Hi @ZENITHACADE059 I'm sorry to hear you have been dealing with the rejected submission of the tax form. I understand tax forms can be tricky, unfortunately, we at Udemy are unable to provide you with tax advice.  Instructors are responsible for remitting any income tax relevant to them to their local tax authorities. We suggest consulting a tax professional for individual tax advice or to understand your tax responsibilities for the income received from Udemy.    You might want to check the following article that provides relevant information.   Thanks for your understanding!   Eliana  Udemy Community Moderator      ...

Hi there, First time 1-star reviews?! I wouldn't worry if I were you because there is literally nothing you can do about it. Rating is purely under students' power and they can do whatever they want with it. And a lot of students are abusing it, unfortunately. They think if they don't like even the slightest thing they are obliged to give it the lowest rating ever. As an example (and no this is not a joke) student gave me the low rating because I snapped fingers in one of my lectures (he called it "unprofessional" and bashed the course with the low review). Now about the effect on sales. Coming from my 1500+ reviews, I can safely say that courses jump up and down with ratings wildly especially at the beginning (you have only 78 reviews in total, so I guess it is just a beginning for the course). As an example, one of my courses went as low as 2.9 on ratings because of such students but then it went back up now sitting at 4.1. And at any time between those, I didn't see a drop in sales, only steady growth. As for the refunds. Yes, when a student is refunded, both Udemy and instructor are losing what they earned from the course, there is nothing you and Udemy can do about that, It is the policy. And yes, a lot of students are abusing it, by going through the course, pretending they didn't like it (leaving 1-star review with no comment) and refunding it. Yes, such people exist and they are abundant. But again, you can not do anything about it. So please, do not worry. Just focus on improving your courses, on new courses and everything will be fine. I hope it helps.   Kind Regards, Nick ... View more

May was down 10% from April, which was fine with me since April was such a killer month. I will be happy if June can just be down another ten percent from May. It will still be very good.    But, like everyone else, the first week has been slow. Maybe a sale will kick in this month.  ... View more

Hi @VipinJoshi There has been an increase in new courses submitted for review, which is currently leading to longer waiting times to get a reply from the team. We shared this as an announcement in the community. You can check it out here. Please don't worry you'll get a response once you are next.   Eliana Cerna Udemy Community      ... View more

Hi there! Congrats on your course and on considering a second one too. I've had a mixed experience with offering too many free coupons. I ended up with reviews that weren't helpful or insightful and wondered if this was because people didn't pay for the course/invest in it. It's hard to say. That's been my experience. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do!  ... View more

Congratulations on getting this milestone. It's a huge milestone but for you its not that huge you are expecting it to be.  The point stating let your student succeed and you will succeed in longer run is perfect. I too believe in that. The marketing strategy as seen in below conversation helps a lot. I have seen few students getting enrolled by You Tube or blogs where i am putting udemy profile links. The students visit my page frequently and give me sales. I always try to check their positive and negative comments. The negative comments help me in learning and positive boost me to move forward. Thank you for sharing such a milestone. It always help in getting an idealogy that the mark instructor got is possible. The only way to get there is hard work and devotion. The most utmost thing is believe that it can happen with you as well.    Once again a big congratulations on getting this milestone.  @Robert_Marzullo wrote:     Super excited to have finally reached this one. 100,000 in sales on Udemy and here is some of what I learned on the way. ( Thos took 3 years by the way! )   1. Consistent output is key. Either updating existing courses or making new courses. ( I have 12 courses now. ) 2. Appreciate bad reviews. What!? Yep, I said it. Those are the ones that will lead you to better course creation if you listen! ( of course I mean the constructive ones. ) 3. Learn to promote your content. Don’t wait for Udemy to do all the work. You can notice that over time I got better at selling my own courses. I started to get less organic sales so I began to share more videos on YouTube, engage with my audience on social media, and create more blog posts. I now bring in 30% of my own sales. 4. Build your audience off Udemy! The real power is in your following and they love interacting with their favorite instructor so give them ways to do that. For me it is pretty easy since I teach art. I comment on their art and give any insights I can. Create helpful free content for your target student as well as a clear line of sight to your course content. 5. Help as many people succeed as you can. Do this and you will find success along the way! 6. Don’t wait for perfection!  It isn’t even a real thing in my world.  I am an imperfect being and I share that in my content.  Besides, I would never get anything done if I thought otherwise.   I hope this helps and I am here if you have any questions! 🙂   -Robert       ...

Hi @VipinJoshi  there is a lot of information we don't need to know, your date of birth for a start. It has an awkward formal feel to it. Plus you have overused the bold text. Try this - introduce who you are, what you are teaching and why in a more conversational way. Then in the next paragraph say how you are going to teach people, then have your first list of qualifications You could try to bullet point your qualifications into one list Why they should learn from you and follow this with a second list for career achievements.   ...

The courses that are paid on platform have a different meaning than the courses offered for free. The tendency of student to get enrolled in course is just because it is offered for discounted price ( incase of paid courses). The free courses on other hand are just like having something for free and not using it afterwards. ... View more
