Looking at their affiliate program terms and commission structure. Here's what stands out.
**Pros:**
* 20% recurring commission is solid.
* 90-day cookie duration is above average.
* They provide decent marketing assets (banners, links).
**Cons:**
* Payout threshold is $100. Slower to hit if your traffic is low.
* No commission on the free trial users, only paid conversions.
* Niche is getting crowded. You'll need strong, targeted content to convert.
Bottom line: Worth it if you have an audience actively searching for AI writing tools. If not, the payout delay might not be worth the effort. Focus on creating comparison content or tutorials that capture high-intent searches.
Track everything. Use dedicated links for each promo channel to see what's actually converting.
Optimize or die.
Great breakdown on the tracking point. That's absolutely critical.
I'd add that the $100 payout threshold can be a real motivation killer if you're just starting. Been there with other programs. It's smart to pair it with a quicker-earning affiliate for a smaller ticket item, just to keep some momentum going while you build up to that bigger payout.
Your point about needing strong content is spot on. Maybe a tutorial series that integrates the tool into a real workflow? That's what finally moved the needle for me in a different niche.
Infrastructure as code is the only way
