How much does iLoquio cost?

iLoquio is completely free. No subscriptions or monthly fixed costs. We only charge a 5% fee on each sale you make. If you don't sell, you don't pay anything.

Do I need technical knowledge?

Not at all. iLoquio is designed so any professional can create and sell their services without coding. Our intuitive interface guides you step by step through the entire process.

How do I receive payments from my sales?

We integrate with Stripe to process payments securely. You receive money directly in your bank account, with automatic transfers based on the frequency you choose (daily, weekly, or monthly).

Can I sell courses and live events?

Yes! iLoquio lets you sell both recorded courses and live events. You can create hybrid programs that combine both formats, offering your students the best learning experience.

Can I migrate my courses from another platform?

Yes, you can easily upload your existing videos and materials to iLoquio. Our system accepts most video and document formats. If you need help with migration, our support team is available to assist you.

What happens to my students if I decide to leave?

Your data is always yours. You can export your student list and their emails at any time. There are no lock-in periods or penalties for canceling. We believe in earning your trust every day.

Can students access from mobile?

Absolutely. The entire platform is optimized for mobile phones and tablets. Your students can watch courses, attend live events, and access all content from any device with a seamless experience.

How much can I really earn on Skillshare?

Skillshare pays $0.05-0.10 per minute watched from a subscription pool. Top teachers might earn $2,000-5,000/month, but most earn under $500/month despite having thousands of students.

Should I delete my Skillshare classes?

Not necessarily. Keep Skillshare for passive discovery income, but direct your marketing efforts to your own platform where you keep 95%.

Can I charge more than Skillshare prices?

Absolutely! On iLoquio, you set your prices. Charge $49, $199, or $499—whatever your content is worth. Students pay YOU, not a subscription pool.

What if I don't have a big audience?

Start building now. Every follower you send to Skillshare is a missed opportunity. Better to have 100 students paying you $99 than 10,000 earning you pennies.

Does iLoquio support creative content?

Yes! Upload videos, PDFs, project files—everything you'd include in a Skillshare class, plus live sessions for workshops and Q&As.

Can I do live classes like Skillshare Live?

Yes, and better! iLoquio has built-in HD video calls for live workshops, coaching sessions, and Q&As—no separate tool needed.

The Complete Guide to Skillshare Alternatives

The Skillshare Math Problem

Let's do the math. Skillshare Premium costs subscribers $13.99/month. That revenue gets split among all teachers based on minutes watched. If you have a 1-hour class watched by 1,000 students (60,000 minutes), you might earn $200-400 in a month. Sounds okay until you realize: those 1,000 students would pay you $49,000 if they each bought a $49 course directly. Even if only 5% of those students bought from you directly, that's $2,450—6-12x more than Skillshare.

Who Actually Benefits from Skillshare?

Skillshare works for: • Complete beginners who need exposure and have no audience • Hobbyist teachers who don't care about income • Very prolific creators who can produce dozens of classes Skillshare doesn't work for: • Anyone with an existing audience (YouTube, Instagram, blog) • Teachers who want to price their expertise fairly • Creators who want to build student relationships • Anyone serious about teaching as a business

The iLoquio Difference

iLoquio puts you in control: • You set prices ($10 to $1,000+) • You get student emails • You build your brand • You keep 95% of every sale The trade-off: you bring your own audience. But if you're creating on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or writing a blog—you already have audience. Stop sending them to Skillshare where they become Skillshare's subscribers, not your customers.

A Smart Transition Strategy

You don't have to quit Skillshare cold turkey: 1. Keep your existing classes for passive income 2. Create your premium, expanded content on iLoquio 3. In your Skillshare classes, mention your 'complete course' on your own site 4. Direct all new social media promotion to iLoquio 5. Build your email list from iLoquio students Over time, your iLoquio income will dwarf Skillshare—often with 10x fewer students.
