Teach on GyaanShala

You already teach this.
Ten women have asked you how.

If you have sold something you made with your own hands, you have knowledge that thousands of Indian women are searching for tonight. We turn that into a course, film it, sell it, handle the GST — and pay you every month for as long as it sells.

Instructor ledger Worked example
Course royalty 60% of net, after payment fees ₹17,425
Membership pool Same 60% on member-learners, about 25% again on top ₹4,356
Store kit royalty 10% on kits matched to your course ₹1,438
Every month₹2,78,628 over a year ₹23,219

Illustrative, using our current royalty rates and typical attach rates. Real earnings depend on how many people find and finish your course. A course keeps earning for as long as it stays published — most of ours are still selling two years on.

Who we're looking for

People who sold it before they taught it

That is the whole filter. Every founder here ran the business before writing the course, and we are not going to lower that bar for anyone else.

🧺

The maker who's already selling

You make soap, candles, pickles, jewellery, baked goods, festive hampers — and people pay you for it, repeatedly. You have worked out your costing, found your suppliers, and made the mistakes. That hard-won process is the course.

Ideal: two or more years selling, a repeat customer base, and a craft we don't teach yet.

🪡

The regional craft holder

You carry a skill tied to a place — Chikankari, Sanjhi, bamboo, Channapatna toys, a spice blend nobody outside your district makes properly. You want it to survive, and to earn for the people who practise it.

Ideal: a craft with a real market, taught by someone from that tradition.

📱

The digital skills practitioner

You run ads, build WhatsApp funnels, edit video or grow channels — for actual clients, with actual results. Our makers can produce beautifully and still cannot reach a buyer. That gap is yours to close.

Ideal: live client work you can show, not a certification you collected.

Who this isn't for — said plainly, so nobody wastes a week

  • Anyone teaching from research rather than practice. If you have not sold it, you cannot teach the pricing, and pricing is most of the value.
  • Course resellers and PLR content. Everything published here is original and filmed by the person who owns the skill.
  • Anyone who needs the first payment before doing the work. We pay on sales, monthly. There is no upfront fee — in either direction.
  • Get-rich schemes, trading signals, MLM recruitment, or anything requiring a downline. Immediate no.
The money, up front

Three ways your course pays you

Published rates, no negotiation table where some instructors quietly get better terms than others.

60%

Of every direct course sale

Someone buys your course outright, you keep 60% of what lands after payment-gateway fees and GST. On a ₹499 course that is about ₹250 per sale, every sale, forever.

Live now
30%

Of the membership pool

Members pay yearly for catalogue access. Thirty percent of that revenue goes into a pool, split between instructors by how much of each course members actually watch — not by how many enrol and abandon.

Live now
10%

Of matched store kits

We build a materials kit for your course and sell it in the store. Every kit sold against your course pays you a royalty — usually the difference between a nice side income and a real one.

Proposed

Who does what

You bring the skill and stand in front of the camera. We do the other ninety percent.

Six steps, about ten weeks

  1. Day 1 · 10 minutes You apply

    The form at the bottom of this page. What you make, how long you have sold it, and one link where we can see it — an Instagram page, a WhatsApp catalogue, photographs of your stall. No CV, no fee, no portfolio deck.

  2. Within 5 working days We call you

    A real conversation, in Hindi or English, about twenty minutes. We want to hear you explain how you make one thing, because how you explain it on a call is exactly how you will explain it on camera. If it is not a fit, we say so on that call rather than leaving you waiting.

    ✓ Most applications are decided at this stage
  3. Week 2 We build the outline together

    You know the craft. We know where learners quit — usually costing, packaging and the first sale. Together we turn your process into fifteen to twenty-five lessons with a clear ending: the learner has made the thing and knows what to charge for it.

  4. Weeks 3–6 · 3 to 4 weekends You film it

    On your phone, in your own kitchen or workshop. We send a shot list, a ₹700 clip-on microphone, and lighting instructions that assume ordinary tube lights. Someone from our team is on a call for your first session. Nobody has to visit a studio.

    ✓ Free mic and tripod kit, yours to keep
  5. Weeks 7–9 We produce and test it

    Editing, subtitles, the second language version, thumbnails and the recipe card. Then a test batch: ten real learners take your course free and tell us where they got stuck. You fix those spots. This is the step that makes the difference between a course people finish and one they abandon.

  6. Week 10 onwards It launches, and it keeps paying

    We market it, sell it, and pay you monthly by bank transfer with a statement showing every sale. Your course keeps earning for as long as it stays published, and you can update it any time. You keep the copyright to your own material.

    ✓ Paid by the 10th of every month
What we'll hold you to

Six standards, no exceptions

Read these before applying. They are the reason our courses get finished rather than bought and forgotten.

💰
You've sold it yourself

Not once for a friend. A repeat business, for at least a year, with customers who came back. We will ask for evidence and we do check.

🧮
Every course ends at money

Costing, pricing, packaging and finding a first buyer are mandatory sections. A course that stops at "and now you have made it" will not be published here.

🗣️
Plain language, in your own voice

Teach in the Hindi or English you actually speak, mixed if that is how you speak. We produce the other version. Rehearsed formal delivery teaches nobody.

🛡️
Safety is taught, not skipped

Anything cosmetic, edible or chemical must cover preservation, shelf life, pH and labelling law. This is non-negotiable — your learners will sell what they make to real people.

🎬
Filmed, not narrated over stock footage

Your hands, your workspace, your actual batch. Slideshow courses with a voiceover are the fastest way to lose an Indian audience, and they are not welcome here.

💬
You answer your learners

Within three working days, for as long as the course is published. We route the questions and remind you. This is the part that earns the reviews that sell the next hundred copies.

The people already doing it

Our founders were the first three instructors

Three sisters who sold roughly ₹10 crore of their own handmade products before any of them wrote a lesson. This is the model, not an exception to it.

I resisted filming for months because I thought a course had to look like a television programme. It does not. My first lesson was shot on a phone propped against a flour tin, and it is still the most-watched thing I have made.

SSonu AggarwalCo-founder · SoapShala

Teaching made my own business better. Explaining preservation to a beginner forced me to understand it properly myself, and I have not lost a batch since.

AAnju MittalCo-founder · ShampooShala

The hamper course was filmed across four weekends in October, between real customer orders. It has earned every month since without me touching it. That is the part people do not believe until it happens.

Before you apply

Questions we're asked most

Do I need to pay anything?
No — not to apply, not to be accepted, not for filming or editing. We earn only when your course sells. Anyone asking you for money to become an instructor on GyaanShala is not us; write to support@gyaanshala.com and we'll deal with it.
Do I need a camera or a studio?
A phone from the last four or five years is enough. We send a clip-on microphone and a small tripod, yours to keep, plus lighting instructions written for ordinary household tube lights. Bad audio ruins a course far faster than an ordinary camera does.
What if my English isn't strong?
Teach in Hindi. Most of our learners prefer it, and we produce the English version ourselves. Teach in the language and the register you actually use — the moment an instructor starts performing, learners stop trusting them.
Who owns my course?
You own your recipes, your methods and your material. You grant us a licence to sell the finished course. If you leave, we stop selling it and unpublish it within 30 days — learners who already bought it keep their access, as we promised them.
Am I giving away my competitive advantage?
A fair worry. Our experience is the opposite: our founders' product businesses grew after they started teaching, because teaching built an audience that also buys. If your craft is genuinely local and you'd rather not teach in your own district, tell us and we won't market it there.
How much do instructors actually earn?
It varies enormously and depends mostly on demand for your craft. A steady course at ₹499 selling 60 copies a month earns roughly ₹23,000 a month including the membership pool and kit royalty. Some courses do a fraction of that; a few do several times more. The ledger at the top of this page lets you model your own case honestly.
When and how am I paid?
Bank transfer by the 10th of each month, for the previous month's sales, with a statement listing every transaction. TDS is deducted where the law requires it and the certificate is issued to you. If you're GST-registered we handle that correctly too.
How long does making a course actually take?
Three to four weekends of filming spread over a month, plus a few hours on the outline and a few more fixing what the test batch flags. Roughly ten weeks end to end, and about 25–35 hours of your time in total.
What if my course doesn't sell?
Then we look at why together — usually pricing, the title, or the thumbnail rather than the teaching. We'll re-cut and relaunch it once at our own cost. If it still doesn't work after that, we'll say so honestly rather than leaving it up to gather dust.
Can I teach something you already cover?
Sometimes. We won't publish two beginner soap courses, but a genuinely different angle — cold process where we teach melt-and-pour, or a regional variant — is worth a conversation. Apply and say which existing course yours sits next to.
One conversation

The worst outcome is a twenty-minute phone call.

If you have sold what you make, you already have the hard part. Everything after that — the filming, the editing, the selling, the invoicing — is our job, and we are quite good at it.
