This April, grow your channel and let your teaching career flourish!
For many Skillshare teachers, publishing a new class every 1-2 months ensures they earn a consistent side income that provides them with both financial + creative freedom.
Some teachers are able to put their monthly earnings towards new art supplies or equipment to help supplement their creative projects, while others say the foundational monthly income has enabled them to pursue the freelance projects they’re most passionate about. Whatever your creative dreams might be, building a channel on Skillshare can help them come to fruition.
This Spring, start your path towards freedom by publishing your next class on Skillshare! We know that getting started can be the hardest part of teaching, but we’ll help you every step of the way, with milestones, resources, and support from our amazing teacher community.
