Hey if I had a Paypal account and got 30 days free in skillshare and later cancelled it would they still charge me ?

[@UnoriginallyChrisLPs]

That "keep cancelling the free trials for better and better deals" tip is OP as hell. Thanks for that!

[@rachel.schmidt]

I’m so glad it could help!!

[@SpaceGamblerJR]

no not a good idea how is that working out? once they get a hold of your payment info your in trouble. gave me that year deal and 3 months later tried to hit me with another year charge.

[@gerathy7292]

@@SpaceGamblerJR What if you cancel before the trial ends. Are you saying that they will still charge you even if you cancel or delete your info?

[@daktari3055]

I think $168 a year is very fair. I would do the monthly $32 a month because of the heads up you mentioned. The way I see it, when I was in college, there were other students that just didn’t want to be there. I sat in front of the class like a nerd. Trust me I’m no nerd. Anyway, thank you so much for the info.

[@rachel.schmidt]

If you love learning- especially in a lesson structure, skillshare is definitely a worth it because you can watch so many different classes! As long as you are self motivated to actually utilize it 🙂

[@davidcarias4407]

32 a month???? isnt it 30 a year?

[@NoorKenan]

I canceled my subscription and they still charged me 280$ for a yearly subscription which I never even signed up for. I found out and I canceled my subscription, deleted my payment information, but they still managed to charge me 280$ for the 2nd time in a couple of days, and they are completely ignoring my emails. I emptied my bank account and they keep trying to charge me the same amount over and over again but thankfully now the payment isn't going through, I found other people who had the same issue so be careful.

[@viktoriiasbeauty]

I love how honest you are. It's so tricky with this canceling situation 🤔 Free month sounds so good🙂

[@rachel.schmidt]

Thank you!! 😊

[@originalog6995]

Honest? She knew exactly what she was doing with that thumbnail. Making it sound like she was getting scammed and they refused to cancel it.

[@itskasey1839]

It's nice to get an actual review of skillshare I see it everywhere.

[@rachel.schmidt]

Me too! Which is why I had to try it for myself 😊

[@guest578]

Wasn't a very good review. What does it mean "a classroom setting"? Do they have the option to get questions answered by the author? Can a deaf person use the service? What are the supported media formats? The categories available, like a pilot or plumber. Lots of details missing.

[@zinkadu]

So why can't you watch a list of courses so you can decide whether you want to join. The first thing you meet when you click onto their page is a registration form for credit card information.. Very unsympathetic.

[@rachel.schmidt]

I was able to see the course list and first intro to each class before signing up… I wonder if it’s changed

[@prissypacheco2860]

Right now I

[@EveWilliamsMusic]

I think Udemy is better for students because you just pay per course. In my case I only do a couple a year so it makes better financial sense and there is a bigger catalogue of courses.

[@rachel.schmidt]

Oh that’s smart!! 👏🏻

[@thugpug4392]

Ik this is an old comment but I have access to LinkedIn Learning as part of my local Library membership. It's entirely free except for like a $3 fee to replace the card if I ever lose it.

[@0000song0000]

yeah but somehow I find Skillshare has better standards on the video and audio quality. Udemy makes me mad ,when you pay for a course about music theory with really terrible audio (a lot of background noise, recorded with the cheapest mic, probably from a headset... 🙉) although there are a lot of FREE Udemy courses to se see,😀

[@thugpug4392]

@Bettina Corbitt check out your library first you might get access to many of the same courses for free. For example the CompTIA A+ course I found on my free LinkedIn Learning stuff is the same course as a guy I know paid for on Udemy. You also might be able to find books or other material to borrow. There's even libraries that offer free in-person classes for stuff. Always check your local libraries (your city and any library you can reasonably drive to).

I just got the 1 year plan because of how detailed you were :) id definitely recommend changing your thumbnail styles though But your explaining are definitely on point :) thanks a lot

[@aliozanerbektas]

My question is that is there a thing, anything, that you cannot find on youtube? That's my biggest issue with the skillshare.

[@rosiedarling_arts]

I've been wondering the same thing but from what I've heard is they have more in depth videos on the subject and they are longer than on KZbin. So I guess yes there is more you can learn on skillshare?

[@rachel.schmidt]

I believe you can learn anything on KZbin, but you have to find it. Skillshare has more organized in depth classes on a specific subject so it is much more efficient. With that said, I’m still a huge fan of KZbin to find the answer and learn new things 😊

[@georginatoland]

This video was very helpful and you were very sincere! I’ve been wrestling with the idea of shelling out the cash for Skillshare for a couple of years now. Books on the topic don’t really address a KZbinr’s use of Final Cut Pro and they go out of date so fast. Thank you again for your review! ❤❤

[@cozycasasmr4510]

I think it also depends heavily on the subject you want to learn about, I wanted to learn video/photo editing and watercolors, the more technical side of the video/photo editing was much better explained in a course but the watercolor courses were just so basic, stuff you could learn on KZbin for free. There are some subjects that just need a more detailed explanation more than others, like intricate settings of editing software

[@AThirstyPhilosopher]

Thanks for the honest review!

[@thelastnic]

it can be hell trying to cancel. my email changed and it is back and forth trying to reset password. I can see small claim suit on this.

I tried skillshare when it first started and was terribly disappointed. I am sure there may have been many changes since then, but I found the classes poor quality and not any better than what I had found for free on KZbin. I had purchased an annual membership, but when I tried to cancel a month in, they would not prorate the membership. In other words, I cancelled but still had to pay for the year. UGH! Great review by the way :)

[@FemmeCC]

They have a free 3 months thru select creators too.

why does the site skillshare offer 1 month free

[@rachel.schmidt]

I would assume it is so it gets customers to try it. It’s easier to continue a subscription than to start one 😊

[@rachel.schmidt]

My guess it is to incentivize new customers to try it. It’s easier to continue a subscription than to sign up for one 😊

they just charged me like 160 something for a year bc i forgot to cancel :( i guess ill finally learn spanish

I thought this was a helpful video. I have been a Udemy user for a while and have purchased lots of courses. I hadn't logged in for a while and when I tried to log in recently, I had a message (like a lot of people apparently) that my account was temporarily suspended. The message provided and email address for questions. Despite several emails to that address, I still cannot get in and cannot access the courses I paid for and no one will respond. So...I am looking into Skillshare. Thanks for this video 😁

[@stephaniechrystal]

[@rachel.schmidt]

Thank you for watching!

[@j.c.6063]

Thank you for your honesty. Do you have to pay for individual courses in addition to the membership fee? If not how do the content creators get paid for their courses? Thank you in advance.

[@rachel.schmidt]

All courses are covered in the subscription cost! The creators are compensated from the subscription fees I believe.

[@solbug]

they dont offer a monthly subscription anymore…? its seeming more and more like a money grab. it keeps getting more and more expensive, and with only the annual membership i have to pay 120 a year… i really hope i can use it often enough to justify paying that while making minimum wage.

[@rachel.schmidt]

Definitely try a free trial first if you can! It is pretty expensive if you may not use it often..

[@Tubedog8]

Great job!!

[@rachel.schmidt]

Thank you!!

[@ALLIENYC]

LOL "I have seen a skill share ad" 🤣🤣you do sound like the AD. FCP is great. It was pretty easy for me to pick up as I am graphic designer and I know a lot about PS. I know what you mean about memberships. I joined Babble and it is not expensive. Even though I did not use it for a long time due to all these things that happened in my life. But it is super affordable so I didn't mind. And I am starting to use it again. Yes annually is way better and that is not a bad price. This was a great review. New subbie here and I am so going to check out his channel! Hope we can connect and keep up the good work! 👍😘

Thank you so much, Allie!! 😊 I will definitely look into babble too if it’s more affordable!

[@brekedekdang39]

I don't think $168 per year is very expensive to get access to all those courses. I think it's fair as long as you use it regularly. If they don't charge money then no one will want to teach on there. It's not very expensive. Netflix is about the same price, and it's just entertainment mostly. Online courses give you skills that make you more marketable.

So after 9 months, what are your thoughts about Skillshare?

I wish I use it more than I do.. but I have taken a couple other classes are they were helpful and well organized!! I stand by my initial review. It’s a great resource if you have a specific plan to use it 😊

[@rafaelthomas4174]

$168 per year isn't a lot at all. Also, if the skill you are learning makes you money on a regular basis then it pays for itself.

[@rachel.schmidt]

Absolutely- if you utilize the skills you learn it can be a great deal! I think it’s all about being realistic about how you’ll actually use it.

[@madebynicolezan]

interesting sounds like its pretty expensive

[@rachel.schmidt]

Definitely expensive if you are unable to utilize it imo. Thanks for watching!
