Let's jump into today's topic without any further ado. If you're an online course creator who publishes courses on Udemy, this video is for you. Today, I'll be talking all about how to create a Udemy course. Before we get into the step-by-step method to create the Udemy course, let's talk a little about the platform. Online Learning Economy and Udemy Platform Online learning is a thriving activity, mostly driven by online courses. It not only works for online learners, but is also a way to make passive income for course creators. There's quite a range of marketplaces for selling online courses, but Udemy is the largest platform. As of May 2022, Udemy has more than 52 million students, 196,000 courses, and 68,000 tutors teaching courses in over 75 languages. This produces a lot of opportunities, revenue-wise, and explains why Udemy continues to thrive in the industry. If you're interested in joining this passive income method, then keep watching to see the step-by-step guide on how to create a Udemy course with the right tools. Step-by-step guide on how to create a Udemy course The first step is to decide what your course will be about. Well, it may seem like an obvious one, but it goes beyond saying, okay, I'll create a course on video editing. You need to match your expertise and course idea with the level of demand, while paying attention to your competitors. For this, you can use Udemy Marketplace Insights tool to identify your audience, map out goals, find keywords to rank for, and understand the competition. The next step is to set up the groundwork. Setting up the groundwork There are a few pointers to help you lay out the foundation. If it's your first course, it's advisable to keep the content length between 4 to 6 hours. Keep each video 2 to 10 minutes long. You can make them longer, just try to keep things short and crisp. It's better if you script your content. However, if you're an experienced pro and prefer going off the cuff, just create bullet points in the presentation. Now, one of the most important parts is to decide how you want to visually present your content. You can make slides, screencasts, just appear yourself like I am now, or combine all of these together. The best approach is to combine them all, and for that, you can use a screencasting tool like Democreator. Filming your course video with Democreator Wondershare Democreator is one of the most popular screen recorders for its versatile use and valuable features. Let's take a look at the step-by-step method to record your Udemy course video with Democreator. First off, make sure you've got Democreator installed on your computer. I'll drop the link in the description so you can download it if you haven't already. I assume you have done the groundwork and your slides and script are ready. Open Democreator and select one of the recording modes. As we need to film a video where you'll be using your slides while you explain everything, we need to embed your facecam video. To do that, choose to start a new demo project where you can set everything according to your needs. Now, copy your slides and add the clipboard on the left side panel of the screen. Webcam and microphone recordings are added to the screen recording by default. You can either change the input camera and microphone or disable them. To do so, use the webcam and microphone icons right next to the clipboard menu. Once everything is set, you can hit the demo and record button to start recording the screen with your webcam video. The recording starts after a countdown of three seconds. Once you're done with your first course video, hit the stop button to stop recording. The video will then open automatically in the video editor where you can polish the video. Polishing your course video with Democreator's editor. Democreator's built-in editor offers a variety of editing tools to add more clarity to the course content and video, making the subject easier to understand. When the video is in editor, you can explore and apply its various editing tools such as effects, transitions, annotation, captions, stickers, filters, and more. Uploading your videos to Udemy After editing your videos, it's time to upload them on Udemy. You can use Udemy's bulk uploader to get everything up at a go. Go to Udemy and create an account. After you're logged into your profile, click on Teach on Udemy. On the next page, click Become an Instructor and answer all questions. Click Create your course on the next page and fill out the forms. After adding the title, you'll move on to a new page. Hit the Create your content button to upload your videos. To upload your videos at once, click on Udemy's bulk uploader button. Familiarize yourself with the environment to see how it looks and works before actually uploading your content. Creating your course landing page After uploading your videos, you need to create your course landing page. It plays an important role in your success on Udemy because this is where your potential students get to know about your course and you. Course title, subtitle, description, course image, preview video, and instructor profile are the most attention-worthy components. You need to write a concise, catchy, and realistic title. See how top performing courses have written their titles. Next, you need to write a brief description of the course in the subtitle with your target keyword in use. Moving to the description, make sure it's detailed and give a complete knowledge of what students will be getting out of it. The course image is simply a thumbnail of your course and the preview video could be an intro video to your course. Instructor profile is where you have a chance to really sell yourself, not just to brag about your experience and accomplishments, but also tell them the value you provide as an instructor. Submit for review. After doing all of these steps and ensuring nothing is left, hit submit for review. Once you submit your course, Udemy's team reviews the submission. You'll be notified whether your submission is approved or if there's any changes that need to be made. And that's all for today's video.
