What teachers are saying about us
What teachers are saying about us
“Writing a course for Highbrow couldn’t be simpler. The whole process from idea submission to course launch was smooth. I was grateful for the feedback provided to me on my first draft and was pleased when I received some feedback whilst my course was live, which helped improve the content. Writing a course for a Highbrow was useful because it challenged me to prioritize content so that it would fit appropriately with the 10-part course format and theme.”

“Working with Highbrow was such an amazingly pleasant surprise! The entire team was a pleasure to work with and always wanting to put out the very best, high quality content. I have also been introduced to so many great new students through the Highbrow platform. We have been able to help more people, teach more students and grow our platform by putting courses on Highbrow. I love it!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
So… how do you guys make money?
Our primary goal is to connect great educators with lifelong learners. However, we’re a business too, and so we do charge our members an annual fee to keep the lights on. Highbrow members support Highbrow by paying $60/year. Learn more about membership.
OK, so then how do teachers get paid?
We understand the value of having amazing educators. So we do our best to ensure our teachers are paid fairly for their time. Each 3 months, through our revenue sharing program, we set aside between 30% and 50% of all membership revenue and pay teachers on a sliding scale, using an algorithm that accounts for class quality and engagement.
Teachers who host at least one course, and have at least 30 students in total, are immediately eligible for this program. Compensation is paid every time a student successfully completes all ten lessons of a course. We feel this helps motivate teachers to engage with their students and encourage them to see a course through.
But look, if you're just here for hard numbers, here's the skinny: each student who completes your course will give you approximately $1. For example, if 1,000 students complete your course, you'll earn $1000.
Great! What should I teach?
Whatever you want! We’ve had teachers help students with everything from business and productivity, to art and philosophy. Browse our topics to see where your course fits in. If you don’t see a topic that matches your content, contact us to suggest a new one.
How is the content delivered?
You’ll need to break your material up into 10 short lessons (400-600 words) and a quick, end-of-course quiz. We’ll then package it all up into beautifully designed email lessons and send them out to your subscribers.
Why should I create a course on Highbrow?
Highbrow gives you an audience. With more than 500K+ subscribers, your message will be heard by learners across the globe. We’ll take care of promotion, design, delivery, and all the nuts and bolts required to get your content out. Plus, you’ll have the chance to earn through our revenue sharing program.
