The affiliate programme

The affiliate programme pays commission on people who subscribe through your link. It is available from inside the app, so there is no separate platform to sign up to and no approval to wait for.

Your link

You get a referral link tied to your account. Anyone who arrives through it is attributed to you, and the attribution survives them going away and coming back later rather than requiring them to sign up in the same visit.

The link works anywhere: a YouTube description, a newsletter, a comparison post of your own. What it cannot do is attribute someone who was already a ScaleReach user before clicking it.

What you can see

The dashboard shows referred signups, how many converted to a paid plan, and your earnings. Signups and conversions are tracked separately, which is the honest way round — a burst of signups that never subscribe earns nothing, and it is better to see that directly than to infer it from a payout that did not arrive.

Getting paid

Commission accrues on paid conversions, and payouts happen once you clear the minimum threshold. Referral of yourself, or of accounts you control, does not qualify.

The full terms, including commission rate, cookie window, payout schedule and what counts as invalid traffic, are in the affiliate programme agreement. That is the authoritative version, and worth reading before you build anything substantial on top of it.

What works

The referrals that convert tend to come from people who have actually used the product and can say something specific about it — a video showing your own clips being generated, or a comparison written from experience. Generic link-dropping converts poorly and is the first thing flagged as invalid traffic.
