The affiliate team at Coursera provided onboarding guidance that actually helped. They shared which content types convert best and which audiences are most responsive. That's the kind of information you usually have to figure out yourself — getting it upfront saved me months of testing.
The 45% commission is fair but not outstanding for the education category. Some competitors pay more for similar conversions. That said, Coursera has better brand credibility than most — which actually drives conversion rates high enough to compensate. The math works even if the rate itself isn't the best.
