I learned that you can actually make classes on Skillshare and earn thousands of dollars a month!

Skillshare reminds me of Udemy. It’s always great to know of all the places you can share your expertise. I think being on multiple platforms increases your exposure and really sets you apart from the crowd.

It’s interestng idea to be more challenging in life. My wife is smart in cooking. Even a volunteer from Germany gave her level of EXCELLENCE in cooking. But she cannot communicate in English. So I will translate the recipes for the SKILLSHARE then. Is that OK?

That is a question you will have to contact Skillshare about. I’m not sure of their policies on that.
