The Side Hustle Summit Affiliate Program lets you promote the Side Hustle Summit and earn affiliate commissions when someone you referred buys the Monetise program at this event. You get your own tracked affiliate partner link so the system knows exactly who was referred by you.
The Side Hustle Summit is a free virtual event hosted by Russell Brunson and Iman Gadzhi and is designed for people who want to turn their skills, knowledge, or experience into a more structured side hustle.
If your audience is already asking what they could sell, how to find customers, where AI can help, or how to build a business without doing everything manually, SHS gives you a relevant event to share with them. They can register for free and explore practical ideas around offers, digital products, customer acquisition, sales funnels, and systems for growth.
Once you join the partner program, you receive tracking links, promotional resources, a partner dashboard, and campaign reporting to help you promote the event. You can also earn commissions when people you refer make qualifying purchases under the current partner terms.

The Side Hustle Summit Affiliate Program is the partner program for people who want to promote Side Hustle Summit and receive credit for qualifying purchases generated through their referral links.
The first thing you promote is free registration for Side Hustle Summit 2026. That means your article, email, video, newsletter, social post, podcast, or community message can introduce the event and what your audience may get from it without asking them to make an immediate purchase.
For a complete overview of the event itself, see our Side Hustle Summit 2026 guide.
Questions the Summit can help your audience explore:
If you already create content around these topics, the Summit can fit naturally into what you are already talking about with readers, subscribers, viewers, followers, or community members.
Many people interested in starting a side hustle begin with professional experience, knowledge, skills, interests, or a problem they know how to solve rather than with a finished product.
The Summit explores how those starting points can be shaped into an offer with a clearer purpose and target customer.
Creating an offer is only one part of the process. The event also covers positioning, online marketing, and customer acquisition so attendees can think more clearly about how the right people will discover what they sell.
A side hustle becomes harder to manage when every task depends on the owner.
SHS also explores AI, automation, sales funnels, and business systems that can make parts of marketing and delivery more repeatable as the business grows.
Side Hustle Summit 2026 is hosted by Russell Brunson and Iman Gadzhi.
Russell Brunson is the co-founder of ClickFunnels and is known for his work on sales funnels, offers, customer journeys, and online marketing systems.
Iman Gadzhi is an entrepreneur and online educator associated with digital products, agency businesses, creator partnerships, software, and online business education.
Their perspectives are complementary: Brunson is closely associated with funnels, offers, and customer journeys, while Gadzhi's work spans digital products, online education, agencies, and creator-led businesses.
General admission to Side Hustle Summit is free.
Your audience can therefore register for the event before deciding whether any later paid offer is relevant to them.
A typical journey may look like:
Your content → Free SHS registration → Summit training → Optional paid offers
Your role as an affiliate is to help the right people discover the event. The Summit then delivers the training and may present separate paid offers connected with the campaign.
One paid program associated with the launch is Monetise by Iman Gadzhi, which is separate from free Summit registration.
Once your partner account is active, you'll have the tools you need to start promoting SHS and see how your campaign is performing.
Your dashboard gives you a central place to review campaign information and affiliate activity.
Your personal links are used to attribute eligible registrations and qualifying purchases to your partner account under the current tracking rules.
The campaign provides promotional materials that can reduce the amount of email, social, article, or video content you need to create from scratch.
You can still adapt the messaging to suit your audience, channel, and voice.
Campaign reporting helps you monitor activity generated through your links and see how your promotions are performing.
You can promote SHS wherever your audience already follows you, including:
Avoid simply dropping an affiliate link without context.
A more useful approach is:
Problem → Useful perspective → Side Hustle Summit
That gives people a reason to care before you ask them to register.
Use this angle for people who want to start something but have not identified a clear offer.
Begin with the idea that their knowledge, skills, professional experience, or interests may already provide the foundation for a product or service, then introduce SHS as a place to explore that process further.
Use this angle for people who already have a skill, service, product idea, or area of expertise but do not know how to reach buyers.
Connect that problem to the Summit's training around offers, positioning, marketing, and customer acquisition.
Use this angle for people who want additional income without replacing one demanding job with another.
It creates a natural bridge to AI, automation, digital products, and systems that can make parts of marketing and delivery more repeatable.
