What the headline terms mean in practice
The published numbers are only useful when you understand the conversion event, attribution, application friction and promotion constraints behind them.
The referral generally needs to become an eligible purchase. Compare the payout with product price, conversion difficulty, exclusions and reversal rules rather than reading the commission in isolation.
30 days is a relatively compact attribution window, so the strongest fit is usually content that reaches readers closer to a decision.
Moderate — free to join, but applicants must have an aligned demonstrated channel/audience plus Skillshare and Impact accounts.. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
Eligible channels include aligned blogs, Facebook groups, Pinterest, Instagram, X/Twitter audiences and email newsletters; applicants need at least one demonstrated audience/channel. Not publicly summarized on the reviewed Skillshare affiliate page; use the active Impact agreement for paid-search and trademark rules.
