Skillshare is like Udemy, but with a smaller market. Skillshare is a marketplace for online classes that focuses on shorter lessons, each video being just a few minutes long. Most classes can be completed in an hour.
Skillshare has one million users and over 2,000 classes. You do not need to be a certified teacher or have any teaching experience to teach on Skillshare.
There are currently 1,000 teachers on the Skillshare platform who average $3,500 in earnings per year.
Skillshare has many different subjects available such as music, technology, creativity, photography, entrepreneurship, design, DIY, crafts, fashion, and more.
Skillshare focuses on doing rather than teaching, so there’s more interaction with their courses. Skillshare also emphasizes that students should complete a specific project in each course. Students can upload their projects to the course page for everyone to see.
Instead of paying per course, users of Skillshare pay a monthly fee, and instructors are then given a percentage of the monthly fee based on how many people attend their courses.
Skillshare also has an awesome Teacher Handbook that is a good reference for anyone interested in tutoring online.
