Hi @WilliamStewart, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I just stumbled upon your message recently. Our monthly coffee chat is primarily a space for instructors to connect and share their expertise, so we don't typically address questions during these sessions. However, we had a post here about SEO and course descriptions where I shared insights from our internal team in August last year. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Such stories are much needed to provide light and hope to others. I really feel happy for you Rahul and wish luck for a bright future.

My question would primarily be around Marketing. How did Rahul go about marketing to grow his students to almost 200,000 in terms of marketing?

Highly appreciated, thank you for sharing all these production quality enhancement clues -- very, very helpful and insightful. I wish you guys more success. Thank you very much. I will share mine too when it's a bit presentable for insight.😊

@KatieBent thank you so much for your response and looking further into it. I want to bring up the other thing @Bella mentioned which to me is a much greater concern, now that I re-read it: "Trial consumption isn’t currently counted towards Personal Plan payouts whether or not someone goes on to subscribe" So if I read this correctly, If I am the reason someone subscribes, and as part of the first 7 days, they watch my courses, love them so much that they decide to pay for them by NOT canceling the subscription, I get nothing. This makes absolutely no sense to me at all. I can totally see the reasoning behind excluding consumption from non-paying students. But these are paying students. They pay by keeping their subscription, which pays for the full month including the first 7 days which are part of a trial. This is the absolute opposite of rewarding us for helping Udemy get subscribers. Even if I'm not the one driving the traffic, if after my courses are consumed the student keeps the subscription, the minimum we should get is compensation for those minutes.

Dear Frank, thank you so much for sharing this information, instructors like you tells me that its possible to reach any feet in this platform through hard work and consistency. God bless you and the family.

Hi @Bella Sure thing. I will wait

@Bella Thank you! 🙂

Here and waiting for your questions 🙂 Fire away!

Hi @SebiGloeckner We understand your frustration. The pilot version of the Udemy Instructor Partner Program is being offered in English at this time, though we have instructors from across our language markets who applied and are part of the program. We will be reopening applications to the Instructor Partner Program in May and invite you to apply at that time. We are also hoping to expand our programming to new language markets in 2022.We are opening up our call for International Community Champions this month and you are welcome to apply. Please stay tuned to the upcoming announcements. Eliana Cerna Udemy Community Moderator

Hi @ThomasMitchell we have confirmed that we've experienced a delay and the revenue report update has not yet been rolled out to all instructors but we will share an ETA as soon as we can.

Joshua George · ‎12-16-2021

Great to meet you too @Rahul Iyer🙂

Bella · ‎11-22-2021

What a beautiful story @LeeKhoza, thanks for sharing and for choosing Udemy to help you share your knowledge with the world. Wishing you all the best! 😊

I've had a reply about the blog - this may be useful to everyone: "Thank you for your interest in participating in the Udemy Blog Contributors Program! We are currently not creating content that would be a match for your course portfolio, but we will keep your profile in mind should we expand our content needs." My course portfolio includes courses on: Leadership Management Business Economics Scriptwriting Death, Grief and Healing Art Therapy Positive psychology Fitness General health Strokes/heart attacks Stress management Global economics Sociology Politics

Art_by_Benjamin · ‎11-08-2021

I do agree with @JeffSharman592 and @DanieldelRío442 about this. I do also think the 30 day money back guarantee is too long. I've seen more online classes moving to a 14 day or even 7 day period. Personally I'm fine with a 7 day period. I don't get a lot of refunds, but do also noticed that some of them are really suspicious. Someone does buy multiply classes, watches all of them partly and then asks for a refund. I think Daniel has a really good point here on what might be going on. @debra1111 I also buy at sales only, but always look at it briefly if I like it or not. I'm not sure if going back to 14 days would really impact any buying habits. 30 days is great, but seems to be abused a lot for some.

Francisoji048 · ‎08-30-2021

Thanks Bella.lam expecting answers to my questions from the the house.best regards.

Bella · ‎08-11-2021

Thank you for your understanding, Luigi. Updating the content regularly is crucial for improving our search engine ranking and therefore increasing the chances of the course's success in the platform. But you're correct: updating your course every 6 months is not a requirement. Courses will only be flagged if they haven't historically had significant enrollments, little to no student or instructor engagement for some time, and the course landing page doesn't follow SEO best practices (all these three criteria). Thank you for your feedback in regards to the updates we share. I agree that being able to subscribe to our Help Center would be a great idea and I'll make sure to share this with the rest of our team. As always, we're here if you have any further questions or concerns. All the best! Bella Almeida Udemy Community

Bella · ‎07-20-2021

Hi @DanielEvans, I'm sorry for the delay, but I am more than happy to share a screenshot with you! For students included in one of the variants that will see the Personal Plan pilot, the course landing page will be the primary place that students will see the option to subscribe. There will also be a “Home Page” for the subscription which students will find when they click “Learn More.” If a student who is included in one of the variants navigates to a landing page of a course that is included in the subscription collection, they will see the option to subscribe in the call to action under the course image.

Definitely not getting any technical issues related questions now. I also tried it as a student, this features makes sense now.

EshantGarg · ‎06-05-2021

@Bella @LawrenceMMiller @Abbie This is regarding "Try it for 7 days" option we have in the personal plan. If a student didn't continue to a paid plan after 7 days, will those minutes still be counted in the total minutes' pool? And if a student continues with the paid plan after 7 days, will the minutes consumed in the first free 7 days will be counted in the total minutes pool?

MinervaSingh66 · ‎01-02-2021

Thanks. I will contact them again

SaiAcuityIn756 · ‎09-26-2020

@KatieBent , I saw udemy ads on Youtube-India in Hindi & English, if possible do update the ad link in here, must say the ads were superb!
