@@orchidelsayed8639 Then it's updated again. I remember for one of my courses, they gave me a warning for having my Instagram ID on the video watermark.
I reviewed your Udemy CRASH course on Power Automate and within one minute appreciated what you had created. Then I came here and started this video. My impression from both is that you are someone who is interested in giving to and educating others. Because of that the money will come. Wishing you the greatest success.
Should add I purchased two of your courses. My small contribution to hopefully bringing you a little bit closer to being able to create courses full-time.
Hy Alireza, I must say this tutorial was really well done, specific & to the point. Made me aware of the pitfalls that can occur when creating a course. Thank U very much for all the advice..
@@AlirezaAliabadi I just came across a thought to create online course related to IT field. Could you please explain which platform is good to start with in today's date like Udemy, Coursera or Pluralsight? Or if any other site.
This video is a gold mine A lot of valuable information. There aren't a lot of videos attracting attention to such important points to consider. God bless you Sir. Wish you all the best.
Just a little observation... I could live from my Udemy income alone but it isn't a good idea. Remember they changed the profit share? You don't have control of the platform and another course could come and supercede your bestseller. Also, at the moment we are still in that COVID bubble within creased demand for courses but that isn't certain to last. I'm very grateful for the money I make in there but your eggs have to be in multiple baskets.
That was interesting to learn more about how Udemy actually works. Thanks Ali. I’m wondering how did you come up with idea to shed a light on this. Was there a demand? For me the key takeaway is about mastering the subject you are going to teach other. I believe many ignores this and hence the reason why there are thousands of low quality courses on udemy.
There is a lot into it. Creating and teaching courses takes a lot of planning, so you have to spend time and effort and master it; then you need to spend a lot more time to plan the course delivery. The biggest thing that I learned on Udemy is not to follow the trend. Rushing something to the training market immature even if it sells in the beginning, it does not last and a few months later, others will take it away from you with better quality. Many times I thought about stopping my full-time job and work on course creation full-time. The reality is that, it is not possible. I need time to think about the idea and redesign the course a few times to come up with something that deserves the highest rated badge. To me the biggest takeaway is that, you have ONLY ONE SHOT. Fire it when you are 110 percent sure you hit your target.
@@AlirezaAliabadi Thanks, Alireza. It really gives me a great insight on the course delivery. I also agree that rushing does not give us any good feel. Good inspiration!
Amazing video before uploading my 2 courses on Udemy! My laval microphone cought some background noise whixh sounds like A/C ( i have no A/C at home) and I used AI supported audio cleaner and it worked amazing!
Equipment saves time. With my current workload, I'd rather spend the money on premium equipment that gives me acceptable quality right out of the camera or screen recording, than spending time on AI or premier pro to clear the noise or leveling audio. If you can afford time to fix the issues, post recording; then why not.
@@AlirezaAliabadi thank you for the reply! I cannot agree more and that is why good quality equipment will be my next purchase. I'm uploading my first course on Udemy while typing this:)
In your first 7 minutes of video you have given insights worth a 1000 dollars. You have given a value that many paid courses on - How to Udemy? don't give. Thanks Man
Very nice presentation and content quality. Two questions: 1) Which USB lavalier mic do you recommend? 2) My course is fully outlined and all the episodes voice over copy is written. I lean strongly to the presentation style of storytelling with my voice as narrator under full motion video clips and background music. I do not see many people on Udemy doing this. Perhaps it is too much work?
Best regards from Croatia! "I really like your presentation style and the very excellent, concise way of teaching. I have over 30 years of experience in teaching, school principal and a PhD in pedagogy, but I rarely see such a good teaching style. Congratulations! Could you please inform me: Does Udemy require exclusive collaboration only on the Udemy platform, or can authors sell their works on other providers?"
Thank you for your kind words. You can sell your course everywhere but once you present it somewhere else, it does not qualify under Udemy for business.
@@AlirezaAliabadi "Do you think Udemy for Business is a lucrative source of income (provided the lectures are of quality) and is it good to focus solely on collaborating with the Udemy platform?"
Hi Alireza, Thank you once again for your informative video clip. May I suggest that you make a new one on the technology needed for creating a Udemy course such as the best camera and mic to use, what software is needed, how to add slides to the presentation and how to sync the audio with the video if one is using an external mic. This will help the newcomers to Udemy platform a lot which can also be used on other platforms such as RU-vid and will guide them through step by step during the creation of their training course. Thank you in advance for your help.
Equipment is important but not in the way you may think. It is an important distraction from the content quality. For a long time I recorded my courses with my cellphone an those courses made me a significant money. Now I film my videos with a basic mirrorless camera, two cheap studio lights and a Rode micro microphone and I don't recommend them to anyone. Use your phone for video and any cheap Microphone on Amazon is good enough. If you have echo in your room just hang a few moving blankets on the walls. That's all. Spend your time on the content and how you want to deliver. That's your selling point on Udemy, not the equipment.
WOw, Thank you so much, I am trying to invest a lot of my time on Udemy, I was trying to invest a month, But now I have to invest 2-3 Months on my first course. Thank you again.
I've never paid for a single tutorial video on Udemy or Lynda...and I still get the same education as everyone else. The web is full of free info ..just need to look harder.
I have a weird problem. I know the course which I want to create is something which everyone on the internet is looking for, but not searching on Udemy. So, there is absolutely no metric to show. Does that still mean that I don't have potential of it taking off in the future?
Excellent info - really useful. Ive got several courses planned for Udemy - you stopped me rushing in too fast. Got Lav clip on mic - seems good - iPhone seems better than Brio for video (DOH). Editing software is the issue - it's not my go-to skill so must be simple - just how good does the editing need to be? Best for simple software? (My courses will be physical and movement based versus desk) iMove seems good but guess is limited... appreciate any input
Gordon, I have not the certified experience but I think the key is a good filming (lights considered), than iMovie or any other simple software-app shall do just fine.
as another commenter said... Gold standard content video. I wasn't considering being a content creator for Udemy or even RU-vid, simply doing some general research into learning platforms, however from this video you have given me some serious food for thought. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for this usufal vedio I have a question The youtube channel in the first time has no audince so how can i test my vedio on new youtube channel i think there is not easy . And i have another question Is there a rules on Udemy To verify the identity of the instructor or i can choose any name i want ? Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for putting so much valuable information in the video. really happy and impressed. Want o learn more on teaching on udemy, The Laptop I shall be using... other equipments. I wnat to ask one question. As i receive a lot of emails from Udemy course creators to buy the courses at discount price. So Does udemy allow to own the email addresses..??
Hi thank you for your great video. I’m new to RU-vid and watching some income avenue for my Jewelry business and I met your video. I love to make some crafts teaching video. But as you said in the video be successful at RU-vid first, should I wait my RU-vid to be growing to make Udemy courses ? My video will be more important in screen than voice I think, but still need to investment when I make courses ?
Thanks for the video, what if I have an idea of a course which is not in the udemy marketplace, because it is a really specific niche of for example the music topic, referencing a particular type of musical instrument or hardware ? Is that even allowed to do it, is it worth to invest time and money in that ?
If you opt in for Udemy business subscription model you can't upload your course on other competitive sites except your own one. Your kind opinion please? Thank you
Thank you so much Sir for guiding us all. But I want to know further, can I sell my course on my personal App platform or on any other platform? Please guide..
With Udemy you have to make up your mind. As soon as you start sharing your content on other platforms, that course does not qualify for Udemy for business.
AliReza, Please give me your honest opeinion as a Udemy expert: The topic I am experienced in and willing to make course about is so specialized that I can't find it in the marketplace insight, but from my industry I know that there is real demand maybe not online, does that mean it might be a market gap that nobody as ever covered ? or ther is no online demand, or Udemy will create the demand?
None of above. Udemy is not an option for you. Udemy is good at marketing things that they have a context. Otherwise your course (no matter how good) sits there and barely generates revenue until one day it mat catch fire and start selling. For me Udemy is my main source of income. I don't gamble on topics like this.
