How to Earn Affiliate Commissions Reviewing AI Tools

You share a tracked link to a tool. When someone signs up or pays through it, the company pays you a commission. Many AI tools run affiliate programs, often with recurring commissions on subscriptions.

Trust is the product. Commissions are the reward.

• Look for “Affiliates” or “Partners” links in a tool’s website footer
• Check affiliate networks and partner platforms
• Read each program’s terms: commission, cookie length, and rules

• AI tools for one audience, such as designers, marketers, or students
• Or one category, such as AI video or AI writing
• A focused niche builds authority faster

• Use the tool for real tasks, not just the homepage
• Note pricing, limits, and what the free plan includes
• Record screenshots and results
• Compare with two alternatives

• Who the tool is for, and who it is not for
• What it does well and where it falls short
• Current pricing, with the date you checked
• A clear verdict

Turn my testing notes into a review outline: who it is for, key features, real pros and cons, pricing as of [date], best alternatives, and a verdict. Use only my notes; flag anything I need to verify.

Pages like “Tool A vs Tool B” and “best alternatives to Tool C” match what buyers search for when they are ready to decide.

• Short demos of real use cases
• Screen recordings showing results
• Links in descriptions and bios, clearly disclosed

• Say clearly near the top that you may earn a commission
• Follow advertising rules like the FTC’s in the US and the ASA’s in the UK
• Use platform tools for paid partnerships when relevant

Send a weekly email with tested tools and honest picks. Your list keeps earning even when search traffic or social reach changes.

• Track clicks and conversions per link
• Update reviews when prices or features change
• Remove tools that get worse or shut down

• Reviewing tools you never used
• Recommending only tools that pay
• Hiding the affiliate relationship
• Copying feature lists from the tool’s website
