Hello i'm a computer science entusiast . i thought to create course , the subject is IT developing specially networking cybersecurity , but this isn' what i woudl like to get better understanding of . 1) it seems the earning potential from these courses is huge , maybe is me who is poor anyway. but the most rated courses if you multiply the students who attended the course with the euro it cost worth millions of euro , staying to a realistic target for me underrated courses than show up in the 4th 5 th pages are still worth thousands minimum . thats impressive for me that at the beginning i was making tutorials on you tube getting like 100 views . This makes me quite skeptical of the actual organisation that a person need to complete a course and publish it so here are the questions about: 1) after you created a course you are automatically allowed to post it on udemy at zero cost ? or they review courses and then submit the suitable, i know about the minimum requirement in term of hours of teaching ecc. 2) taking as example one of the most common topic to write about : developing with python , but can be anything. assuming my course is 20 hours long how much time you think it will take for me to create it from the beginning ? two months ? 3) how much is promotion important i mean, first thing, i am actually an employee far from starting being a full time instructor relying solely on udemy as income . being active on social media like linkedin instagram creating my one page site , you tube ecc... is really important since the beginning where you have posted only one or two course or become relevant only when you already have different assets established . 4) what about reupdating your course ( which sounds tremendously boring btw ) in the matter of IT especially updating is something really continuuos and a big burden or once the course is done you generally don't need to care of it much. 5) what are the most important tools needed for this job. of course a microphone but i thought that i only need a microphone camtasia and patience , something else ???
