[DavidCarr875]

Hello everyone,

My name is David. I am British but I actually live in the Balkans. I am a retired lawyer and also a qualified English teacher.

I have been a Udemy customer as a student for a few years but now I would like to launch my own courses teaching English to non-native speakers. I specialise in business and legal English, financial and commercial English.

I am able to make my own videos but I have never made any for Udemy before so I am not sure how to start. Is there a standard form or an approval process? Any advice and guidance would be most welcomed.

[Jifry Issadeen]

Once you made your first video, you can test your video here. They care more about the audio quality. Make sure to use a proper mike and avoid background noise when recording. When it comes to the video, it's more of a personal preference. They will tell you if there are any improvements to be made. You can improve your videos based on the recommendations.

[DavidCarr875]

Thanks for the very helpful input.

We also have a Portuguese community if you'd like to engage with members who speak your native language. We also have monthly coffee chats where you can meet other Brazilian/Portuguese instructors via Zoom. 🙂

[RaquelCoelho]

Thank you @Bella ! Oh that is so cool re the Portugues Community. I will definitely link up! That is actually something I am a bit worried about: I indend on creating half of my courses in Portuguese and the other half in English, so I hope that does not confuse the system. Thank you for the encouragement and I hope you enjoy the podcast.

I look forward to exploring this community and learning from others!

• Who are you? Hi! I'm Robin DeCapua of Madison Modern Home, a home staging company
• Where are you from? We're based in the Los Angeles area
  
• What is your teaching area? We just discovered Udemy -- and we're just now beginning the process of building our first course in home staging for fun and profit
• Why did you join the Instructor Community? My daughter told me about Udemy and said we should look into it, as people always tell us they would love to learn how to do what we do!
• Tell us a fun fact about yourself! I started this home staging company in 2008 with my daughter and son-in-law in the middle of a global financial crisis. Everyone said I was crazy to leave a good-paying corporate job to basically jump off a cliff into the uncertainty of a small business. But it was one of the best decisions I've ever made!

[Ramesh Fadatare]

Welcome to the community @MadModHome, I hope you find everything you need and that you enjoy your experience!.

If you have any questions, you're welcome to ask me or the community anything!

[SantoshKumar2025]

Hi, My name is Santosh . I'm from India . In India I'm from Andhra Pradesh . I'm pursuing Graduation in Kurnool in Osmania Degree College Kurnool. In my college my instructors i.e., My Professors and my college staff instructed us and me also to do "2 months" internship in any academy. Then I have said that i am already taking ethical hacking course in UDEMY. They said good and said to get 2MONTHS course certificate from them the i said yeah sure ."SO IF YOU PROVIDE ME WITH THE 2MONTHS CERTIFICATE I'M SO GLAD TO YOU IF YOU GUYS GIVE ME THE 2MONTHS CERTIFICATE OF COURSE COMPLETING . I'M HOPING THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE ME WITH THE 2MONTHS CERTIFICATE."

[Bella]

Hi @SantoshKumar2025, welcome, this is the Udemy Instructor Community, but I'm happy to assist you here. The certificate of completion will only display the total length of the course you've enrolled in, so if your course lasts for less than 2 months, this information cannot be changed.

This article explains how you can download your certificate, after completing your course on a browser, and here is the tutorial to download your certificate on a mobile. 

Certificates of completion help demonstrate your accomplishments, but please note, Udemy is not an accredited institution. As a result, the certificates cannot be used for formal accreditation.

If you need further assistance, please contact our Student Support here. I hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Everyone - I'm a newbie on Udemy.

It's great to be part of the community. 😁

I've just launched my first course on Digital Marketing and Ecommerce - a masterclass packed with knowledge from more than 10 years of experience working with global large, medium and small-sized companies. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts or any tips: https://www.udemy.com/course/digital-marketing-and-ecommerce-masterclass/?referralCode=343196AB3EAE5...

Also, @Bella when starting as a Premium Instructor, there was a challenge from Udemy: completing the first course within the first 12 weeks or so, would get some coverage on your social media accounts. Would you be able to help on how I could avail of this? As this is anew course, any coverage would be very beneficial. Thanks!

[Bella]

Hi @DominicAmariei, welcome to the community!

Congrats on launching your first course, that's a big step! 🚀 I'm very excited about your journey with us and for you to share your experience in the community.

It all depends on the student why they want to learn the language of the Philippines some for travel some reconnecting with families and some found love My teaching ways is not limited to aeiou but also I teach recipes because in my country we don't normally greet each other 'how are you?'  but instead 'have you eaten?' Time has no part of it  Eat what you want when you want.

• Why did you join the Instructor Community?  I always had that deep desire in teaching, but it never happened in my younger days. So during the pandemic  I thought I would give it a try and found myself teaching on a different platform but somehow something is missing. A community. So Tada here I am.

Hi everyone!

I'm Cameron. I'm an affiliate marketer and consultant currently living and working in Europe. I have 8 years of experience working across the US in tech companies and for different agencies. I have developed a unique skillset as a marketer and technologist.

I recently created a course on "Outbound prospecting" where I teach about using Email and LinkedIn to connect with new prospects and open up sales conversations. (will probably do a revision of it soon).

I plan on releasing a lot more courses on affiliate marketing and I would love to connect with other creators here. (I'd also love to get an idea of your earnings on Udemy as I'm just getting started on here)

I'm working on building up an affiliate marketing business and am passionate about online business, entrepreneurship, and tech.
