So this month is perfect for you to share your stories as an instructor and maybe learn from other’s experiences.

To kick things off, we’d love to hear from you.

So useful to get nice instructions and suggestions for growth of my courses. May i know  when exactly  Black Friday 2023 falls.

I love being an instructor and for the most part, the questions and comments students provide are good.  However;  the most unexpected that that I have experienced was a student asking me for assistance with a personal problem.

I started to realize that building an audience is the key to success. I'm learning now and putting in effort everyday to stack the deck!

Udemy's sign-up and sign problems were unexpected as most of my students complained to me about them.

For me is unexpected to discover, what a good publisher communitiy is here. Usually I use Udemy on Phone, and in the application I could miss a lot of news and things. The application is a little bit different.

When students meet you in the wild (real world).

I am a huge introvert. I am happy not seeing anyone other than my wife and dog for weeks.

So when people stop me on the street (a handful of times since 2017/2018?), and say "Hey, aren't you Thor?!?! I have listened to you sooo much, I feel like I know you.

It is a combination of super awesome and really awkward.

I understand it, I have the same things with instructors I watched/listened to for 100s of hours when I studied, it is still very weird.

Thank you for sharing, Thor. I can imagine that it must be feeling awesome and awkward at the same time. Did they ask for a selfie or an autograph? 😝

Truly rewarding and unexpected.

Personal letter from few students thanking me for the course provided, and how it has helped them in their professional career.

It really inspires me to provide good quality content,

Cheers.
