Competitive commission rates: Earn 15% commission (up to $127 USD per enrolment) on all-access plans purchased using your links, with a 30-day referral window.
Unlimited income potential: The more content you promote, the more commissions you can earn for purchases through your affiliate tracking links.
Exclusive discounts: Provide more value and affordable pricing with our 10% affiliate discount code, for your audience.
Professionally designed assets: Take advantage of beautifully designed banners to help you drive sales. Test and see what works best!
Dedicated Affiliate Program Manager: Have questions? Your Affiliate Program Manager will be happy to help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I join the CFI Affiliate Program?

Our Affiliate Program has been carefully designed as an easy way for high-performing blogs, influencers, and organizations to monetize their content and provide more value for their audiences in finance, tech, professional development, and related verticals.

Affiliate programs traditionally require a lot of effort with very little return for the affiliate partners. Instead, we’ve flipped that model on its head. CFI Affiliate Partners earn 15% commission for each student who purchases an all-access plan using their unique referral links and banners. Our Self-Study Plan starts at $497 USD / Year, and our Full Immersion Plan starts at $847 USD / Year—meaning you could be earning up to $127 USD for each learner you refer, on their first purchase. Participation in the program is totally free and there is no limit on how much you can earn.

In addition to a generous commission structure, as an Affiliate Partner, you will gain access to a dedicated account manager, and an extensive asset library to help you succeed.

Which products and courses from CFI can I earn commission on?

All of CFI’s 150+ on-demand courses, accredited Certification Programs, and specializations are available in our standard Self-Study or Full Immersion plans. To learn more about our full list of programs and specializations click here.

Is there a private offer for the most successful affiliates, or can a unique offer be arranged?

High-performing affiliates may be invited to apply for one of our private offers which include enhanced incentives. This is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

How are commissions calculated and paid out?

Commissions are earned on a direct, last-click basis for all Affiliate Partners with a 30-day referral window. All commission payments through Rakuten are eligible to be after a 30-day period. Affiliates’ commission will then be paid out by Rakuten based on Rakuten’s payment policies and schedule. Since CFI operates on an annual subscription model, both affiliate commissions (up to 15%) and student discounts (up to 10%) apply to the first purchase only.

What support does CFI offer to Affiliate Partners?

We are dedicated to the success of our Affiliate Partners. As such, CFI has an extensive library of valuable free resources, articles, ebooks, downloadable templates, and video tutorials. Our online library enables our affiliates to save time and money on content creation by linking to the complementary resources that we have developed to educate your audience and help them achieve their professional goals. We encourage our affiliate partners to share CFI content on your site, blog, email newsletters, or social media channels to broaden your reach and provide value for your audience! In addition, all approved CFI Affiliate Partners will receive a dedicated account manager who will work with you to answer any questions via email in 2-3 business days.

What platform does CFI use to manage their Affiliate Program?

CFI’s chosen platform for the Affiliate Program is Rakuten Affiliate Marketing. Rakuten provides an integrated platform that allows advertisers and publishers to share marketing banner ads, receive unique affiliate links, track commission sales, and receive payouts directly through their platform.

What platforms can I use to post my unique affiliate links to reach potential students?

Most of our affiliates post their CFI affiliate referral links on their blog or organization’s websites, e-newsletters, or social media pages in the form of content, articles, reviews, and resources. However, we are open to other forms of content (e.g. podcasts or videos). If you are considering using an alternative medium in your affiliate efforts with CFI, please contact CFI’s Marketing Team via email at [email protected] in order to receive approval as well as design, branding, and content support.
