Another SK teacher here. In a matter of 3 months my earnings went from 3000-1500 a month to 300 a month for the same number of minutes watched and students subscribed. I’m moving to another platform

I went from $30,000 to $9,000 in monthly skillshare income in what feels like overnight. The cut has been brutal and it has frustrated the lion share of the teaching community on skillshare. I am very active with the skillshare community and most feel totally defeated by the cuts. I am one of those people. I am frustrated as Udemy and other platforms are preforming very well for me still. I am also going to shift gears and focus more on my KZbin channel and writing books. Perhaps this cut will be good for me to challenge myself more. Making that kind of money on skillshare was a sure way for me to get too comfortable with myself and not push myself to achieve something else. I guess I have to have a positive outlook at it all even though it has added a bit of stress in my future planning. Thank you for sharing and being open with your earnings. It is always refreshing to see this type of honesty and how this is affecting more people than just me. I worry about skillshare a year from now still being alive and well. We shall see and I do hope for the best for everyone.

I got a survey monkey email from Skillshare for a 5 question survey. Q1 was how likely to recommend teaching on Skillshare to friends/colleagues. My answer = 0. Q2 was why did you leave that number. Answer was because they showed me in Oct how little they respect the teachers who are working hard to make themselves and Skillshare a success. Another Q was are you planning to create and upload more classes (how many) in the next 6 months. Answer = 0. I was, I nearly finished one, but I'm not now. I really wanted to let them know how I feel about their exciting improvements. I was really excited to make this a worthwhile part of my income, focus and identity. I was enjoying it a lot. Now I feel like a chump, working for chump change. I'll leave my drawing tutorials up until I move them somewhere else. Might be soon, might be not soon. Or they might kick a grumbler like me off, I don't know. Not going to waste my time and energy making more classes for them though. I agree that they are trying to turn us teachers into marketers for them and feel they are turning quickly into a Ponzi/pyramid scheme.

@artbybenjamin Жыл бұрын
Keep in mind that they're not charging the same monthly amount everywhere, a lot of countries it's a lot less. They used to take 30% of the monthly revenue and divide it pretty evenly amongst the teachers. That was roughly 3-4 million. Now they have a set amount for teacher revenue, which is about 1 million, so only 10%. Out of this 1 million they take all these bonusses, incentivises and extra's for certain teachers. What's left is divided amongst all the teachers. That's why most teachers have seen a 60% or higher drop in payout. Skillshare takes 90% or more and pay their most valuable assets, teachers, next to nothing. 30% wasn't great, but 10% is just terrible.

There seems to be a theme with digital platforms cutting earnings for the content providers. I get that the platform has to be profitable for the owners but without knowing their numbers it seems a bit greedy. Even if nobody watches one of your videos they still get the marketing of listing the creator and video as part of the platform. Sheer number of titles is a big selling point for all streaming platforms. It really just seems like a money grab because they can not because they have to.

@@jrlingerfelt Before October 2022 the teachers fund was 30% of the revenue, that number used to be in the teachers online documentation, where they now state how much the teachers fund for the month is. From previous payments the worth of the minutes could be calculated. Same with the current minutes, the worth can be calculated. Once you have both numbers, it becomes clear they’re now allocating less than 15% for the teachers. From the numbers of financial reports online, they’re not doing bad in revenue, on the contrary. That means that they might even be only allocating 10% for the teachers.

Thank you so much for this invaluable input. I have paid Skillshare for the past three years, and I am ashamed to say, I use it so very little, and have even found myself being invited via email to teach on the platform, when I haven’t even been brave enough to so much as show a pencil sketch on their platform. Has anyone else been confused by their asking them? I have had a total of three invites (so far), all of which I have simply binned. This simply made me doubt the validity of the current teachers, which is quite obviously an unfair thing to do. It’s difficult to maintain perspective though. What I do know now is that I shall never pay for that platform again. I have paid for several courses using both Teachable and Udemy. Teachable being my preferred site to use. I feel I have benefitted so much more in just over two months, than three years on Skillshare! I wish you the very best luck going forward Louise. 🖌🎨👩🎨❤️

As you can imagine my stats are a bit different than yours 😉 Yet... I've never been invited to any program by Skillshare. I've never seen a bonus. They never sent me anything special. They never incentivised with anything at all. I don't seem to be egilible for anything at all. All they have done is hassle me with rules that don't exist anywhere. Still I'm staying with them for now, even if they hassle and exclude me from all kinds of things. Thanks for sharing this. Change can be good, but it seems like Skillshare is making contraproductive changes and it definitely doesn't make teachers happy. I'm on Teachable too, but standalone is way harder to get students for, but I keep on going and trying.

But through time I see more and more what the downsides are and it indeed all comes down to trust. For the extra eyes that see courses and products, we lose so much of our autonomy. Etsy also keeps upping their fee and rules regarding shipping, etc. etc. I feel these platforms are sadly mostly working for themselves and the profit, and forget the creatives that really deliver the essence of it all. It would be refreshing to see a company that values the creator above all else and works to make it easier for us to deliver creative content instead of the other way around.

I also looked through topics that I'm very confident in, and the filters and tagging was exceptionally bad, (also again, quality is not ensured on this platform) so I cancled pretty fast during my trial period.

This sucks. I was planning to release the class I'm working on there next year 😭😭😭

I know. 😔 You should still do it though. But you can offer it as a standalone purchase too. Or sell via other platforms. You don't have to be Skillshare exclusive. 😊

Is Teachable an option for you? or patreon?

ugh engagement, bunch of BS that makes things so much harder for teachers that use the platform 😠 skillshare can be helpful but hopefully they dont make it too hard for teachers to teach and make money or they will all leave

BTW, as an English man I hate to hear "off of". Much better to use "from". Just saying :)
