About This Workshop
If you've just published a new class to Skillshare, then this challenge is for you! In just five days, you'll learn how to enroll your initial students and get your class discovered on the platform so that it can start to “trend” in our class listings. Through the challenge, we'll guide you through the process of getting your new class off the ground with milestones, reminders, and tons of support along the way. Our top teachers leverage their classes to build large student followings and earn steady income, and that process begins the moment you’ve published your class.
