Thoughts on Making a Udemy course about making slings.
Nov 11^th, 2020 at 12:56pm

I had some thoughts today, after a customer of mine reached out about a tutorial i had written a few years back. It was a tutorial on how i make a rockman sling, which i ended up turning into a pdf.

I was curious on what are the thoughts if someone would make a video tutorial and post it on Udemy? It would be a step by step video. I am just looking at thoughts and feedback on this idea. I have a udemy account, and have a couple of courses that i purchased. My gf took one and loved it. Mostly about hobbies we both like. So i am a bit familiar with it. I haven't ever seen this bought up on here before. But i think its something that could cater to people who learn better with video intstead of reading or looking at pictures . I have seen a video or 2 on YouTube, but from my experience it was a bit of a PITA, but thats how my brain works.
Thanks

Pretty much a video of me talking, and sitting down braiding and weaving a sling.

There are YouTube videos for that. I think there is definitely a place for some more involved video tutorials.

Reply #2 - Nov 11^th, 2020 at 3:36pm I was thinking for now to start off it would be a how to step by step on the 'rockman' style sling. Then in the future, or even never update it. I am not sure yet. But i agree with what you are saying about simple stuff

I’d say go for it... but look at other online learning platforms too. Udemy arbitrarily offers discounts that cut all of your profits. I would recommend Skill Share. More people will watch the course on a whim because they already paid for access to the courses, and then you use that publicity to drive traffic back to your sling shop.

That’s my $.02

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

Reply #6 - Nov 14^th, 2020 at 5:14pm Thanks everyone, i have heard the name skill share, but wasnt too sure of what it was. I do understand with its name to an extent, but if itslike Udemy. Then i am good. Really appreciate the input. Its gonna be something i look at doing on in the future
