How Skillshare Works (And Whether It Is Worth It)

Skillshare is a pretty cool platform, but when you are new to e-learning and investing in online courses, it can be hard to know how Skillshare is different from other platforms. I joined Skillshare in 2018, first as a user/learner, then as a teacher. Over time, I've watched Skillshare grow and change. To this day, I still think that Skillshare is a really great place to learn, especially at the all-you-can consume price.

This video is intended to answer your questions about how Skillshare works, to help you understand whether Skillshare is legit or not, and to decide whether getting a paid account (Skillshare Premium) actually works for you or not.

You are awesome, thanks for the honest, sweet personality that you possess and offer without apologizing or feeling the pressure to try to be someone else. Down to earth, easy, lack of ego and just comfortable- that’s how you teach! Yay! Thanks! I’m on board!

Hi, nice video just wanted to find out if you can watch videos offline and how ?

[lifewithsierra]

I heard people on better business bureau have issues with billing. I’m concerned to get premium

[nellymungu]

I have a one year subscription but I can’t access to any course at all

Hi,

So basically people upload their courses to Skillshare and like you as a creator share your Youtube channel. However, Skillshare only uses what you upload on their platform correct? They don’t just aggregate and pull your Yourube content?

[pueblodove]

does it cost anything for the person sharing content, and how do they earn money?

Hi, you're video was very informative. I hope you've had good luck with it so far. Im wondering if Skillshare offers ASL- American Sign Language either on free or premium? Do you know if this could replace a version online of (for example) ASl1, 2, and 3? We are doing homeschool, and were trying to get my daughters foreign language requirement completed. Thank You

Hey Emilia,

I was thinking of joining Skillshare but had some questions. Would be really nice if you can answer them.
Can I rewatch the premium videos at my own time and pace?

Great video! I just subscribed! I've learned a lot from your videos. I ve been watching everything you ve uploaded about Skillshare, and now Im just about to begin the Webpage series.... I noticed that it was mentioned we re not allowed to use external links or refer to other platforms. While checking Skillshare I noticed this guy Jake Bartlet featured on the Skillshare guide video, and he has linked one of his youtube videos on his Skillshare main page. I thought that this would not be permitted and could even get you a strike? I ask this question because I have a youtube channel with many followers and was wondering if I would be allowed to do the same thing?Thank you

Don't sign up for Skillshare unless you fully support Black Lives Matter, Campaign Zero, ACLU of Minnesota, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Know Your Rights Camp, Fair Fight and Committee to Protect Journalists as that is where most of your payments will go.

Crazy how people would pay hundreds on onlyfans but won't pay 8 bucks for knowledge
