Commonly asked questions

Anybody can teach just about anything. We have some restrictions on what you can't teach and a quality review process. More on that below.

Overall, we try to provide a high quality and safe learning experience for all students. With that said, we don't allow the following subjects:

"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.

Yes, there is a review process. We ensure that every course is high quality with 720p videos, descriptive lesson names, and that the content doesn't break our rules.

This process usually takes about a week and you'll receive an email when your course is published.

Courses are either free or sold for US $19.97. You can also create coupon codes to reduce that price.

If you're a Premium Teacher on Arbington.com, you can also list your courses at a higher price to add price anchoring value.

There are 3 ways to earn with us.

Subscriptions.
Students can subscribe to Arbington for US $15.00/month and access every course. We then take that subscription money every month and pay out 50% of that to the teachers. Income-per-teacher is based on how many minutes a subscriber watches your course for. The longer they stay with you, the more money you'll make.

Organic traffic.
Students who decide they just want to buy a single course will earn you a minimum of 70%. Since all courses are sold for $19.97 you'll earn $13.98, unless they used a custom coupon code you created — in that case you'll earn 97% of the sale ($19.37).

If you're a Premium Teacher you'll earn a minimum of 85% of every sale, and the student will be asked if they want to share their contact information with you so you can offer them even more.

Coupon codes.
If a student uses one of your custom coupon codes to buy your course, you'll earn 97% of the sale. This is the fastest way to earn the most amount of money.

Yes! For subscribers, they get a 14 day free trial to access all courses. And for students who buy individual courses, they get a 30 day refund period. These are the same policies as most of our competitors.

We pay out around the 21^st of every month via PayPal. Note: for one-time buyers they have a 30 day moneyback guarantee in which we can't pay you for until that period is over.
