My Udemy Publishing experience — First Course
After a long time I wanted to experiment Udemy Publications.
So i went ahead and published my course and wanted to share my experience as it is towards a larger audience.
First Hurdle. What topic to choose?
I think this is the most tricky part.
Initially i wanted to publish a course in knowledge graph and interpretable AI, but when i search the topic knowledge graph it seems no body cared about it.
Think Now. What to do now?
off-course fall back to deep learning or reinforcement learning emergent behaviour kind of cool stuff.
When i search deep learning reinforcement learning i see 10000+ courses in deep learning, so i think every common topic in deep learning/reinforcement learning is covered.
Now what? What if i put some topic based on my industry experience used heavily in industry?
The problem is people will not search for some cool stuff which are used in industry example “Non parametric Instance Level Discrimination”, until unless they know about it from some other forum. :)
What i Did Finally:
I extracted my long AI career experience and searched for very niche deep learning skills and created a course on Deep Learning with Computer vision.
I keep adding stuff and new skills and keep changing the title.
Current name : Pytorch: Advanced Computer Vision (DL), PEARL, DeepFake ++
Currently in the process of Adding DeepFake and FaceSwap and GAN
What more can i do?
I created a free small course on pytorch, Introduction to Pytorch.
Wow i see lots of students now every day coming in :)
But the problem with free course is people dont even bother to watch free stuff or complete the course. :)
Lesson Learned
Udemy is not easy.
Before I publish next time i need to think hard — 4hr content — 45 hr of hard work including compute power
What I feel for any tech you want to put in Udemy you need to put A-Z probably, which is loads of work.
For first time 4 hours of content creation took me almost 3 month woking on average 30 min per day. which is almost 45 hours.
