SkillSeeds is a distraction-free learning platform where users create and discover bite-sized video or audio lessons. It’s powered by curiosity, creativity, and a unique Seed economy — not ads or algorithms.

Seeds are the SkillSeeds currency. They can be used to watch and upload lessons. You start with free daily Seeds and can earn and/or purchase more as you learn and create.

• Complete learning challenges
• Create popular, highly-rated lessons
• Login regularly and be an active community member
• Enter our regular prize draws and competitions for your chance to win free seeds

Yes — you can purchase optional Seed Packets to unlock or upload more lessons. This supports the platform and helps keep SkillSeeds ad-free and fair.

Absolutely. When you reach the threshold, you can harvest your Seeds for real-world payment. See our Creators page for more detailed information about the earning opportunity SkillSeeds offers.

Yes! All users are actively encouraged to both create and consume content.

Yes — each user is gifted free Seeds, which replenish every 24 hours. This means you never have to pay to learn or create, but additional Seed Packets are available for purchase if you want to learn or upload more lessons and so maximize your earning potential.

Each user has a maximum of 10 free seeds available at any time. Free seeds are topped up to 10 once every 24 hours, so for example:

• You spend 8 free seeds uploading a video and leave your remaining 2 free seeds unused. 8 more free seeds are added to your account at the next top up point to once again give you 10 free seeds to spend during the next 24-hour period.
• You spend 8 free seeds uploading a lesson and 2 watching a lesson. 10 more free seeds are added to your account at the next top up point to once again give you 10 free seeds to spend during the next 24-hour period.
• If all 10 free seeds are unspent they roll-over to be used in the next 24-hour period.

By purchasing additional seeds you will be able to upload and view more content. This will enable you to reach the payout threshold much faster and so earn more. The SkillSeeds economic model makes it easy for users who create high quality content and actively engage on the platform to quickly make good returns on any investment they make on the platform by buying seeds.

Anything that helps others learn — from practical skills to creative crafts, academic education to corporate training, mindfulness to life hacks – all types of teaching are welcome. Our only stipulation is that each lesson should be short (5 minutes or under), focused, original, and law-abiding.

SkillSeeds is built for learning, not scrolling. No ads. No algorithms. No engagement traps. Just real people sharing real skills — intentionally, not endlessly.

SkillSeeds is funded through:

• The optional purchase of Seed Packets – Users who choose to buy extra Seeds are able to watch more lessons and upload more content, and so enhance their learning and/or earning potential.
• Prize draws & competitions – We offer our own and also partner with select business to offer weekly and monthly draws and competitions.
• The SkillSeeds Shop – top creators are able to sell additional longer length courses and merchandise in our shop.

These avenues help us maintain the platform, fund new features, and keep SkillSeeds completely free from ads and engagement traps.

In short: SkillSeeds grows through its community — not through algorithms or ad revenue.

Anyone – whether you’re a hobbyist, teacher, business owner, student or lifelong learner — SkillSeeds is designed to help everyone learn, teach, and grow.

It’s our promise: no ads, no distractions, no doom-scrolling. SkillSeeds is a clean, mindful space for intentional learning and creativity.
