Buddy, you are not telling the niche and related information to your content, which is fair enough.
But could you probably answer some of my questions; if not, then please write nothing or write "no comment":
- You focused more on the time and money you spent in your Journey, which could probably vary due to your previous knowledge about this topic or your editing skills:
- Question: Can you please tell me if this is feasible for "everyone" or if any particular "pre-requites" are required? I guess a UDEMY Business Account might be the bare minimum.
- Is it a faceless course, or do you somehow show yourself in those videos? I'm asking because I have a faceless YT-Channel; people said it would not work, but it did. I even have a voice.
- The most crucial part for me is "How do I get started?"
- Searching for a Niche is the initial step in creating a course
- Technical Requirements?
- Pre-requites?
- Software or Accounts that are needed to get started?
- I'm very interested in learning and teaching - it's nice that people like you show their path.
- I guess the visibility improvement in terms of SEO will follow afterward.
But for now, I'm happy to be part of this Journey from the beginning.
It would be pretty nice if you could give a bit more context.
It is kind of like "Day 0."
Thank you so much, very helpful!
Best of luck!
Your algood man. Your questions are all okay. I'll answer them best I can. Currently on my phone.
1. Technically anyone can do this. You will need a computer and internet. The reason I focused on time alot of because that is the only real cost involved...Your time. What that is worth to you, is your choice.
There are no pre-requisites but it is best you find a topic you can actually talk about or do. For example people here might know about SEO, or Organic marketing. That is something they can make courses on because they know the industry.
If you don't have a skill, industry knowledge, then get some. Learn something then teach it.
You'll setup a udemy account (free), you need to be able to get paid. PayPal or Payoneer.
2. My courses are not faceless, I have my face and voice. You can do faceless if you want, I believe it will still work just like youtube. I think when you are faceless, you have a little more barrier to getting their trust but that can be overcome.
3. How to get started. Honestly you just need to do it. Find a skill you can teach. Then look into the niche, find a niche within the niche that isn't saturated. Once you have decided, on your niche, go to ChatGPT and ask it to help build a course for it.
Remove some of the junk it adds, pull out the good stuff. Have maybe 15-25 lectures on one course.
Now that you have that, do it. Like I said just start doing it. Go on your computer, hit record using what ever built in recording software you have on your device and create the content.
Upload it all onto Udemy, use ChatGPT to help with written content. Make sure it is keyword rich for your niche.
Use canva to make the thumbnails. Do this all within 3-5 hours. Do not stop, just finish it. Your course does not need to be perfect, you just need to get your first course released.
Once you have released your first course, learn from what you did, what went well, what didn't, then make another, and another. Keep learning, updating, and keeping yourself up to date on niches within the niches.
It would be good to look at competitors in your niche, see what they do right, don't blindly copy, just learn from them and implement it uniquely into yours.
5. SEO, not just google. All search engines including Udemys should always be on your mind. Think how people search in your niche. Common terms etc.
Most of all, have fun. Don't take everything seriously. Enjoy the ride.
