It was a bit of work to get it recorded and professional-looking but the money Skillshare keeps giving me is way more than I was making on YouTube.

A couple things courses probably be slightly improved, but I HIGHLY recommend Skillshare whether you're a complete newbie or have some experience, especially if you're a newbie.

I see a lot of bad reviews here and they're mainly about Skillshare's free trial, so I find that a bit unfair. It's okay if you forgot about the trial and what not, but it's not really fair to blame Skillshare and claim they're scammers because it slipped your mind. (I had to put the date on my phone calendar and on post it notes so *I* wouldn't forget myself).
After singing up for the trial, you can go straight to account settings, then payments and it'll show you how long your free trial will last and gives you the exact date of its expiration and it tells you that you will be charged $99.00 on that day.
A lot of sites have emails that can slip into your spam folder so it's always encouraged to check so you can correct that- so you also can't blame that solely on Skillshare.

Now onto the site itself. As you'll see on the website, Skillshare is a very nifty site that has videos that covers a wide variety of subjects and you'll have lots to choose from. Whatever you want, Skillshare probably has it! Check it out for yourself and see if there's anything that piques your interest! You can also see if there's any classes you can watch without needing a Premium which is also neat. I mainly came to Skillshare to look into art classes but I ended up getting sucked in and browsing through other videos such as freelance help and writing classes and a few self-help videos. It's like woah, a whole world just opens up before you once you start browsing. I think it's worth a shot!

Skillshare is getting a lot of unnecessary flak here when the blame falls partially on the consumer. When accepting a subscription from ANY website, it's up to you to remember it and to cancel it in time so you don't get charged. Every website is not going to tell you when it's almost over and you also can't depend on seeing that message in time even if they do tell you. Though I do believe if this is a big issue then Skillshare should look into it to help their reputation out. But, if you do decide to accept the trial, take it upon yourself to be extra cautious and put reminders around so you can remember! (From time to time, there's also good deals like 3 months of Premium for 99 cents, so keep an eye out for that too!)

I was charged the monthly fee even though I was unsubscribed from the service. Skillshare are sneaky thieves, do not trust them.

I signed up for Skillshare as a teacher, took part in the teacher's challenge and won a year membership free, I produced 4 classes, making sure to read their handbook and follow their guidlines. I spent over 62 hours creating those 4 classes and promoting my classes on social media and gained over 20 refferls, next thing I know I got this email out of the blue.

Hello

This is Skillshare's Trust & Safety Team.

Unfortunately, because we have found evidence of the behaviors listed below associated to your account, we have canceled your teacher payment and closed your account.

- Misrepresentation of enrollments, reviews referrals
- Attempts to artificially inflate class ranking
- The characteristics of the teacher account overlap with the characteristics of student accounts enrolled in their class
- The teacher's account is associated to networks of users exhibiting suspicious activity

For further information, please refer to our Terms of Service: https://www.skillshare.com/ss/terms

Skillshare

All the effort, and hard work I put into creating classes and promoting them via social media, and worst was really looking for the check to pay my rent and all of it is gone, I cannot believe this. They encourage you to promote to gain referrals and I did so following all the social media rules of Faceook, Youtube, Twitter etc and they decide to remove my account with a vague false claim, I have never once in my life went against a websites policy, I joined skillshare to build a sustainable side income to support myself because I am not able to work a 9-5 job due to health reasons, I followed their rules and they just remove my account. I am so depressed now I have no idea what to do, this was my big plan to help myself and now it is all gone.

I was either wrongfully accused by Skillshare or sabotage by someone, the worst part is skillshare does no kind of investigation or care about anything you have to say, they just send you very vague messages and responds to support tickets in like a non human pre written template. Without teachers Skillshare would not be in business, yet they treat them like disposable garbage.
