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.

Really great information and its presented in a straightforward, well-organized way without any hype. Thank you.

[@EveWilliamsMusic]

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.

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!

[@AlirezaAliabadi]

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.

[@RideronthestormIreland]

@@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:)

[@sashawarchoon1989]

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.

[@AlirezaAliabadi]

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.

[@kathirvelanarumugam2236]

[@lifecraftingchannel]

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?

Hello Alireza Aliabadi, Thanks for video, which needed me to produce good course. Thanks again.

[@MKA-J1958]

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 KZbin and will guide them through step by step during the creation of their training course. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@AlirezaAliabadi]

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.

(My courses will be physical and movement based versus desk) iMove seems good but guess is limited... appreciate any input
