About the program

Skillshare is the subscription learning platform for creative skills: illustration, design, photography, writing, animation, productivity and creative business, taught in short project based classes. Its free trial and creator heavy community make it a natural fit for YouTube and creative blogs, and it has sponsored a large share of the creative YouTube world.

The affiliate program runs on Impact and pays 20 percent of revenue for each new customer who starts a paid membership, with a 30 day cookie. Skillshare has advertised 40 percent, up to $67 per referral, during promotions and for some partner tiers, so the exact rate depends on the campaign in your dashboard. Payouts are monthly on a net 30 basis with a low $10 threshold. Applications are reviewed.

Because the trial is free and the annual plan is affordable, conversion from creative tutorial content is strong, and the low threshold means small affiliates get paid quickly.

Skillshare converts from how to learn illustration or Procreate guides, best online art classes roundups, creative side hustle content, productivity course reviews and teacher profiles for popular Skillshare instructors. Video content where you show a class you took is the format Skillshare's own sponsorships proved works best. Class specific deep links let you send readers straight to the lesson you reviewed.

Terms are as published by the program and can change. Confirm on the program's own page before you rely on them.
