Instructor Payments

There is no fee to create and host a course on LearnFormula. You can publish as many paid courses as you like. We believe in a sustainable partnership where instructors are rewarded for creating amazing content and bringing students to the platform, and LearnFormula is rewarded for driving traffic to our instructors.

About the instructor revenue share

LearnFormula operates under a flat fee payment system for paid courses. As an instructor, fee payment is:

  • LearnFormula Organic → Standard rate set based on pre-negotiated term on organic LearnFormula sales where no Coupon is used.

All promotional rates are automatically opted in. If you’re opted in to any of our marketing programs, i.e., LearnFormula Package Credits, and the marketing boost program, your fee would be up to 50% of pre-negotiated rate.

These programs are completely optional. That said, instructors who participate in LearnFormula ’s Marketing Programs can make more than instructors who don't participate.
