Hi @LawrenceMMiller, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I completely agree that certain cases are out of the community's scope. I would like to inform you that our Trust and Safety team already takes measures to ban users from the community when they are banned from the platform. However, in some situations, instructors might have different email addresses in the community, and in these cases, it is possible for them to post messages even after being banned from Udemy. As for your second suggestion, we agree that communication is key to avoiding these issues. Our Trust and Safety team works diligently to ensure that our policies and guidelines are followed, and we will continue to make improvements to our messaging to ensure that banned instructors receive clear information about Udemy's policies. We always encourage banned instructors to contact policy@udemy.com if they have any concerns or need further clarification about their ban. Our policy team is more than happy to assist them and provide any additional information they might need. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. As always, we appreciate your support in making our community a safe and positive environment.

No, but you can send out an educational announcement to let them know what changed and how it might affect their learning.

Hi Ola @OlaFranklin100 First allow me to welcome you to the instructors community and provide an answer to the three questions you asked. 1. The kind of course you can create is a course that you have a great deal of expertise in and a great passion to teach it even to one student. 2. Try to find how much interest is there for your course topic by learners as suggested on Udemy section on course analytics. https://www.udemy.com/instructor/marketplace-insights/ 3. Learns will watch your course if they discover a genuine expertise, a passion and possible answers to their nagging questions on that particular subject. If this happens, your continous efforts will be to keep engaging your learners, keep motivating them, keep yourself, in every lecture, a little a new in your teaching styles, voice, dress, movement, your lecture is your mini Hollywood movie, and you are the director, the main character and hopefully the hero that will solve the nagging problems of your learners. You wrote "I need a very sincere opinion ...", I did my best here to oblige. Best regards,

Hi MelissaEEEE, I've just submitted my course for review. Waiting for feedbacks from Udemy. Good luck to you!

Sunny dimalu · ‎04-01-2023

hello bro, do you get sales from promotional emails when you launch a new course . and for me february was the worst month and march was decent.

Hi, I have a YouTube channel about videomaking and GoPro tutorials. So i made a course about the last model of GoPro (in Italian). I'll share the link in all my previous GoPro videos and i'll talk about this course in the next videos. So i'll make also a blog post about this new course and i'll create a good landing page that i would like to sponsor. The BIGGEST problem form me are the discounts. Infact if i share with my community now the course they'll pay 44.99€ (and for me is a low price for the time and the effort that i spent on it) but maybe in 1/2 weeks it will go down to 14.99€ as the other Udemy courses. So, I'm waiting the approval of the course, then i'll wait the discount to 14.99€ (or similar) to launch it on my social/website. At that point i think it's ok that the first people will pay less, than the price will go up again and then down and so on. I think that this is a good opportunity for the standard Udemy users that knows these discounts. But for a normal community outside Udemy i think that it's a bad thing. I expect a lot of complaining 😅 So i was thinking to remove my course from the Udemy deals, but i think that i can do a lot of sales with a discounted price...so...i'll see. P.S. i just saw that there is a 11,99€ discount for 2 days now 😂

Bravo. Nodding my head on every point you raised.

I asked to udemy team via chat by sending a screenshot as shown below. And they said it is fine to do so.

RaquelCoelho · ‎03-16-2023

I quite like my microphone. It's portable and has very clear sound, with pop prevention integrated. I have a Rode NT usb mini

FrankKane · ‎03-13-2023

That's right - make them a co-instructor, but with everything but Q&A permissions disabled. You can even give them a percentage of your revenue as payment that way, if you wish, freeing you from the task of paying them, sending them tax forms, etc. Be sure to set clear expectations up front about their turnaround time, how they will identify unanswered questions, when to escalate to you, how to handle when they need to take time off for a vacation or something, etc.

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.

AhmedMagdyMohamed · ‎02-17-2023

@MaclayAcademy23 it is a common issue their algorithm is so brilliant. Only one 1-star rating can ruin your entire course's rating even stupid sellers wont do this to themselves. our courses are the source of income to udemy if they wont correct that, on long run all courses will be low rated and no student will buy a low rated course. Enjoy it Udemy!

Ahmad.Elhajjar · ‎02-08-2023

Well explained.

MailessChab740 · ‎01-28-2023

Congratulations to our new CEO. Udemy is where my heart is at.

Thor · ‎01-15-2023

Honestly I would go for your voice and maybe work on your accent, I did that over the years and now I rarely get "I can't understand Thor" reviews, when I started 4 years ago they were semi frequent. AI voices are not allowed and if you pay a voice actor you need to remember they are now your brand, that is what students expect, meaning what if they stop working as voice actors or anything else happens, you now lost your brand.

CoursesSubconsciously · ‎12-19-2022

Sorry to ask again, but what istockphoto.com license do I need to purchase to use my photos in my Udemy course? How much did you pay for one photo? I'm going to need a lot of pictures and I'm wondering if I can even afford them.

CoursesSubconsciously · ‎12-19-2022

What license on istockphoto.com is required for Udemy courses, standard or extended?

MailessChab740 · ‎11-20-2022

Thank you very much

RyanJaress · ‎11-03-2022

Hey there everyone! The original post has been edited. The previous statement the Price Tier Matrix was updated was inaccurate. Sorry about that! Sincerely, Ryan

FrankKane · ‎09-18-2022

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. What you publish should at least cover what you say it will in the course description and title. Publishing an incomplete course will leave students feeling like they didn't get what they paid for, and will only lead to poor reviews, refunds, and poor sales. Also keep in mind what competing courses are covering in the same topic. If you don't have content that is competitive with established courses, students will have no reason to choose your course instead.

FrankKane · ‎09-17-2022

Every day you postpone releasing a course is a day of lost sales, and missed opportunities to help people learn important skills. The best month to release is the month when you're done.

MichaelPog · ‎08-31-2022

Hi @ChrystieV I just checked and it looks like now it is fixed. All my courses are showing up in the daily report. However, I don't see the number of total students in the daily report as we used to in the old system. It's not a huge deal but it is a degradation in terms of what we get from the report, after Udemy's migration to the new system. Is your team aware of it and will it be addressed? It was nice to have that in the report. Thank you!

RoyChambers395 · ‎08-27-2022

Passion and enthusiasm can be an underrated skillset. Being passionate about teaching and helping others to learn causes students to pay attention and take you more seriously as an instructor. Enthusiasm pushes students through the process they face when learning a new subject.🎯 There's more but ive got a course to compete😁 so I'll keep it short.. Intangibles 💪💪

RobertPetras · ‎08-01-2022

Thank you @Bella !

SivakamiS2017 · ‎07-27-2022

Very nice 👍 Feels good to know that I am now a part of something, that is not just about making stockholders richer, but also about improving the lives of so many, including the underprivileged !

Blogging Betty Boomer · ‎07-27-2022

Wow, these are great motivational points. I recently uploaded my first course, and although only 1 registrant I have begun to analyze everything from the intro video to the title keywords. Just the process of doing that PLUS working on the next course has helped to push out the negative thoughts and replace with the fact that I AM IN MOTION! THANKS AGAIN!

PhillipBurton · ‎07-21-2022

Do it regularly. You define what “regularly” means. If you going to do it once every 2 weeks, fine. Once a week? Fine. Twice a week? Fine. whatever you choose to do, commit to it. Make sure it is doable for you. Phillip

Hi Bella, YouTube mainly. Facebook private group, followed by Instagram and Twitter.
