Questions about creating courses on Udemy

[RodMunch]

I created my first 2 courses on Udemy a few months ago. One has a fairly decent rating of around 4.4. The other has a very bad rating of 2.1. I'm concerned that the latter would cause people to not enroll in my former course.

Would it be a good idea to just delete the latter course, and create a new course based off of it but with much better videos, assignments, etc?


I'm also considering creating a new Udemy course. I already have developed the project using my own code. However, that code is partially based off code I got from someone else's blog. I made some changes to it, added some new features, and even wrote the code in a different programming language

If I create a course based on this project and code, I won't be violating any copyright laws or anything like that, right? I won't run into any legal trouble for this, as long as I mention in the description that I used some of the code from that other person's blog? I emailed that person asking for their license, but I haven't heard anything back

The problem with Udemy is that you can't delete a course if you have students enrolled in it. You can only unpublish it. I'd ask Udemy if you can create a new course with the same content as the old one but with better videos, assignments, etc.

I think you should change the second one. Because of bad feedback. Is this possible to modify?

I'm planning on doing a few courses on Udemy too. Then once income starts have you considered hosting the course yourself so Udemy doesn't get a cut or would the marketing needed make it a useless venture?

I'd say either unpublish it or try and fix the problems.
