After recording since 2017 in front of a green canvas, followed by recording in my office, in 2022 I was able to realize my dream of a dedicated studio. Right next to my house. It's just 2.5 x 3 m (approx. 8 x 9 ft) small, which is a challenge regarding acoustics. But with self-made acoustic panels, professional panels, etc. I managed to get a decent sound. The best things about a dedicated studio (mine has only a small window, which I cover with another acoustic panel): - Constant lighting conditions, no matter the weather or the time of day - I can record NOW, whenever I want to, and don't have to invest 1 hour to set everything up to record a 5 min video - I have multiple options for settings (one with a dark background, used for talking heads, another with a white wall for slide presentations) I use 2x LED panels as main lights and 4x small light tubes for color effects. Sony Alpha 6400 Teleprompter Rode NTG 5 Rode Wireless Pro II One of the angles for talking heads A pic with a bit more of the studio visible Hope this is helpful and inspiring for some of you. What do you think about my setup? Do you recognize the badge? Best Axel PS: I have a couple of videos taken when I did the renovation showing the changes in acoustics, depending on the panels. If you are interested, please leave a note and I post the videos.

Hey @MarinaT , great to see you here 🙂

AxelRittershaus · ‎05-05-2023

Hallo @MarinaT , habe Deine Erwähnung erst jetzt gesehen - sorry. Hallo @Peter-Klausmann , die einfache Antwort auf Deine Frage: "Wie sind Eure Erfahrungen, kann irgend jemand in Deutschland ausschließlich von den udemy-Einnahmen seinen Lebensunterhalt bestreiten?" lautet: Ja, die gibt es. Allerdings sind diejenigen, die ich kenne, schon seit langer Zeit dabei und überwiegend im Programmierumfeld tätig. Mit ausschließlich deutschsprachigem Content, der nicht aus dem Programmierumfeld kommt, ist es aber schwer, komplett den Lebensunterhalt via Udemy zu verdienen. Ob es empfehlenswert ist, wäre die zweite Frage. Udemy kann jedoch ein exzellenter zusätzlicher Kanal sein, um substantielle Einnahmen zu erzielen und für Bekanntheit zu sorgen - die sich auch auf Offline-Tätigkeiten auswirken kann. Hilft Dir das weiter? VG Axel

Due to the time zone, I won't make it, but I am looking forward to the recording, @RyanJaress

AxelRittershaus · ‎11-21-2022

Oh wow, these two legends - that's going to be an amazing session! Unfortunately, I have a session scheduled with clients at that very time, but I am looking forward to the recording! @JasonDion sorry I'll miss it. Have fun 🙂

Black Friday war schon immer ein Hammer-Event, vor allem wenn man auch englischsprachige Kurse im Angebot hat. Es wird dieses Jahr spannend, ob wie vielen Krisen zur einem deutlich veränderten Verhalten führen. Ich wäre zufrieden, wenn ich die gleichen Ergebnisse wie 2021 sehen würde und begeistert, wenn es 20% mehr wäre 🙂 Zur Vorbereitung habe ich einige - vor allem deutschsprachige Kurse- aktualisiert und meinen Bestseller mit vielen neu aufgenommenen Videos qualitativ aufgewertet. Unten sehr Ihr mein "Studio" vor 5 Jahren und heute:

AxelRittershaus · ‎10-06-2022

Wooohooo!!! Still remember the days of the Facebook group, the complaints about moving away from it, and now look at this 🙂 Onwards and upwards

AxelRittershaus · ‎10-03-2022

Na dann... 🙂

AxelRittershaus · ‎08-18-2022

Knowing of @JimmyNaraine 's success and having seen him present, it will for sure be a very valuable session. I won't be able to make it in person, but I look forward to the recording. Thanks to @ChrystieV for organizing it and to Jimmy for investing his time in this community. Axel

AxelRittershaus · ‎07-29-2022

Thanks for the inspiring session Molly ( @Bella : I tried to tag Molly to the conversation but couldn't find her name in the list). As promised, I had blocked some time in my calendar, and I actually managed to write 10 short 'scripts' for Insta Reels for a new course within 30 minutes today. All are VERY short, as I learned from you, between 50 and 60 words = probably 30 - 40 seconds per clip. I just experienced that it's actually not that difficult to script a bunch of short Reel scripts. I'll keep you posted (and tagged when publishing) about the outcome.

AxelRittershaus · ‎07-29-2022

Welcome @RyanJaress

AxelRittershaus · ‎07-19-2022

Looking forward to it! Hot topic 🙂 My questions: 1. What's the benefit of creating a series of reels regarding a specific topic and how should the episodes be split (in terms of the time of publishing) 2. What's the best way to convert a person watching a reel to a buyer (or at least get them to click on a link)? 3. Or is it better to offer something for free as a download and do email marketing after the person registered for the download? See you next week, Axel

AxelRittershaus · ‎06-23-2022

Thanks so much, @Bella

AxelRittershaus · ‎06-18-2022

Hi @Bella do you have an idea as of when the recording will be available? Or did I miss the link ?

AxelRittershaus · ‎06-07-2022

Interesting question! Very curious to see other replies 🙂 My style focuses on minimizing theory and maximizing practical tips, methods, and examples. I'm very straightforward and also limit the storytelling - keeping in mind, that the majority of my students are very busy managers, executives, or talents. I script everything, as to avoid any uhms and repeating stuff. And I still allow myself some spontaneous changes to the script as I record - because sometimes a new idea presents herself the moment I read from the teleprompter and see the camera rolling 🙂

Wir nutzen inhouse seit Jahren Final Cut Pro für den Videoschnitt und Audacity zur Audiobearbeitung. Freelancer, die wir bei der Postproduktion mit einbinden, setzen oft auf Adobe Premiere und die Profi-Tools meines Tonmeisters kenne ich gar nicht 😉 das ist eine ganz eigene Welt für sich.

AxelRittershaus · ‎05-25-2022

Super, freue mich auf die Aufzeichnung 🙂

AxelRittershaus · ‎04-21-2022

Great topic, I won't be able to attend live, but look forward to the recording.

AxelRittershaus · ‎04-14-2022

Wonderful story and kudos to you. Actually, I think it's better NOT to have revenue numbers in your chart to avoid demotivating people at stages 1 & 2. Keep up your great work.

AxelRittershaus · ‎04-14-2022

Oh man, how amazing it is being able to move sections around! Thank you!!!

AxelRittershaus · ‎04-14-2022

Great idea. Won't be able to make it this time due to a conflict in my calendar, but you guys go and enjoy it!

AxelRittershaus · ‎04-12-2022

Eindeutig YouTube. Denn 1. sind wir mit der Videoproduktion für Udemy ohnehin im gleichen Medium unterwegs und 2. gibt es dort noch gute Möglichkeiten, mit guten Inhalten gefunden zu werden.

AxelRittershaus · ‎03-29-2022

Thanks so much @KatieBent , I just watched the recording and it was a great reminder of things I know I should do 😉 and several valuable new ideas!

AxelRittershaus · ‎03-14-2022

Thanks @JasonDion, confirms my approach 🙂 Since we met in Berlin and you shared your approach, I have someone for video editing (busy getting 2 more onboard) and another person for graphics/slide creation. Good to hear that you also see this as two critical areas to outsource. Since support questions are almost nonexistent, it's not an issue for me so far. Talk soon, Axel

AxelRittershaus · ‎03-14-2022

Exciting!

AxelRittershaus · ‎02-28-2022

Let me try a question @JasonDion ... Yes, I know, there is no try 😉 Anyway... Of all the tasks you delegated to your team, which is the one saving you the most time and energy - or you are the most grateful for not having to do it anymore? @TameraDion might also answer 😉

AxelRittershaus · ‎02-24-2022

Thanks @Bella I appreciate this improvement. It's a step in the right direction, even if I agree with @PhilEbiner and @ba0708 only being able to define coupons for the current month. For me it helps, since the coupons for loyal customers are defined and get re-defined in the middle of the month. Now I have 14 days to prepare them before they have to go live and this reduces the time pressure. Now I'm looking forward to multiple course coupon creation. I'm already struggling with 17 courses, and can handly imagine what it means to the folks with 100+ courses.

AxelRittershaus · ‎02-18-2022

Excellent, @Bella, a critical topic I'd like to gain more insights into. I won't be able to attend the live event, but I look forward to the recording! Enjoy the session 🙂

AxelRittershaus · ‎02-07-2022

Fantastic, @Suppoman™ , celebrate your achievement, your persistence, and your skills. Keep going. Keep growing 🙂

AxelRittershaus · ‎01-12-2022

Thanks for sharing @Rahul Iyer and congrats on your achievements. You are proof (again) that dedication, persistence, and long term thinking are key for success on Udemy (and many other areas of life). Keep on doing your great work!
