The commission structure, at a glance

Short answer: you earn 40% on every Monetise-related sale tracked to your link — the $1,995 core offer, the $995 companion offer, and two smaller upsells — up to a published ceiling of $1,032 per customer. On top of that, you earn 10% lifetime on sales generated by any affiliate you personally refer into the program. Free registrations themselves pay nothing directly; they start the tracking window that makes everything after them possible.

Funnel stage by funnel stage

What each stage of the funnel pays
1. Free registration$0 direct payout. This is a tracking event — it cookies the visitor to your link and counts toward the Opt-In Race, but nothing is owed until a sale happens.
2. Core offer — Monetise ($1,995)40% commission = $798 per sale. This is the largest single payout in the funnel and the one most of your earnings will come from if any come at all.
3. Companion offer ($995)Commissioned at the same 40% structure if purchased alongside or after the core offer, by the same tracked customer.
4. Upsells (2 × $25)Small additional line items in the same purchase flow, also commissioned if bought.
5. Published ceiling$1,032 — the maximum publicly stated payout for one customer who buys the full stack. Treat every other number in this table as a component of how that ceiling is built, not a guarantee.
6. Tier-2 override10% lifetime on everything generated by affiliates you personally refer into the program — paid on an ongoing basis, not a one-time bonus.

Ceiling vs. typical

$1,032 is a maximum, not an average. It requires one tracked customer to buy the $1,995 core offer, the $995 companion offer and both upsells in a single purchase journey. In practice, most people who register for a free event never buy anything at all — that's true of essentially every free-to-paid funnel, not unique to this one. A more realistic mental model: a meaningful share of your commission will come from the $798 core-offer sale alone, with the companion offer and upsells adding extra on top of a minority of those sales.

Don't build a promotion plan around hitting $1,032 per registrant. Build it around driving enough qualified registrations that your real conversion rate — whatever it turns out to be — produces a number you're happy with. See the honest program review for a fuller breakdown of what realistically drives results here.

When and how you're paid

Every sale and every registration is tracked through FirstPromoter, a cookie-based affiliate platform. Once a purchase is attributed to your link, it appears in your partner dashboard. Like most affiliate platforms selling a physical cohort-based launch, tracked sales typically pass through a short holdback window before they're marked payable — this protects against refunds and chargebacks landing after a commission has already gone out. FirstPromoter shows your exact payout schedule and any holdback period inside your own dashboard once you're approved; it isn't published on this page because it can be adjusted program-side, and we'd rather send you to the source than publish a number that goes stale.

Practically: expect a delay between a tracked sale and money actually landing in your account, and treat the summit's September 15 cart close as the point sales stop generating, not the point you get paid.

Commission questions

Is $1,032 what I'll earn per registration?

No. $1,032 is the maximum for one customer who buys the entire offer stack. Most free registrants don't purchase anything, so treat this as a ceiling on your best possible outcome per sale, not a per-registration average.

How does the 10% tier-2 commission actually work?

If you refer someone who also becomes a Side Hustle Summit affiliate, you earn 10% lifetime on everything they personally generate — on top of your own direct commissions. It's ongoing, not a one-time referral bonus, and it compounds the more affiliates you bring in who are themselves active.

What counts as a "tracked sale"?

Any Monetise-related purchase made by a visitor who clicked your unique FirstPromoter link and whose session was cookied to your account before they bought.

Is there a holdback period before I get paid?

Most cohort-launch affiliate programs, including platforms built on FirstPromoter, hold commissions for a short window after a sale to account for refunds. The exact schedule is set inside your partner dashboard after you register — check it directly rather than relying on a fixed number here, since program terms can change between launches.

Do free registrations pay anything on their own?

Not directly. A free registration doesn't generate a commission by itself, but it does start the tracking window and counts toward the Opt-In Race, which has its own separate cash prizes.

Now you know exactly what you're working toward.
