Becoming an instructor is easy with Arbington. We offer higher payment options than any other platform and strongly believe in transparency.

You maintain ownership over your content; we do not own your content.

Who can teach?

At Arbington, we strongly believe anybody can teach. Every single person on this big blue beautiful planet has a skill they can teach, whether they know it or not.

We look for topics in a range of subjects. However, there are some subjects we tend to stay away from, including:

• "How to make money fast". Anything that feels like a scheme or promises a certain amount of money in a certain time frame is not allowed.
• "How to get followers fast". This often breaks the terms and conditions of many social media sites and is not permitted.
• Teaching on other platforms. We'll be honest here - we're a business and can't promote competitors.
• Dating or romance. We want everybody to be treated equally and respectfully.
• Medical misinformation content is not permitted. This includes anti-immunization information or telling people not to take modern medicines.
• Dangerous activity. For your safety we don't want people building rockets at home, for example.
• Nudity. Keep it classy as to not offend anybody.
• Weapons. This is for everybody's safety. Stay safe out there!
• Violence or bodily harm to yourself, others or animals. We want everybody (and their pets) to stay safe and healthy.
• Illegal or unethical activity. This incldues subjects which may be legal in certain areas of the world, but not everywhere. For example: cannabis use, torrenting software, or harrasment.
• Discriminatory courses. We want everybody to be treated equally and with respect.
• Misinformation. There is a very real problem with misinformation these days. You're a teacher, let's keep it factual.
• Content for young people. We're simply not setup to provide moderation for children. Please keep all content aimed at adults.

Course pricing

All courses at Arbington are priced at $19.97. We don't believe in tricking students with higher $200 price points just to discount every course two times every month. We'd rather be transparent about our pricing up front.

Students can also subscribe to Arbington for USD $15/month and get access to every course we have.

How earnings work at Arbington

Earnings are split in three directions.

Organic traffic
If a new student finds your course and buys it, you will receive 70% of the income.

Your promotions
If you bring a student to your course using a coupon you will receive 97% of the income. The remaining 3% we reserve for processing your transaction.

Premium
Students can subscribe to Arbington Premium for USD $15/month. All these subscriptions are pooled together and 50% of the revenue goes to the instructors. It's split by minutes watched. Let's break this down for clarity.

It's all combined Whether you use a coupon code to promote your course, students organically find your course, or an Arbington Premium student watches you course - it's all added together.

Trial periods

Course purchases
If a student buys your course as a one-time payment (using a coupon code or paying full price) they are able to refund the course within 30 days. This is part of our high quality content promise. We know you make high quality courses, so there should be no worry about refunds.

Arbington Premium
Arbington Premium members get a 14 day trial and access to every course on the platform. Again, this is inline with our promise of high quality content.

When is payday?

Once per month you'll receive a PayPal transfer. At this time, we can't pinpoint exactly when that will be because we're still finding our feet when it comes to efficiently sending money. But we're aiming for the 3rd week of every month because other major platforms tend to pay in the first and second week each month. Another income stream during the 3rd week of each month would be an ideal situation for most people. Check back here in the future to see if this changes. (We'll also send instructors an email if this ever changes).
