I have always liked the idea of teaching for a living, just never felt like I was good enough to put myself on that pedestal. Your videos are very inspiring.

What are the sites to sell courses as I didn't understand the names properly?

Hi Philip, thanks for the video! I have a question, if I create designs to sell on a website like Creative Market, where people can buy the graphics for commercial use, what type of license would I need for the fonts I use in those designs? If I buy a commercial use font would that be sufficient, or would it need to be a different license? Thank you!
