Codecademy
Codecademy's affiliate program lets publishers promote Codecademy Pro memberships and earn commissions on qualifying subscription purchases. The official program page invites publishers and content creators to promote Codecademy's learning products. It explicitly distinguishes coupon or loyalty publishers from content creators and permits the possibility of higher commissions for special placements. Codecademy describes the program as a way to earn commission for every referred Pro membership.
