Merci @LeonorCollor

Hi @ElizabethDj0021 - congratulations on publishing your first course. My view is that is can be very course or genre specific. For example, I have 21 published courses (since Ap 2014). All my courses feature me in most but not all of the videos. I teach Shamanism, and my tribe likes seeing and engaging with me. They feel they know who I am, and once I have a student hooked, they purchase many of my courses.

Best of luck for your future @Bella - you have done a good job - not an easy job!

Raise the standards to publish - they were considerably higher in my first few years here on Udemy - the desperate move for more, more, more courses lowered the standards too far. Understand subscription models almost everywhere are struggling and you are literally confusing people and turning them away from the Marketplace and not necessarily maintaining their presence. Learn why your retention on Marketplace is so low student-wise. Given instructors like myself and many others have loyal students returning year after year for the quality courses we produce. Refocus on the broad church that is the Marketplace rather than the very limited algorithm that only rewards the highest sellers.

I have never opened the ones we have. Like @MichaelPog Michael I go the latest.

Enjoy your next step and thank you

My other thought just now @Jamie De Smit , is what is it called in the Americas - is it called PE. Using that might confuse people. You need a global slogan or name that is instantly recognisable.

Hi @Jamie De Smit - welcome fellow Aussie. The first thing I would do if I were you is to expand your Udemy bio - it is only one paragraph long. This is your opportunity to sell yourself and your qualifications as to why they should journey with and trust you. I looked at two lectures in your Biomechanics course. You present well and have good balance of face to face/ interesting graphics and video footage - well done. One quick win for students is to very early one give to give them an activity they than can do. I helps connect them to the course, the earning and you. For example after your intro to biomechs maybe have an assignment asking about why they are here on the course, do they have any injuries or areas they specifically wish to work on with either themselves or a friend. You don't have to ‘save them’ with your replies - it is to stimulate a deeper thinking from them. Have you started any social media? A Facebook group for example for all of your courses - if you have questions to get in you dont have to restrict it to student only. I have many sales from people curious but not ready to commit. Reviews - you are very light on for reviews. Are you sending out regular educational announcements? They are a great opportunity to thank students for their reviews and to ask them to keep them coming. We cannot prompt what type of review but we can ask for them. I scorn shot my top reviews of the week and add them to the bottom of the announcement- students love being recognised and thanked.

Is this the outline for your course @KristeaReca688 ?

SharonRamel · ‎08-19-2022

Welcome @Presentlifestyleidea a unique course that stands out and really gives the students what they are looking for is a great way to start!

SharonRamel · ‎08-10-2022

Hi @Jifry Issadeen every time you upload a new video, it will automatically create CC's for that video. It will only create for the new videos you have uploaded. Well done for correcting any errors - yes, it's very good - however, for the best experience for our students having it 100% is very useful for them.

SharonRamel · ‎08-10-2022

Hi @TonyaLaramee - I use DropBox for my video storage - it also has the advantage of integration with Udemy's Bulk Uploader.

SharonRamel · ‎07-14-2022

First complain to Udemy that their offical course isn’t working @Yukti9876 , Phil Ebiner has a free how to make a course - try that.

SharonRamel · ‎07-09-2022

Welcome @Yukti9876 . Here is the link https://www.udemy.com/course/official-udemy-create-course/?src=sac&kw=How+to+Create+an+Udemy+Course

SharonRamel · ‎06-30-2022

Some tips @Joshie is to ensure you are well prepared. Do your research on who are the top instructors in your genre. Practice everyday getting used to being in front of the camera - film yourself for 5 minutes and watch yourself afterwards. This way you will get used to seeing and hearing yourself. Ensure you enrol in and complete Udemy’s free how to create a course Look beyond Udemy with your genre, what are others doing in your field that makes them stand out? You want to create a course that stands out - thus being prepared helps overcome fear.

SharonRamel · ‎06-30-2022

Agree, although we can add this to our bio @ThomasMitchell Not too many do for obvious reasons.

Welcome to Udemy @Dr. Troy Walls

SharonRamel · ‎06-28-2022

Hi @niyaracu , I strongly suggest you enrol in Udemys free course creation course. This will give you all the tools you need to make a course. Welcome to Udemy and enjoy the journey.

SharonRamel · ‎06-27-2022

It all sounds very obtuse @Bella ….. you already have bestseller, new, highly rated etc. It would be far more beneficial to understand how and when the conversion to the subscription model is panning out. Every course NOT in UB is now at a distinct disadvantage with the large banner proclaiming Personal Plan proudly across the top. Those courses stand out far more than the bestseller tags for example. Misleading at best given it is exactly the same limited curated courses for UB. Not to mention students trying to buy a course are being lured into purchasing PP instead. Sudents asking me why my courses are not good enough to be in PP…… Sounds like an obscure plan to try and make us think something positive is happening when most are reporting their incoming is nose diving…..

SharonRamel · ‎06-05-2022

Welcome to Udemy @ErnestEnabu984 . That is the million-dollar question. Unless you bring an amazing course that genuinely stands out from your competitors you will not stand out and probably will make very few sales. The more courses in your category the harder it is. Study your competition - see if and where you can make a course that is "above the rest".

SharonRamel · ‎05-22-2022

Welcome @Hajra.K.Ahmed - I strongly recommend you enrol in Udemy's free how to make a course on Udemy. This will help you get started. https://www.udemy.com/course/official-udemy-create-course/

SharonRamel · ‎05-20-2022

The best time to publish is when you have brought forward the best unique course in your area @KanataCode . Chasing sales programmes on Udemy isn't a marketing strategy. It is not easy to get noticed in a crowded marketplace. Ensure you have a solid marketing strategy in place long before you hit publish to help you get started. Udemy have some great tips to assist you. Good luck.

SharonRamel · ‎05-14-2022

Enrol in and complete Udemys excellent how to create a course - it is free @JuliusAldave33

SharonRamel · ‎05-09-2022

Personally @Blogging Betty Boomer I would strongly advise you to add your face. Prospective students like to be able to put a face to the name. They like to feel they have a relationship with you. In you feel shy they spend 5 minutes every day filming yourself then watch yourself. In no time at all you will start to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

SharonRamel · ‎04-25-2022

Hi @PaulGBarker69 - very few read the lecture description. Links are live in a text lecture/ Plus so long as it is directing people to relevant free content you can add its URL into the resources section with a relevant title. If people are interested they will search!

SharonRamel · ‎04-24-2022

Hi @PaulGBarker69 - I have had a few guest lecturers along the way. They always put their name/business name and website on the intro or outro of their guest lecture. Plus any PDF's or resources they provide for free can also link people to other free relevant help that they have for them in my area of teaching.

SharonRamel · ‎04-20-2022

Hello @Miheeka_Bhasin may I offer you some advice based on watching your promotional video? - You should edit it more as we see you clicking away to begin the recording. - Create an exciting picture to introduce your video rather than straight to you. Canva is free to use for example. - You mention many examples of how you are going to make the course exciting - either bullet point this so it reinforces what you are saying or edit in some of the ways you are going to do this. These few simple tips will create a more professional engaging promotional video. Good luck with your endeavour - it is exciting to see young professionals here on Udemy

SharonRamel · ‎04-05-2022

You need to ask Udemy T&C @CAD_Mentor - personally I do not think it would be a problem as it is simply another method to connect

SharonRamel · ‎03-23-2022

Hi @LindaClucas - welcome - here are a few thoughts - then use your sub-title to expand what they will learn. Good luck - this is a long term proposition - I am delighted to see you realise this.

Hello @Sensei Lopez if you enrol is and complete Udemys excellent course creation courses your questions will be answered. There are also other free courses on course creation from some of our top instructors - I suggest you complete at least one of them to complete the official courses by Udemy.
