Should I create and sell online courses teaching my art technique?

If you’re receiving regular requests from people wanting to learn your technique, creating courses represents a significant income opportunity—potentially doubling your revenue. However, recognize that it’s a steep learning curve that requires focused time and effort. It’s okay to take longer than you initially planned if you’re already busy with painting and selling work. Set realistic timelines and don’t rush it. Taking a course on how to create courses can help you structure the content properly. When you’re ready to test interest, mention your plans during live sessions or in posts and ask people to comment if they’re interested.
