As I mentioned In an earlier post there are quite a few ways to get paid on skillshare. Let dig a little deeper to shall we?
So first up are royalties. Royalties are paid out for every premium minute watched (students who are subscribed and paying monthly to skillshare are considered premium). Payouts usually range from .04 to .07 cents per premium minute depending how well subscriptions are doing that month. It doesnt sound like much but actually adds up pretty quickly when you have tons of people watching your courses. Something to take note of is that you need at least 30 mins of premium minutes watched to start receiving payouts.
Next are commissions. Whenever someone uses your affiliate link to sign up as a premium member you get a commission. The commission payout is $10. you only get a commission once per person. Usually skillshare will run special offers where students can join at a discounted price like giving you your first 3 months for .99 cents or a free 30 day trial. The best things about these promotions are that even if someone signs under you for the .99 cent promotion you still get the $10 commission or if its a free trial you still get the $10 commission and their minutes count as premium.
Alternatively if you are a premium member yourself if you watch a course to completion and like the
course you can share that course and earn the same $10 commission that way.
Next on the list are workshops. These are like live learning sessions you pick the time and the date
the class will be available. You can also set a price for how much you want your workshops to be.
Students DO NOT have to be premium members to join a work shop so you can reach out outside of skillshare to make a decent income.
Skillshare is very flexible with how you get get paid the only downside is that you get paid monthly payments are sent straight to your paypal account on the 16th ( payments from workshops may work differently).
