<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Incorporate Multiple Sections</strong></h3>


<div class="wp-block-paragraph">
<p>Adding multiple sections to your channel not only builds additional credibility — it gives students different ways to engage with you, too. A few of our favorite sections include reviews from your students, ways to connect with you outside of Skillshare, your favorite student projects, or updates and announcements.</p>
