Coursera's reputation makes it an easy sell to learners, and the higher tiers pay well. Individual courses only earn 20%, so I steer traffic toward the subscription and bundles.

Commissions are solid but the Net 30-60 schedule means you wait a while for payment. Once past the $50 minimum it has been reliable through PayPal.
