Coursera
Online course marketplace — up to 45% on Coursera Plus with university-backed credibility.
About the Coursera affiliate program
Coursera runs its affiliate programme on Impact, paying baseline commissions between 15% and 45% on eligible purchases, with up to 45% available across more than 4,000 courses and Specializations. Attribution runs 30 days from clicking a qualified link. The wide band is the thing to plan around: the product mix determines what you actually earn, and the headline 45% applies to a subset rather than the catalogue as a whole. No payout threshold is published. One structural caution for anyone writing Coursera content — a large part of the catalogue can be audited for free, so readers frequently take the free path and never generate a commissionable purchase.
