------------------------------------
COPYRIGHT ISSUES:

Udemy has the legal right to delete any courses, because of copyright issues with any content.

"Udemy has been known to do this when there's been a copyright breach." as 饿死我了 bro said, and he is totally right.

But, this is a real issue for us, because we are losing some courses!


------------------------------------
WARNING TO AUTHORS:

Please be very careful when creating a course, verify that every resource you use has the appropriate right to be used. There are good courses about copyright in Udemy, Youtube and other webs.

Of course it is good to be inspired by other courses and books, but please do not copy the structure of another course and do not copy its contents! We have to be honest and create our own content and structure!

Recommended course:

And many free courses about copyright directly at Udemy, here:
https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?src=ukw&q=copyright&p=1&price=price-free


------------------------------------
SOLUTIONS TO LEARNERS:

1) He have to download some controversial but important courses, as a backup or mirror, before the courses be deleted!

2) If you really need a courses that was deleted, you can ask via PM to a sharer and maybe we can find a link to download that content. Because we respect the rights of the authors and we don't share downloaded courses; but if the course has copyright issues, that could be an exception! But that should be shared via PM.

New re-captcha issue:


---------- PROBLEM:

Sometimes we have to write re-captcha more than once, and that is a big pain.

ABOUT NEW UDEMY RULES:

Great instructions about the changes of rules at Udemy, written by i_Love_Knowledge bro:

Magic Button :

[quote='i_Love_Knowledge' pid='2937999' dateline='1577468405']


Udemy changed their coupon policy some time ago.


____
The short explanation:

Instructors are limited to the creation of 3 coupons per course each month.

The best coupon will only last for 3 days, so if you want a course you need to be faster now. If it's not unlimited for 3 days, then it's limited to the first 10 unique students who enroll. Anything beyond those two options means you'll have to pay for the course.



____
The long explanation:


There's 4 types of coupons on Udemy:


__
1. Free: 3-Day Unlimited:

Creates a limited-time offer that allows any number of students to enroll in your course for free.

Expires 3 days after creation.


__
2. Free: 30 Day Limited:

Creates a longer-lasting offer that allows 10 unique students to enroll in your course for free.

Expires after 10 redemptions or 31 days, whichever comes first.


__
3. Current best price:

Creates a limited-time offer for the current best price of your course.

For instructors in Udemy’s Deals Program, this is based on the lowest price Udemy would offer a given student in that market for your course at the time you create the coupon.

The price displayed in the coupon creation flow represents the coupon’s value in the main market for that currency; in other currencies and markets, it will be adjusted to match your course’s local best price.

Expires 5 days after creation.


__
4. Custom price:

Creates a longer-lasting offer for a price you pick from the range displayed.

For instructors in Udemy’s Deals Program, the lower bound of this range will be similar to (but not necessarily lower than) the price Udemy would offer a given student at the time you create the coupon.

Expires 31 days after creation.

Read more about these New Udemy Rules - By Patrick0, 饿死我了, i_Love_Knowledge and angelcrc7, here:

http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-INFO-New-Udemy-Coupons-Rules

Magic Button :

------------- Patrick0:

It's going to get more and more complicated to have valid coupons...

https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035414353

- Instructors will not be able to create more than three coupons per course each month.

- 100%OFF will expire 3 days after creation



------------- angelcrc7:

Very useful contribution sharing this info, many thanks, Patrick0 bro! Thanks

Official info as shared by Patrick0 and with more details:

- 100% OFF coupons for UNLIMITED students that will expire 3 days after creation.
- 100% OFF coupons for 10 UNIQUE students that will expire in 30 days or after 10 redemptions; whichever comes first.

And more important:
- Once a coupon has been created, it cannot be edited or deleted. If you would like to deactivate a coupon, however, it can be turned off.


angelcrc7:

Every change of rules is a difficult challenge that we can overcome together! And I am also agree with Patrick0, i_Love_Knowledge and 饿死我了 bros!

1)
Yes, this will limit the students to get a coupon, but this will could not be so difficult if we come here at BBHF and check the coupons daily, and if we collaborate to improve BBHF if we "stop unnecessary thread bumping even more" as 饿死我了 proposes ;)

2)
Yes, this will limit the authors, but the authors can create a 100% unlimited coupon per month and deactivate/activate when necessary, and 2 limited coupons for 10 students each: and give that very limited coupons here at BBHF to committed students to take the course or write sincere/constructive reviews.

3)
Nevertheless, even the limit of 3 coupons could be beneficial to the community of authors, because this will not allow the abuse of some authors that were creating a crazy number of unnecessary coupons to saturate the coupon-sites and that brings a lot of hard work to the sharers.


QUESTION:
Anyone knows if there is any limit when changing the price of courses to free for a limited time (F4LT/FFLT) and again with a price?

/ Thanks for your answer Patrick0 in post 5 and also in a PM! Also thanks to i_Love_Knowledge and 饿死我了 bros!


Peace and success!



------------- i_Love_Knowledge:

This complicates things a bit. I am predicting that Udemy is going to restrict its own growth and slowly become stagnant... save for the 1% who are already well-known on its platform.

I have a feeling most of the instructors will pick this option:

Free: 3-Day Unlimited

Creates a limited-time offer that allows any number of students to enroll in your course for free.

3 days after creation



------------- 饿死我了:


In this case we need to stop unnecessary thread bumping even more. If only 3 coupons can be made per month, the begging has even less use and makes us seeing which coupons are active are even more important.



------------- Patrick0 answer to angelcrc7:


There is a (strong) restriction for switching a course to FREE/PAID :

" While you can change the price of your course at any time, you can switch from Free to Paid only once. If you switch from free to paid and back to free (or vice versa) after the course is published, your promotional announcements for the course will be permanently disabled.
"

Error 503 Backend fetch failed

Backend fetch failed

Common re-captcha issue:


---------- PROBLEM:

Sometimes we have to write re-captcha more than once, and that is a big pain.


---------- SOLUTION (to avoid "keep solving the re-captcha challenge" multiple times):

+ After completing the re-captcha just wait few seconds to AUTO-REFRESH!!!

+ Do NOT press F5 and do NOT press Enter in the URL, just wait to auto-refresh.

+ And then, you can refresh with F5 or Enter all other blocked tabs (if you have multiple tabs blocked with re-captcha)


---------- ALSO REMEMBER TO:

+ Please make sure that Javascript and cookies are enabled on your browser and that you are not blocking them from loading.

+ "Please disable your ad blocker extension (i.e. uBlock Origin, AdBlock, Adblock Plus, etc.) to solve the CAPTCHA challenge." and also disable the ad block option in your VPN tool!

+ And do not open too many tabs at the same time!

+ We know that the re-captcha is necessary but sometimes is a pain by definition; so be careful to avoid more issues!

[angelcrc7]

Today Udemy have a new UI design. We'll see if it's just a test or if they will keep it.

We will have to get used to the changes. The information is presented very differently, but it has its advantages in fact; I think it's a good UI design.

Peace and success!
