Are you a top student, tutor, or publisher in a particular subject area? Have you built an impressive armament of study materials for that subject, standardized exam, or professional certification? 

Whatever “your jam is”, why not turn your knowledge into flashcards and make money from selling them? Passive income, baby!

Brainscape is the perfect partner to help you sell flashcards online and even start or grow an education business. And if you’ve already created Brainscape flashcards for your course, subject, exam, or certification, even better.

Interested? Fill out this quick form and read about our Authorized Creator program.

Alternatively, if you also have your own website or business through which you'd like to SELL access codes to your content (or bundle with your existing offerings), be sure to indicate that it in the linked form, and we'll reach out to you for a Reseller discussion. (This would definitely apply if you’re an institution, association, or publisher!)

How to create flashcards for your curriculum (in minutes!)

Check out the above video for an easy overview of how partnering with Brainscape works, then read the detailed step-by-step below. (And if you have already created Brainscape flashcards for your course, skip straight to step 4.)

Step 1: Create a Brainscape account. (It’s kinda necessary if you want to make and sell flashcards with us.)

Step 2: Upload your study materials, whether they're already in a neat question-and-answer spreadsheet format, or whether they’re PowerPoint, PDF, doc, or video script.

Step 3: Brainscape’s AI will magically transform your content into hundreds or even thousands of digital flashcards that you could already study in the Brainscape mobile app. Of course, just like any first iteration, these flashcards will require some TLC, which brings us to…

Step 4: Enlist a few of your most trusted collaborators to help you manually edit your flashcards to make sure that they are as clear, complete, and accurate as possible. (Here are our flashcard creation best practices!)

Step 5: Share a link to your flashcards with beta testers—perhaps existing students of yours, who are already studying your subject. Your flashcards will also be public for people to demo on Brainscape's marketplace, unless you change your class settings to private.

While working through your flashcards, these testers will submit “edit suggestions”, which you can either accept or reject. Either way, this feedback will help you improve your flashcards even further! 

Step 6: Once your flashcards are ready for prime time, you can now apply to be an Authorized Creator (<-- fill out this form) so you can earn royalties for Brainscape users who upgrade to unlock your complete flashcard collection.

And, remember: if you also have your own website or business through which you'd like to SELL access codes to your content (or bundle with your existing offerings), please  indicate it in the form, and we'll reach out to you for a Reseller discussion.

It’s that simple. Within a few simple steps, you can:

  1. Enhance your educational offerings by introducing a supplemental study tool that will help your learners retain your instructional materials;
  2. Create an asset that you can then use as a lead magnet for increased membership/student enrollment and audience awareness; and
  3. Increase your revenue from selling flashcards within minimal up-front effort.

Why Brainscape? What sets our app apart from other flashcard apps?

Brainscape flashcard mobile study experience
Through its engaging and colorful user interface, Brainscape’s flashcards deliver facts in short question-and-answer pairs. These are neatly organized into decks, which you can study anytime, anywhere, online or off. Frequent checkpoint stats allow you to keep a finger on your study progress!

Brainscape is a web and mobile study app that’s scientifically proven to optimize learning and retention. It's based on the concept of "smart flashcards".  We use a gamified algorithm that combines the key cognitive science principles of spaced repetition, active recall, and metacognition in a way guaranteed to help students learn faster and remember longer.

It's like having a personalized AI study coach in your pocket!

Millions of students and educators use Brainscape to collaboratively create and share their own flashcards for thousands of other exams for which we don't yet offer expert-curated content.  

Brainscape also offers a growing marketplace of certified flashcards for several dozen professional exams, which we create in partnership with credentialing bodies, publishers, and educators.

We've recently developed groundbreaking AI-driven innovations that allow us to create and distribute flashcards, in partnership with publishers and associations, faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Our goal at Brainscape is to make our scientifically proven study experience accessible for all the subjects on the planet… and we look forward to partnering with you to make that a reality.
