Skillshare is more than just a place to teach classes. With digital products and 1-on-1 Sessions, you can grow your creative business, reach new audiences, and earn additional income, all within the Skillshare ecosystem.

Extend Your Creative Business on Skillshare
Beyond classes, Skillshare gives you two powerful ways to earn more:
- 1-on-1 Sessions: Offer personalized coaching, feedback, or creative guidance on your own terms. Learn more about how 1-on-1s work.
- Digital products: Sell downloadable tools, templates, or artwork to support your students’ learning. Get the lowdown on digital products.
Adding Shop offerings isn’t just about expanding your income — it’s about expanding your impact:
- Different ways to learn (and earn): Reach students who want more personalized feedback or tools to deepen their skills.
- Reach a broader audience: People don’t need a Skillshare membership to buy from your Shop.
- Own your pricing and availability: Set rates that reflect your value and the time you can commit.
- Keep students in your ecosystem: A well-run Shop is a natural extension of your creative brand.
How Shop Earnings Work
For both 1-on-1 Sessions and digital products, Skillshare applies the same revenue share:
- 10% platform fee
- 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe credit card processing fee
The rest is yours. After a 14-day holding period (post-sale or session completion), your earnings are added to your balance — and you can withdraw them anytime.
You’ll see a clear breakdown of fees and earnings whenever you set a price. And you can withdraw funds at any time after they’re released.
