We had covered Teachable previously for its course creation platform. This listing specifically covers the Teachable affiliate program, which is a separate and distinct earning opportunity. Affiliates earn a 30% recurring commission for every paying customer they refer to Teachable, and those commissions continue monthly for as long as the referred person stays subscribed. Teachable plans range from $39 to $299 per month, meaning a single referral on the Pro plan earns you roughly $60 per month every month that person keeps their subscription. The program is managed through Impact.com and pays monthly with reliable tracking.
