Take Advantage of Skillshare To Make Passive Income
How To Recycle Your Content & Create Mini-Courses
If you have content on Medium or any other writing platform, then you have a treasure full of endless opportunities to make passive income.
The key to success is to use the sustainable approach of recycling your content into other digital products, including online courses.
As long as you own the content, you are free to transfer this content on online course platforms such as Skillshare, Udemy, and Edureka
My favorite platform to use is Skillshare, also labeled by experts as the "Netflix of the creative space".
It features large-high-quality online courses in different categories animation, photography, and entrepreneurship.
You can get 1 month free premium account to use Skillshare using this link.
This is a great opportunity to use the platform with no cost added before you make your online course. Use this time to learn how instructors present their course and what kind of courses are used.
By using my link to sign up for your first free month, you are helping me to get a free month on skillshare at the same time with no additional cost to you.
Membership can be cancelled at anytime before your free month ends should you choose to discontinue.
Skillshare has a large built-in audience and is a great opportunity to utilize your content. After initially creating and publishing your course, you receive passive income and get paid for each minute viewed by a premium user.

Utilize Medium/Blog Content On Skillshare
In order to create small courses on skillshare, take a close look at the content you own or have created. If you have written content on multiple topics in a teaching mode then you may be eligible to transform your content into a course.
- Create a spreadsheet of all your content that you created, with a field for title and topic/category.
- Filter out each topic and see how many articles you have on each topic.
- Decide on a topic of your courses, such as entrepreneurship, productivity, or lifestyle.
- Check that the topics meet Skillshare’s requirements; in-depth, helpful, and free from promoting programs and other websites.
- Research the Skillshare platform; use the link to get your first month free and get an idea of the top courses in your niche, their duration, and the way they are presented, such as an in-person, presentation, or a combination of both. Do not copy, just use the information to get inspiration!
- Read the Teacher handbook to learn how you can build a great class. Familiarise yourself with the class guidelines.
- Apply to the ‘Teach Challenge’ if you want to start your class and enter into the competition to get your class featured.
