I used Camtasia for everything, but if the video has a content buzz or background noise, I will use Audacity to remove the noise from the entire video pretty quickly. The key is getting solid audio upfront rather than trying to fix everything in post-processing....at least if you want to save time 🙂

I'll play if and when you have time - https://www.udemy.com/user/bryan-krausen/ Thanks in advance. Enjoy your upcoming travel.

Welcome to Udemy. Most folks seem to default to using PowerPoint to create slides, but there are free alternatives as well, such as Google Slides. For recording your desktop, again, many options here from paid applications to free. Personally, I use Camtasia but many people use OBS which is a free and open source option. Most of them are going to require some upfront learning for both recording quality videos and then, of course, editing the video so it's ready to publish. Make sure to search on the forms as these have been discussed in many different threads, especially in the First-time course creation sub --> https://community.udemy.com/t5/First-time-course-creation/bd-p/Course_Creation Best of luck to you.

Awesome. Glad to help. I'd be super appreciative if you could mark my response as the solution (trying to get one more 🤣) I would recommend finding Facebook groups, Discord, Slack, LinkedIn, or other groups related to the topic of your content. Really just anywhere that you think your potential students would see your comments and find your work interesting. Start participating in those groups to showcase your expertise but be careful not to oversell yourself. Build credibility and then drop a coupon when somebody is looking for help on a topic that is covered in your content.

Under your Instructor page, click on Edit/Manage course, the same place where you add videos and modify the course. On the left, you'll find Promotions. You can create up to three coupons a month for each course on this page. Alternatively, you can use the Bulk Coupon creation tool if you have many courses here: https://www.udemy.com/instructor/multiple-coupons-creation/

You own the content that you create and upload to Udemy. You are free to use that content on any other site or sell the same course on any other platform. However, that changes a bit if you are creating content that is included in Udemy for Business. Once a course is added to U4B, the content should be exclusive to Udemy and not be available on any other site besides your own.

It's three per calendar month. So three for September, three for October....but the timeframes for the coupon can extend beyond the month. For example, if you create a 30-day coupon today, it'll be valid through Oct 27. It's the creation of the coupon that ends by the calendar month.

Yes, email instructorsupport@udemy.com and ask them to enable adaptive streaming. Unfortunately, this is the only way to enable higher-resolution videos at the moment.

Btkrausen · ‎09-06-2023

You can't...

Btkrausen · ‎07-08-2023

Within the section that you're working in, click the Add Curriculum Item at the bottom (green arrow) or if you want it between two existing items, click the + when hovering your mouse to the left between two items (red arrow).

Btkrausen · ‎07-05-2023

I use both Twitter and LinkedIn as an instructor. I get considerably more traction on LinkedIn than any other platform. That said, I've put way more effort into building a following there than anything else, with 12k+ followers and 5400 connections. Don't know if you consider YouTube social media, but I've been trying to post more videos and build my subscription there as well.

Btkrausen · ‎05-31-2023

You don't copy or upload somebody else's material at all. That's called plagiarism and will get you banned from Udemy. Create your own content. It's also highly unethical and frowned upon.

Btkrausen · ‎05-30-2023

I pay estimated taxes every quarter. Then I work with my tax professional to figure out where I stand for the year 🙂

Btkrausen · ‎05-24-2023

For sure. I had an "HD" webcam that I tried to use before but the new camera is 100x better and super clear and clean looking. I have an 18mm and a 30mm lens that I can use or a zoom lens but the 18mm is my go-to right now.

Btkrausen · ‎05-24-2023

Sony a6400 with Sigma lens for on-camera videos. Connected via Elgato Camlink 4k. Get comments all the time on Zoom about the amazing quality of my video. Upgraded audio last year to Shure SM7B through Elgato Wave XLR. Sounds amazing.

Btkrausen · ‎03-29-2023

No, you don't have to submit the course again. I've added a lot of content to existing courses and have never had to resubmit for approval.

Btkrausen · ‎03-25-2023

Because of Udemy's 30-day money-back guarantee, all payments are delayed for at least a month. Udemy only pays out once a month, and you can find the estimated payment day in your Revenue Report by hovering over your name in the top right when you are on the instructor page (I believe it shows as a student as well) For example, any courses sold in March would be paid out around May 8th.

Btkrausen · ‎03-22-2023

No, you cannot put a discount code in the course description. It's mentioned here under the Minimum Requirements to Pass our Quality Review Process - https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229232407-Course-Description-Quality-Standards It's also clearly outlined here as well: https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229605888-Coupons-Course-Referral-Links-Rules-and-Guidelines

I completely agree with this....not to prevent me from getting lower ratings, but to prevent all the accidental 1-2 star ratings. I've reached out to SO MANY STUDENTS about low ratings, and every single one of them responded that the rating was an accident (or they don't know how it happened), and they updated it.

Btkrausen · ‎10-11-2022

US-based Direct Deposit, and my payout is now in my account. I use PNC if that helps. I figured it would show up today and glad to see it now. Hoping everyone else gets resolved quickly.

Btkrausen · ‎10-10-2022

I haven't seen anything yet - a US-based instructor using direct deposit. That said, it usually takes an extra day for direct deposits so I'm not worried about it. Please don't forget that today is also somewhat of a holiday in the US, which is impacting financial systems and moving money around. Give it another day. Weekends and holidays usually delay any type of deposit. For example, I tried to move money to trade stocks today, and it wouldn't be processed for a few days when usually that money would have been immediately available to me to trade.
