BlackShares University

BlackShares University (BSU) was inspired by a combination of the BlackShares ethos to support one another, and the *great* people of HillmanTok, who took up the call to share their knowledge. <br> <br>But, here now is a place where we can organize and learn from each other at-will. No algorithms suppressing us. No hacked pages. Just Black people, sharing the depths of their greatness with one another. <br> <br>Oh, and did we mention that we share a portion of platform revenue with all members? If you teach a course, your share of revenue goes up. The more engagement you have, the higher it goes! <br> <br>Have something to teach? Sign up to teach! <br> <br>Want to take a course?

Set up your Specialist Persona. Be sure to describe your experience and add all of the skills you're willing to offer/teach: <br> <br>https://blackshares.com/profiles/talent/edit <br> <br>3. A course is a type of Event. So, create an Event under your profile: <br> <br>https://blackshares.com/profiles/events <br> <br>For the Event Type, choose "Course/Seminar". Name your course and choose the start/end times, as well as how often you meet. You can also select whether you manually approve each attendee and more. <br> <br>**** <br>IMPORTANT!!!! Once you've set up course Event the way you want, be sure to check the "Activate Event" box to make it live! <br>**** <br> <br>4. Now, just join the BlackShares University community. That will allow your courses to show up on the "Events" tab: <br> <br>https://blackshares.com/@BlackSharesU <br> <br>5. Share your course's Event link on social media to invite people to attend (remember to always use the course Event profile's "Share" link so your referral link is embedded). <br> <br>If they sign up for BlackShares, you'll earn recurring referral commissions for as long as they maintain their premium membership! <br> <br>6. For any course materials, you can host them on Google Drive or similar, then simply add links to them in your course's Event description. <br> <br>For any updates you need to send to students, just post to your course's Event timeline. <br> <br>7. Once your course time(s) arrive, just go to your course's Event page and tap the "Join" button to launch your video call! Your students will do the same. <br> <br> <br>#### How To Start Learning <br> <br>1.
