Affiliate Marketing Course

From fundamentals to measurement

This Coursera course starts with what affiliate marketing is and how the model works, then moves into forming partner relationships and building affiliate links. Promotion channels form the core of the middle section, covering email, social media, blogs and forums.

Who it suits

• Beginners who want a structured introduction with a clear progression.
• Marketers who already use email or social media and want to add affiliate revenue.
• Learners interested in analytics, since performance tracking is part of the outline.

What to expect

The skill list points to email automation and marketing analytics, so expect more attention to data than a typical hobbyist guide gives. The description is a little rough, so read the syllabus on the course page before deciding whether it covers the channels you care about.
