Two Icons. One Stage. One Affiliate Program.

Searching for the Iman Gadzhi affiliate program or the Russell Brunson affiliate program for 2026? They're the same thing — one product, one partner program operated by Prime Mover LLC, one set of tracking links, one leaderboard, one payout. Note it's separate from ClickFunnels' ongoing software affiliate program.

Iman Gadzhi, creator of Monetise

Commission Structure: Up to $1,032 Per Customer

You promote free registrations. The summit converts them across the full funnel. Per the official terms, you earn 40% of the Net Sale Amount — amounts actually collected, less refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and payment processing fees — on every commissionable purchase your referral makes.

Total Affiliate Earnings Per Full-Funnel Customer
$1,032

Approximate maximum across the full stack at announced prices. Actual commissions are calculated per transaction on Net Sale Amounts, which can vary because the organizers may split-test pricing.

Core Offer$1,995Monetise
Order Bump / OTO$995Companion offer
VIP Upgrade$25Event VIP ticket
Upsell$25Digital add-on

The second tier is real money too: refer another affiliate into the program and you earn 10% of the Net Sale Amount on every sale they make during the promotion — paid on top of (not deducted from) their own 40%. It stops at two tiers: you earn nothing on affiliates recruited by your recruits. Free event registrations themselves are not commissionable — only the four paid offers above.

Two Contests. Two Chances to Win.

You can enter both — and win both. $122.5K in cash prizes sits on top of your commissions, and every referral counts toward both leaderboards. Per the official terms, standings are based on verified, quality traffic — the organizers audit lead quality and can disqualify incentivized or artificial leads.

Affiliate Launch Calendar

Promoting before the calendar opens hurts you — the funnel page won't be live and your audience will forget by September. These dates come from the official program terms and can be modified by the organizers.

Aug 10

Organic Promotion Opens

The promotion period officially opens on or about August 10, 2026. Start driving free registrations through email, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and communities — and start the Opt-In Race.

Aug 17

Paid Promotion Opens

Paid traffic is cleared from this date — but only in compliance with the keyword rules below. Brand-name bidding stays off-limits.

Sept 6

Kick Off & Orientation

The Side Hustle Summit goes live from Dubai.

Sept 7–13

Live Training Days + Sales Window

The Monetise offer opens during the event. Every sale is tracked to your link for commissions and contest standings; last-click attribution applies when multiple affiliates referred the same buyer.

Sept 15

Cart Close

Final deadline — commissions and the leaderboards finalize, then the holdback clock starts running.

The Official Rules, Translated to Plain English

Most affiliates click "I Accept" without reading. Don't be most affiliates. We read the full Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (last updated July 20, 2026, operated by Prime Mover LLC of Eagle, Idaho) so you know exactly what you're signing. Here's every rule that actually affects your money.

1. Getting in isn't automatic

Enrollment is by application — you'll provide your legal name, payout details, tax documents, and examples of your current promotional practices, and the company has sole discretion over who qualifies. Accounts can't be sold or transferred, one account per person or entity, and you must report any change to your business name, ownership, or payout info in writing within 24 hours.

2. How the money actually clears

Commissions sit in a 30-day holdback that begins no earlier than 30 days after the event's final day. A sale must survive that window without a refund, chargeback, cancellation, or failed payment before your commission is earned. If a refund happens after you've been paid, the amount is clawed back from future commissions — or you repay it on demand. Before anything is paid at all, U.S. affiliates must file a W-9 and non-U.S. affiliates the applicable W-8; miss the 90-day paperwork window and those commissions are forfeited. Realistic expectation: first payouts land in mid-to-late October 2026 at the earliest.

3. What earns nothing

No commissions on your own purchases (or purchases through accounts you or your family control), on sales procured with cash rebates or incentives to buyers, on fraudulent or artificial transactions, or on sales from sanctioned territories. Incentivized leads are banned outright — no gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or payments for opt-ins — and so are bots, purchased lists, co-registration, and forced clicks. Contest standings are audited for lead quality, and bad traffic gets disqualified.

4. Advertising rules that can cost you everything

You must disclose your affiliate relationship plainly on every promotional post — "#ad" before any "more" truncation on social, using each platform's paid-partnership tools. Skipping disclosure is defined as a material breach. You cannot bid on brand keywords in any paid campaign — the banned list covers Side Hustle Summit, Iman Gadzhi, Russell Brunson, ClickFunnels, Monetise, Consulting.com, Funnel Hacking Live, and dozens of variations and misspellings. No direct-linking paid ads to checkout pages, and no "fake bridge pages" — pages that imitate official sales pages or use fake countdown timers, fake video players, or fake consent banners. No telemarketing, fax, or unsolicited texts, ever. When in doubt on keywords, ask the company first.

5. The income-claims rule (this one's for everyone's protection)

Affiliates are expressly prohibited from claiming that attending or purchasing guarantees anyone will make money. If you share your own results, they must be completely true and evidenced, and carry a disclaimer substantially like: "These were my results. Your results will vary based on a variety of factors, including your education, effort, and market factors. There is no guarantee you will make any money." You also can't market the event as a business opportunity or "business-in-a-box." Honestly? A program that writes FTC guidance into its own contract is a green flag — it means they intend to still be here next year.

6. The fine print worth a lawyer's minute

A non-disparagement clause survives the agreement — you agree not to publicly bash the company, hosts, or fellow affiliates. Breach the agreement and the company can terminate immediately and you forfeit all unpaid commissions. Consumer complaints you receive must be forwarded to the company within 24 hours. And disputes go to binding, confidential arbitration in Dubai under Dubai law, with class actions and jury trials waived. None of this is unusual for launch programs at this scale — but read the full document yourself before accepting, because your continued participation also binds you to any future modifications the company posts.

This summary is provided for convenience and isn't legal advice — the official Terms control. Read them in full during signup.

How to Join the Affiliate Program (Free)

Applying costs nothing. Three steps and you're on the leaderboard.

1

Apply on the partner page

Submit your application with your details and promotional practices. Approval is at the organizers' discretion. Approved partners also receive a bonus recording where Iman's team breaks down their 8-figure quarterly challenge system.

2

Grab your tracking links and assets

Once confirmed on the designated tracking platform, you get your personal link plus swipe files, email copy, and promotional creatives — including guerrilla-marketing assets from the global campaign. File your W-9/W-8 early so payouts don't stall later.

3

Promote from Aug 10

Drive genuine free registrations, climb both leaderboards, and get paid on every qualifying sale attributed to your link. Winners with small lists do it by attending the challenge with their audience — one top performer does it with just 8,000 subscribers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything affiliates ask before signing up, answered from the official terms and the partner briefing.

What is the Side Hustle Summit affiliate program?
It's the partner program operated by Prime Mover LLC (an Idaho company) for promoting the Side Hustle Summit, a virtual event scheduled for September 6–13, 2026, hosted by Iman Gadzhi and Russell Brunson. Affiliates promote free registrations, and when those registrants buy anything commissionable in the funnel, the affiliate earns commission on the sale.
How much does the affiliate program pay?
40% of the Net Sale Amount on first-tier sales — that's amounts actually collected, less refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and payment processing fees — which works out to roughly $1,032 per customer who buys the whole stack at announced prices. Plus 10% of Net Sale Amount on second-tier sales from affiliates you refer, and $122.5K in contest cash across the two leaderboards.
Which products are commissionable?
Per the official terms: the VIP ticket upgrade, the registration upsell, the event order bump, and the back-end Monetise program (anticipated at $1,995). The free event registration itself is not commissionable — leads only pay off when they buy.
When do affiliates actually get paid?
After a 30-day holdback that begins no earlier than 30 days following the event's final day — realistically mid-to-late October 2026 at the earliest. The sale must remain refund-free through the holdback, and your tax documentation (W-9 for U.S., W-8 for non-U.S.) must be on file. Refunds after payment are clawed back from future commissions.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. Applying is free with no purchase requirement. But it is an application — the company reviews your information and promotional practices and approves at its discretion. One account per person or entity.
When can affiliates start promoting?
Organic promotion opens on or about August 10, 2026; paid traffic is cleared from August 17. Promoting earlier hurts you anyway — the funnel page won't be live yet, and your audience will forget by September.
What advertising rules do I need to know?
The big four: (1) disclose your affiliate relationship on every promo — "#ad" before any truncation; (2) never bid on brand keywords like Side Hustle Summit, Iman Gadzhi, Russell Brunson, ClickFunnels, or Monetise in paid campaigns; (3) no fake bridge pages, fake timers, or direct-linking ads to checkout; (4) no telemarketing, fax, or unsolicited texts. Violations can forfeit all your commissions.
Can I tell my audience they'll make money?
No — the terms expressly prohibit guaranteeing income. Personal results must be true, evidenced, and carry a results-vary disclaimer. This protects your audience and keeps the whole program on the right side of the FTC.
Do I need a big audience to compete?
No. One top leaderboard performer highlighted at the partner briefing wins races with an 8,000-person email list — by attending the challenge with his audience and talking about it daily instead of dropping a link and wishing people luck. Engagement beats list size.
Is this the Iman Gadzhi affiliate program or the Russell Brunson affiliate program?
Both — one combined program covering the whole Side Hustle Summit funnel, and the first time Iman's team has ever allowed outside affiliates. It's separate from ClickFunnels' ongoing software affiliate program, which pays independently.
How does attribution work if two affiliates refer the same person?
Per the terms, the tracking platform's methodology decides; absent contrary data, the most recent affiliate referral before the sale gets credit. Affiliate-hopping, self-referrals, cookie-stuffing, and forced clicks are grounds for revoked commissions.
Is the Side Hustle Summit affiliate program legit?
It's operated by a registered Idaho company with formal written terms, FTC-compliant conduct rules baked into the contract, and hosts with long payout histories — ClickFunnels alone has paid over $200 million to affiliates. That said, earnings are never guaranteed, commissions depend on your audience and effort, and you should read the full terms (including the Dubai arbitration clause) before accepting. Our broader trust analysis: is it legit?
