Create an account, open your dashboard and copy your code and link. Share it with a short personal message about why the course helps.

Realistic expectations
Income from referrals and side work varies widely. A few friends buying a course earns a small amount; an active community of learners can earn more over time. Nobody can guarantee a specific income, and you should be cautious of anyone who does.
Stay safe and ethical
Most employers want a credential and some experience before fully remote work.
Be honest with the people you refer, disclose that you earn a commission, and never pressure anyone to buy.
