How to make money with skillshare is something you need to find an answer to if you are a content creator or a teacher or anyone who wants to earn a living.

You see we live in an economic world and most things we need to survive depend on a medium of exchange which is where money comes in

In this post, I will explain;

1. Why skillshare is important to an educator
2. How to make money with skillshare, and
3. Provide 3 suggestions if you’re looking for how to make money with skillshare.

HOW SKILLSHARE WORKS

Skillshare is an online learning community but unlike other learning platforms where a learner takes a course then get a certificate, skillshare is project based.

The idea is a learner practices what the instructor is teaching and has an option of posting the end project and share with other learners

For instance, if you want to learn how to write and pitch a business to investors or even how to develop a proposal that sells in a digital marketing business you get to go through the course and by the time you are done you get a project assignment that requires you to actually do what you have studied.

Basically, the idea is learning by doing.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH SKILLSHARE

Promote other courses (become an affiliate)

If you are not interested in creating a course or even if you are creating a course but you just want to make extra income on top of what you are earning you can just start by joining the skillshare affiliate program and from there you can promote other people’s course and get a commission each time the courses are bought.

The amount of money will be about 40% of what the person has paid. This is one of the changes that was made in the skillshare affiliate program recently

So why not start there!

Earn royalties

If you can teach someone how to do something, why not get paid as you teach them?

Skillshare is project based so let’s say a person wants to learn how to write a request for proposal (RFP) or something like how to use Microsoft project and you are good at this, you can make a step by step video showing how such is done and get paid for it.

How you earn money with skillshare in this case is in terms of royalties. Meaning what? Mean if someone watches your videos you get paid based on how many minutes they have watched. The amount you earn per minute will vary but it is somewhere between 0.05 – 0.10 dollars per minute

So, if you are an educator start thinking that way!

Promote your own course and get paid

Skillshare has an option which allows a teacher to get paid a commission if a student signs up for the teacher’s course using a referral link which means, in addition to the royalties a teacher can get money by promoting their own course.

Bonus: DO ALL THE THREE

Why not do all the three if you can. You can create courses, promote them using referral links and also promoter other people’s course in the process and still make money

REMEMBER: there are rules so makes sure you read the terms and conditions before you blindly start doing any of these.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers!
