Udemy Affiliate Program

About Udemy Affiliate Program

Udemy is the world's largest online learning marketplace with over 210,000 courses and 70+ million students enrolled. Their affiliate program pays 10-15% per course sale, with frequent promotions that heavily discount courses to drive high conversion rates. While the per-sale amount can be modest (Udemy courses often sell for $10-$15 during sales), the platform's enormous course catalog means affiliates can find relevant courses for virtually any niche. Udemy's strong brand recognition and frequent flash sales create natural urgency that boosts conversions. The platform covers everything from programming and data science to photography and personal development, making it versatile for content creators in any vertical. Affiliates benefit from Udemy's aggressive email marketing to past buyers, and the 7-day cookie captures most purchase decisions given the impulse-buy pricing model.

This program is listed in Education & Courses, Online Courses. It is managed through the Impact network. The commission model is percentage.

  Apply through Udemy's affiliate page on Rakuten or their direct program. They accept education bloggers, career coaches, and skill development content creators.
• What is the commission rate for Udemy?

  Udemy pays 10% commission per course sale. With frequent sales that bring courses to $10-$15, typical commissions are $1-$2 per sale, though volume can compensate.
• How long is Udemy's cookie duration?

  Udemy uses a 7-day cookie window, which is relatively short. Courses are often impulse purchases though, so the short window is less of an issue.

  No, Udemy pays a one-time commission per course purchase. Each new course bought by the same user through your link generates a separate commission within the cookie window.
