What is the Side Hustle Summit?

Side Hustle Summit 2026 is a free, fully virtual event built around an AI-powered side hustle angle. Five live episodes run September 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13, at 1 PM Eastern, and the official pages headline a $373 per day target and $55.6 million generated by attendees of three previous events. It marks the first time Iman Gadzhi and Russell Brunson have ever shared a stage, with Russell headlining Episode 04.

For affiliates, the model is simple: you promote free registration. The event itself converts attendees into buyers of the $1,995 Monetise program and its $995 companion offer, and you get paid on every sale tracked to your link. Two of the best closers in the industry do the selling for you.

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, and this is it.

Iman Gadzhi

Founder of IAG Media · Creator of Monetise

Iman created Monetise, the $1,995 core offer sold during the summit. Every commission on this page ultimately traces back to his program, which is why the Iman Gadzhi affiliate program and the Monetise affiliate program are the same registration.

Russell Brunson

Co-founder of ClickFunnels · Headlines Episode 04

Russell co-hosts the summit and headlines Episode 04. Promotions tied to his involvement are tracked through this same partner program — separate from the ongoing ClickFunnels affiliate program, which has its own terms.

Three names, one affiliate program

People search for this opportunity under four different names because four different things are attached to it: two hosts, one product and one event. They all resolve to the same partner program, tracked through the same FirstPromoter dashboard, paying the same commissions.

The Iman Gadzhi affiliate program

If you are looking for the Iman Gadzhi affiliate program, this is it for 2026. Iman Gadzhi created Monetise and co-hosts the Side Hustle Summit, and the partner program for both runs through this single FirstPromoter portal. There is no separate Iman Gadzhi affiliate scheme to apply to.

The Russell Brunson affiliate program

The Russell Brunson affiliate program for this launch is the same program. Russell Brunson co-hosts the summit and headlines Episode 04, and promotions tied to his involvement are tracked here. Note that this is distinct from the ClickFunnels affiliate program, which is a separate ongoing software programme and pays differently.

The Monetise affiliate program

The Monetise affiliate program is the commission engine behind everything on this page. Monetise is the $1,995 core offer, so when people talk about promoting Monetise as an affiliate, they mean driving free registrations to the Side Hustle Summit and earning on the Monetise sales that follow.

The Side Hustle Summit affiliate program

The Side Hustle Summit affiliate program is the official name of the partner program, and the one used on the FirstPromoter portal. It is the umbrella that the three names above all sit under: one registration, one set of tracking links, one leaderboard, one payout.

What you'll be promoting: Monetise

Monetise is Iman Gadzhi's flagship program that teaches people how to build and monetize a personal brand: choosing a niche, creating content, growing an audience, and turning attention into income through affiliate marketing, sponsorships and consulting. It sells for $1,995, with a $995 companion offer presented during the summit.

That price point is exactly why the Monetise affiliate program pays so well: instead of chasing $20 commissions on low-ticket products, one summit attendee who buys the full stack can earn you up to $1,032 from a single free registration.

Commission structure: up to $1,032 per customer

Short answer: affiliates earn a 40% commission worth up to $1,032 per customer, plus 10% lifetime on tier-2 referrals. You promote free registrations. The summit converts them. You get paid on the whole funnel.

Step 1

Free registration

Send traffic to the summit opt-in page with your tracking link. Every registrant is cookied to you and counts toward the Opt-In Race.

Step 2

Core offer: Monetise ($1,995)

During the live training, attendees are offered the Monetise program. You earn a commission on every sale attributed to your link.

Step 3

Companion offer + upsells ($995+)

A $995 companion offer and additional upsells stack your earnings to up to $1,032 per customer.

$122,500 in prizes. Two contests. Two chances to win.

Short answer: the $122,500 prize pool is split across two contests you can enter and win at the same time. The Opt-In Race pays $15,000 and $5,000; the Sales Leaderboard pays $50,000, $25,000, $15,000, $10,000 and $7,500. Commissions and prize eligibility run simultaneously.
