Assistance in starting course

[HarisIelts]

Hey guys, I'm extremely delighted and excited to have joined this platform...

Well, I'm an IELTS and OET trainer (British certified).

I wanna start my online paid course.  I really dont know what are the steps to be followed in order to kick start it professionally 

Is there anyone out there to assist in this regard... 

Thanks

@HarisIelts,

I've produced a very popular English Writing course on Udemy using Camtasia 2018 on Windows 10.  Note that Camtasia 2018 (2019 now) runs on both Windows and MacOS.

I use the Camtasia recorder to record my computer screen as I display Microsoft PowerPoint slides giving writing information follows by screencasts of my in the Microsoft Word editor writing.  I find this to be very effective.

Of course, audio is King around here, so you should set yourself up with at least a Blue Snowball microphone with popfilter ($49) to insure your audio is the best it can be.

Armed with my Blue Yeti microphone, Camtasia screen recorder and video editor and PowerPoint I've been able to release 44 Udemy courses for moderate (e.g. $1,800/mo) revenue.

Note that none of my courses to date include talking head which is apparently very popular with students -- I've only just begun experimenting with ontions including green screen.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have questions,

---Brian
