The coaching feature is perfect for offering 1:1 art lessons or you can use the webinar tool to teach a group workshop about cartoon illustration, graphic design, or paper-flower making.

You can even earn recurring revenue by setting up a community so fans can support your art through paid membership tiers. In exchange for their patronage, you can offer behind-the-scenes content, exclusive art, and discounts on your work.

Or, if you prefer a more interactive approach, build a collaborative membership community where artists can connect and learn together. You can even bundle community access with courses and products, so your students can get feedback on their work as they create.
