Hey, I’m Glider. I make art, and I’ve got a free Skool community for people who want to grow their skills together.
It’s totally free to join (even though I pay over $100/month to keep it running):
👉 www.skool.com/artfree/about
(Check out the video at the bottom—tells you what it’s all about.)

Now, based on a lot of good advice, I’m launching a paid community soon.

Think of it like this:

The free group is like watching a solid boxing tutorial.

The paid one is where we actually spar—weekly live follow-alongs, faster feedback on your drawings, and we’ll branch into other stuff like oil painting too.

But here’s my question:
What’s a fair price point for something like this?

The potential audience is big. I’m not worried about quick wins—I’m thinking long-term. 6 months out, 1 year, even 3 years. I want it to be affordable but also reflect the value I’m putting in.

Would love any thoughts or advice from people who’ve done this before—or even just have a good gut instinct. 🙏

Wow. Just watching your video I learned so much:

Time is heavy. pow!
Training my brain to see like an "artist" makes me POWERFUL. pow!
How to reference the same study twice. pow!
How to say random shit and make it look like a study actually found proof of it when it didn't. pow!
There's an artistic muscle. pow!
How to leave out the little word mild when quoting the timemagazine . pow!
A cool story about god. pow!

Niice. I wanna join up. I think a fair price would be maybe 100$ a month? or 200$? Or maybe don't charge anything at all since you're totally no business even though google thinks otherwise. Or maybe you're not asking for anything at all because you as an artist, as a philanthropist, you don't want to raise the hurdle of going through the metaphorical door you mentioned, do you?

lol thanks for sharing though & have a nice one


Edit: Oh I totally forgot. Seems like your speciality is dogs, isn't it? Every and each one of them on your page looks like a masterpiece. Mindblowingly good

yes, more than one study does show art give you super powers. But honestly it rewires your mind in more than one study, and with too many cognitive benefit to mention. I don't make up stuff. those are just some little cherries on top. You should try it.

and yes, my specialty is dog. Ask anyone around here. You sound like you are not very happy man. You know that guy who try to find the negatives in everything, but can't even give constructive feedback and resolves to sarcasm, and hasn't matured enough yet to see the difference between a smart reply and a juvenile one.

And thanks for your comments on the video, didn't ask for that. how nice of you to take your time to spur your thoughts. But I think I'll trust the conversion analytic from thousands of viewers a little bit more.

Also learn to read, each of them "dog images" you mentioned is not my drawings, but total beginners from my community - hence "Community Drawings"

So first of all, when I was reading your text description in the Original OP, I did not understand almost anything about what this was about. After I watched your video, however, everything became clear, as it’s well structured, engaging, and you clearly state things; so there is some discrepancy between text and video. I suggest you use AI to build written presentations and place them where they need to go. The videos are fine and you are doing a great job with them, no need for help there.
I asked the AI to write an introductive paragraph explaining what you are offering as setting a price tag of 10 dollars a month as an example per person, to give you an example of using AI to structure descriptions:

Here's a more coherent description of your subscription offering:

**Glider's Premium Art Community - $10/month per person**

Building on 20 years of professional art experience, I'm launching a premium subscription community to complement my existing free art school on Skool. While my free community provides foundational video lessons and book resources for learning to draw, this premium tier offers direct, interactive instruction and personalized guidance.

**What's Included*
- Weekly live workshop sessions with follow-along instruction
- Regular personalized feedback on your artwork submissions
- Expanded curriculum covering advanced techniques like oil painting
- Direct interaction and mentorship from me during live sessions
- Access to a focused community of serious art students

**The Value Proposition*
The free community teaches you *how* to draw through self-paced resources. The premium community provides *live coaching* where I work directly with you, critique your progress, and guide your artistic development in real-time.

At $10/month, this pricing strikes a balance between accessibility and sustainability. Rather than maximizing short-term revenue, this price point focuses on building a substantial, engaged community over the long term - prioritizing member count and retention over the next 6 months to 3 years.

The large addressable market for art education, combined with the proven demand from your free community, suggests this premium offering can grow into a significant, sustainable business while remaining affordable for aspiring artists.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As far as what you should actually charge, I have no idea. I see that on twitch, people do it for free, but yours is a stronger project with a bigger vision and intention, on twitch they are mostly drawing themselves and vibing.

On YouTube there are lots of art tutorials as well, again for free. Not sure that, again, those are similar projects as yours;
Here are some ideas you might “draw” on for inspiration:

-real life drawing classes for complete novices.
-zoom video live classes for novices.
-setting up YouTube channel and twitch channel to share what you do, meet people, draw people in, continue growing the community.
The video and real life classes you can charge, on twitch you can accept subscriptions, you could also set up a patreon

thanks, and your points are valid, but that messy text is just for TL post, not my official offering text or anything. I appreciated the version you generated, it has good points i can incorporate.

Been a fan forever despite my artistic incompetence. My partner insists I can draw if I try, despite how 35 years to the contrary. So maybe I have to give it a go with your free tier one of these days!

She actually linked me to one of your vids once, and I was like ‘hey it’s Gilder from TL!’ Small world.

The price point, I assume you’ve asked your own community, it feels a tricky one. It sorta sits a little awkwardly. A StarCraft coaching session, or a guitar lesson you’ve that 1-1 attention, and a lot of people already do that so there’s a vague market rate there.

Asked me partner what she thinks as art is more her world, I’m to get some more in-depth feedback as to her thoughts if that helps

Asking for help may be difficult, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed. This was an honest and realistic read. I liked how you talked candidly about burnout and the difficulty of maintaining motivation. It brought up memories of a challenging project I was working on that included human behavior and performance under duress. The subject struck close to home, and I discovered that I also needed assistance while doing my study. At that point, I discovered several useful scholarly resources, particularly in specialized fields like nursing dissertation service UK. It had a significant impact on my ability to manage my stress as well as finish the assignment. Sometimes the mental burden can be significantly reduced merely by realizing that you're not alone and that there are resources available.
