How Should I start a course for the first time

[NickolasInd234]

Hi my name is Nickolas and I have just started Udemy and it is so awesome looking although I am overwhelmed by all the stuff to start the course! 

Does anyone have any tips or personal experiences on creating a course for the first time?

I begin by creating the sections and titles. That gives me structure to begin scripts. Start by first filming what excites you the most.

Hi @NickolasInd234 Welcome to the community!  Our minimum requirement for a course is that it contains at least 30 minutes of video content contained within at least 5 lectures. This section includes extensive resources on how you can create a Udemy course and get started.

We have a lot of great content to help you create an awesome course. Here are just a few of our most popular posts:

• How to gain potential students before you publish
• Instructor Attitudes, Myths, and Misconceptions
• Sharing this milestone and what I learned along the way

And here’s a great roundup of free & paid resources and a compilation of top posts on creating your course.

I hope that helps!

Thankyou for those great resources! 

I noticed when I was building section the first one says section 1 and than when I make a second section it says unpublished section.

How do I make it not say unpublished section?
