How Earnings Work

Content partners earn revenue through monthly royalty payments and by driving new audiences to the Seably Marketplace using affiliate payouts. This is how it works!

Royalty-Pool Earnings

Seably works under a shared economy model. Each month we take 10–15% of our revenues and put them into a Royalty-Pool, shared with the creators.

The basis of the royalty-pool is that we take 10–15% of our monthly revenues and re-distribute the money using our distribution algorithm depending on the number of completed courses, to the content creators.

Revenues are generated by organizations and individuals that pay for using our services and content. The algorithm makes sure each content provider gets a fair share of the platform earnings, using variables such as course value and the amount of interaction on the marketplace. The remaining revenue goes towards supporting and investing in the platform.

Example: On average, teachers can earn 150€ a month on Seably, with repeat, long-term teachers earning upwards of 3.000€.

Common Questions

– No not all courses. Courses that are published as free or courses that are published privately only available within an organisation are not eligible for royalty-pool payouts.

Besides that, all courses published to the Seably Marketplace receive monthly payouts when learners interact with your courses.

Seably operates under a subscription model for organizations called Seably for Business. Organizations pay a monthly or annual fee for a company-wide subscription. The basis of the royalty pool is that we take 30–80% of our monthly revenues and re-distribute the money using our distribution algorithm depending on the number of completed courses to the content creators. The algorithm has multiple factors that influence payout sizes, the most important described below:

1. Number of Completed Courses

The foundation of your royalty payouts is the number of times learners with connected licenses have taken your courses. Each completed course grants you royalty payouts.

2. Value of Your Course

Seably Equilibrium™ assigns a value to your courses based on multiple factors, including single purchase price, course length, and regulatory compliance. This value influences how much each course completion will grant you.

3. Interaction on the Marketplace

The third variable relates to your target audience on the Marketplace. If you target a niche segment of our users, this will increase the payout per completed course. If your course is targeting the mainstream audience, each completed course will generate a bit less.
