Udemy jobs

Udemy – is a platform where experts from around the world post their courses. Anyone with experience in a particular topic can record video lectures and prepare other material, put it into one program, and publish it on the site udemy.com and get money for selling it. The service also offers employment in different countries by publishing vacancies on its website. Having founded the company in Turkey in 2009, the team online schools Udemy has opened a main office in San Francisco and other cities in several countries.

Teaching

Everyone who wants to offer their course to Udemy students can record lectures themselves or use the company’s studio for that. Experts should prepare a plan, record video lectures and publish them on the website of the platform. When planning the program, the instructor should pay attention to such points:

• Choose a topic.
• Identify your audience.
• Find out the goals of users who are interested in the chosen topic.
• Select materials for the program, break them into sections and subtopics for lectures.
• Prepare practical assignments that will help consolidate the knowledge gained in theory.
• Write a script and basic talking points that will allow you to record a video without forgetting a single important moment.

Before publishing all lectures, the examiner should record a test video and submit it for review. This will allow him to be sure that the materials are of good quality and meet the requirements of the platform. The video should be of HD video quality (720p or 1080p) and landscape image orientation. It is important to use a quality camera, microphone and screencasting software (Quicktime Player, CamStudio or Jing) and lighting equipment to record the course.

Once enrolled, the administration recommends creating a course landing page (CLP). This is an opportunity to encourage students to enroll. If done correctly, it can also help make the program visible to search engines. Students decide whether to enroll based on 3 factors:

• Content on CLP.
• The cost of the course and the availability of discounts.
• Social proof (number of registrations and reviews).
• The information on the course landing page is the input to the creation process during the publication phase. It should include sections such as:
• Name up to 60 characters. It is important that it contains keywords.
• Subtitle. It gives a brief overview of what the program is about. The length is up to 120 characters. You should mention 3-4 important topics that you have covered.
• A description of at least 200 words. It should demonstrate what makes the course different from others.

• Basic information. These fields are important because they classify the offer on the platform. Select the language and proficiency level, category, and subcategory from those available. In the question “What is being taught?” specify a specific topic.
• Image. Add a picture to be used on the website, advertisements, and emails.
• Commercial. Create a short (less than 2 minutes) video that students can watch before deciding whether to buy access to the materials. It can be used as a marketing tool and posted on other sites.
• Instructor Profile. Instructor biography is important when students are comparing courses. Talk about yourself and include links to your social media accounts and add your photo.

The landing page has several additional fields that you can fill out:

• What you will learn. Describe what students will learn.
• Requirements. They should include everything you need to know or have in order to be trained.
• Who this training is for.

Choose videos of at least 10 minutes in length to preview. They will give a brief overview of what to expect in the course. To do this, in the Creation Designer, go to “Curriculum” and turn on “Free Preview” for any of the lectures. In the next step, it’s important to choose a price. You can offer the program at full price, at a discount, or for free. Some instructors run offers as free to attract subscribers, gather feedback, and then switch to the paid option.

Free courses cannot be longer than 2 hours, and you will lose all premium features for students, including a certificate of completion and the ability to ask questions. You can change the price at any time, but switching from free to paid is available only once. Paid courses have no time limit and cannot be offered for free anywhere else. If you want to charge a fee, you need to follow 2 steps:

• Become a premium instructor by applying for approval. This offer includes setting up your instructor profile, accepting Udemy’s terms of service, choosing whether you want to participate in promotional programs, and the payment method.
• Specify the price. It depends on the length of study, depth of content, experience, and reputation of the teacher.

You can also consider discounting your course to increase your sales. Udemy offers additional marketing programs that will offer courses at a discounted price during promotions. You can offer discounts to students by creating your own coupons and referral links. For experts, settings are available to automatically message students and include subtitles, which can also increase the interest of hearing impaired users and those who want to access the text of lectures for easy retrieval of information.

The platform’s website has a section for educators that features articles on course promotion. Experts can study 5 materials that describe such information in detail:

• Communication with students and feedback.
• Collecting feedback for ratings.
• The use of coupons and referral links.
• Promotion with the company’s marketing tools and other ways.
• The use of SEO and optimization of the landing page of the program.
