Hello guys!
I just met a guy on Reddit who tried to explain me how to make some good bucks on Skillshare (talking about more than 200 a month) basically teaching whatever you want.
Classes can be as short as 10 minutes and the system is pretty clever. People don't pay for YOUR course, they pay for a premium membership (10$/month) to gain access to every premium course and free course on the website.
I think that could be great. Any of you have tried the platform? Do you know any other platform like this one? Let me know!

I haven't, but I doubt I'd be any good at it. I don't have a clue what I'm capable of teaching. Let us know what you do on there and what your lessons are.

I'm not sure I'm going to try it. Not now, at least. I have to figure out what programs to use and what people are searching for on the platform. Anyway, I think any of us have the capiblity to teach something in a 10-minutes course!

@resolvingpartner You can't say that for every topic. For example, your native language is Italian. That does not mean that you can teach Italian. You can speak and write it but not explain the rules to a foreigner. You have to study how to teach a language.
You can believe me. I've taught foreign languages for 40 years.

@MALUSE But that's not how skillshare works :)
If you take a look at the site, since they're not PAID COURSE but useful skill share videos, you'll find a lot of videos about recipes and courses with a total lenght of 10 minutes.
You can't say that for any topic, but as it seems for me you can either make a tutorial about how to use myLot on there. Or how to search for free good images online. Anything.
And I think anyone can find an hidden talent like that

Yeah, but you get something around 1-2$ for each premium user in your course. That's pretty good.

Teaching is not in my heart. I'd rather go for Wealthy Affiliate program because I am a frustrated WebDesigner and Marketer
