Is the TEFL Affiliate Program right for me?

25 July 2024 • TEFL

A TEFL Affiliate Program can sound like an exciting incentive – but is that clever marketing or a worthwhile investment for someone like you?

Our simple guide explores exactly who is a good candidate for the Affiliate Program and what you need to get sorted before you start.

Just read on to find out more.

What is the TEFL UK Affiliate Program?

Put most simply, the TEFL UK Affiliate Program was designed to help more people access TEFL UK courses. Through people that they know or already interact with – be that in person, online, or both.

This process centres around a unique affiliate code, which you share through your website, blog, or social media accounts. Buyers of TEFL UK courses then input this code during purchase which enables you to receive a commission to your PayPal account.

With an affiliate program like ours, you can earn extra money by sharing your passion for English language education with others – regardless of the size of your online presence.

Should you join the Affiliate Program?

While it is open to absolutely anyone, there are a few traits which make you an excellent candidate for the Affiliate Program. These include:

Being passionate about teaching and English language skills

If you are interested in teaching or are passionate about sharing the English language, you might well be the perfect candidate for sharing the TEFL UK Affiliate Program with others.

Put simply, this is because your ideology aligns with the aims of each TEFL UK course!

Each course is designed to give students the teaching skills and pedagogical understanding they need to teach English as a foreign language to non-English speakers while boosting fun and engagement – things you yourself are interested in!

Completing a TEFL UK course previously

You don’t need to have completed a TEFL UK qualification to share the Affiliate Program with others, but if you have, you will likely have a unique insight and perspective to share with others.

This can be a huge benefit to your followers or subscribers, as you can:

• Lift the lid on the actualities of courses.
• Explore how you managed to complete the qualification – focusing on your work/life balance and studying tips.
• Share your teaching experience or further reading which helped you.
• Discuss popular queries from prospective TEFL UK teachers to help answer common questions.
• Help them to imagine signing up – something that can be stressful to nervous or anxious learners.
• Give top tips and tricks to maximise success.

This can, in turn, give you plenty of previously untapped content to share and earn you extra money from course sales.

Wanting to add an extra revenue stream to your digital marketing platform

While it isn’t considered very British to talk about money, we can’t overlook the financial benefits that come from the TEFL Affiliate Program.

It allows you to share your passions and interests with others, while also earning lucrative commissions on every course sale that appears right in your personal PayPal account at the end of the month – just like a salary!

How much you share the courses and how long you spend marketing is up to you – you are in charge of how much you earn.

This makes the TEFL Affiliate Program absolutely ideal for people who:

• Want to escape the traditional 9-5
• Are looking to make social media their full-time job
• Need multiple ways to earn
• Are comfortable being self-employed
• Would prefer to reduce their working hours without the associated loss in pay
• Are seeking a better work/life balance
• Need to make your career work around commitments like children, pets, elderly parents, volunteering, etc.

It’s also worth noting that there are no minimum sales or engagement targets that you need to hit and you don’t need to keep beating your numbers from the previous month. We provide a user-friendly affiliate dashboard so you can track your sales, clicks, and overall performance but you’ll never be pressured to achieve more.

What do I need to start the TEFL Affiliate Program?

To help you hit the ground running, we would recommend you have the following to make the best of the opportunity.

• A way of communicating with subscribers or followers

Be this via social media, email marketing, newsletters, a website, or even a blog – it’s up to you.

• A passion for teaching English as a foreign language and education

A genuine interest in TEFL UK courses will make your posts and content much more engaging and is an easy way to earn more commission.

• A PayPal account

You need a way to access all the money you’ll be earning…
