I’m thinking about linking the ChatGPT affiliate program in my tech newsletter. I know AI tools are super popular right now, but I haven’t seen much proof of earnings. Have you guys gotten paid yet?
Yes—people are getting paid, but in my experience it’s a conversion-rate + attribution-window game more than “AI hype”; cold newsletter traffic typically lands ~1–3% click-through and ~0.5–2% trial/paid conversion unless you pre-sell with demos and tight segmentation. If you run it, track with UTMs + unique SubIDs, push readers into a 2-step funnel (lead magnet → onboarding sequence), and verify payouts via your affiliate dashboard/PayPal logs before scaling sends; otherwise you’ll get “ghost conversions” from weak last-click attribution.
