Success doesn’t happen overnight and it can be stalled by a number of avoidable mistakes.

We’ve seen new teachers struggle to gain traction when they forget to take a few simple steps before and after publishing. Let’s talk through 5 of the most common mistakes, so that you can avoid them and be well on your way to Skillshare success!

Teachers are always surprised by how easy it is to record high-quality classes at home without breaking the bank. Whether you’re planning on filming a screencast-based class with a quick talking head intro, or an entire class where you’ll show your process for creating your own beautiful Kokedama, you’ll need a few tools to help you get started. 

Has this ever happened to you? You’re scrolling through Skillshare and wonder, “how did that class get over 1,000 enrollments?” Or you open up an email and think, “how did that class get featured in the trending section?” Or you’re reading the blog and come across an interview with a teacher and ask, “how did they earn enough to quit their day job?”

Every type of class has its own unique attributes and style. A Business class may use slides to emphasize key concepts and a Music class may use screencasting to give a walkthrough of a new recording software. What you’re teaching requires a different setup or style to properly demonstrate the skills you want students to learn.

We noticed that Crafts classes are on the up and up, so we compiled a few best practices to ensure that you are recording the best, most accessible class you can.

At Skillshare, we have tons of tips and resources to help our teachers market their classes. We are now seeing that a growing number of Skillshare teachers have Etsy stores, which is awesome! So, in addition to the standard tips and tricks, we wanted to lay out 4 marketing tips specifically for our teachers with Etsy or any other online shops looking to grow their followers and increase their earnings on both platforms!
