Side Hustle Summit commission structure — up to $1,032 total affiliate earnings per customer across the $1,995 core offer, $995 OTO and two $25 upsells — The full-funnel commission structure: up to $1,032 per customer, as published by the official partner program.

The $122,500 prize pool

Two simultaneous contests run alongside commissions:

Opt-in race (most registrations driven): 1st place $15,000, 2nd place $15,000.
Sales leaderboard: $50,000 / $25,000 / $15,000 / $10,000 / $7,500 for the top five.

Realistically, the leaderboard prizes go to mega-lists. For everyone else, the per-customer commission is the business case.

Beyond the cash, the top five affiliates also pick a bonus in order of placement — a private 1:1 with Russell Brunson or Iman Gadzhi, a seat in Russell's private book-and-resource library, or a full year inside his Inner Circle mastermind. These stack on top of the prize money.

Promotion rules worth knowing

Respect the timeline. No public promotion or paid traffic before August 17. Launch programs do enforce this.
Check trademark policy before bidding. The public partner page doesn't spell out brand-bidding rules; get the written policy from the JV team before running search ads on event or host names.
Disclose properly. FTC rules apply to launch promos like anything else: clear affiliate disclosure on every page and email.
