I’ve been a long-time Scalenut affiliate, and I can tell you something:
It’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.
They won’t pay my commissions.
They told me that I haven’t posted enough content to get $500+ that I’ve earned there.
So basically, they expect me to work for free, and then they MIGHT pay me the commissions.
Also, based on my years of work in this field, their tool is just another AI writing tool that does nothing truly impressive.
My recommendation: Stay away from them as much as you can.
In this review, I will show you why and what happened.
Disclaimer: These are my own, personal results and opinions based on years of work in AI/AI SEO space with hundreds of partners.
Commission Issues
I have about $400 in commissions on Scalenut.
I’ve asked the team to send those my way for at least six months now… But they refuse to do so.
They always tell me, “We’ll come back to this later”. And they never will.
Big Customers, No Rewards
Also, if you bring in a high-enough paying customer, they will remove your commission from that.
Yes, it makes no sense. Nobody else does this. But let me show you an example.
Here’s my Scalenut affiliate dashboard:
Here’s what’s happening:
I made a huge sale on Apr 17th. I was really happy about it. $900 in commission.
I mean, what’s not to love?
Then, almost two weeks later, they decided to remove the commission from my name.
I asked them about it, and they just replied with the same nonsense as always.
I mean, if this were someone new, it would be pretty frustrating for them to be told that “Hey, you just earned $1,000” and then weeks later, “No actually, we’ll keep it.”
What a joke, honestly!
Terms & Conditions: Clear but Unfavorable
If you read the terms and conditions, you’ll be aware of this. So for legal reasons, I won’t say anything is wrong there.
But c’mon.
Affiliate programs should be simple: You get paid for customers you bring.
That’s it.
I never thought I’d actually have to dig deeper into the rules since I’ve worked with over 300 companies and never seen such a joke.
Verdict: Proceed with Caution
Honestly, stay away from this program.
It’s a money-hungry company that won’t care about you as an affiliate. They won’t pay you your commissions, and their responses make no sense.
There are way better AI writing tools that actually pay you for the sales you bring in.
Don’t get fooled.
