Linktree
By using Linktree, you can add multiple links to your Instagram biography, instead of just one which Instagram currently allows. Direct your profile visitors to your personal website, online shop, upcoming exhibitions/events, online portfolios (Zealous!) and more.
The free package allows you to keep track of how many times each link has been clicked, and you can pick from a variety of basic themes.
Skillshare
Every Skillshare class asks you to complete one project, meaning you’ll be learning by putting your skills to use. Class types include Fine Art, Illustration, Animation, Music Production and other business-related categories including Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Productivity. If you prefer group learning, they also offer workshops, where you complete projects on a schedule with a group of other students,
