2. Highlight your valuable skills and talents

Before launching an online course on Udemy, you should take the time to discover your valuable skills. The hardest part is how you determine your talent and skill. I strongly believe that everyone has a unique talent for something.

For this reason, you should make a list of skills and talents that you think you are good at and be able to create value for others. For example, consider using the knowledge that you did learn in school or university. Those could be language skills, math skills, and data science skills just to name a few.

For those who have been in the workforce for a while,  I firmly believe they have the talents and knowledge to offer to others and help them to solve their own problem. Thus, it’s a win-win situation as you make a positive impact on other people’s lives, and be able to make money from home.

It seems too easy to talk, but hard to execute. It’s because students don’t trust a newcomer on Udemy due to their reputation, and their credibility. In this case, most instructors offer to provide Udemy free courses that allow them to gain teaching experience and receive better feedback.
