be harder to find under the Udemy search. As Eliana pointed out it takes time for a course to pick up, but I would say the first two months are crucial. Finally Udemy has a lot of free tutorials that provide good tips for course creation. Good luck ! Ron

Hello @LindsayMarsh Congratulations on this huge milestone and thank you for sharing your experience.

BusinessTouch · ‎01-03-2024

This post was good to help but unfortunately, it seems ignored. Anyway, I need feedback from friends in India and Pakistan because my course is in Hindi/ Urdu languages. Can a few people check my promo video of the Business Pro Course and help me know if such a course is going to be helpful for people?

RonErez · ‎12-07-2023

Ooh. I see. Thank you! Ron

Annyves221 · ‎11-27-2023

@RonErez taking your advice and...factoring it in to how ill continue thanks ... And good luck to you as well

RonErez · ‎11-06-2023

Oh, I see. I actually wrote to Udemy that I'm worried about the whereabouts of my missing student. I don't know how one can take seriously a review from a student that is no longer with us.

Great, thank you ! Ron

MarinaT · ‎09-07-2023

That's great! Enjoy 😊.

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.

RonErez · ‎07-14-2023

Yes, very helpful. Thanks !

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

Hey @RonErez - I'm sorry to hear it's demotivating! Personally I got hit with a review that compared my course to a sandwich without any filling (ouch). it hurt... but I used it to motivate me to figure out what other content I could add... I didn't really have any feedback on what was missing, so I went through my script to try and figure out areas to expand. It could be you could benefit from adding a "basics" section - at least that way you can point folks to it, and it also may hook more folks if they're put off by the more advanced content. I hope you stick with it - I know we've all taken our lumps, but I still find this a rewarding place to put my energy.

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

DamianMcKinnon · ‎03-23-2023

Bravo. Nodding my head on every point you raised.

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 !

Yannick_Agbana · ‎03-10-2023

Great!

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.

RonErez · ‎02-22-2023

Cool, thanks. Indeed I registered for the coffee chat.
