Four dates control everything about this launch. Miss one and you either promote too early and risk your standing, or promote too late and miss the window entirely.

The four dates that matter

Short answer: organic promotion (email, social, YouTube) opens August 10, 2026. Paid traffic is authorized starting August 17, 2026. The five live episodes run September 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13. The cart, and with it the entire sales window, closes September 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM.

Each window, and the rule that governs it

Aug 10

Organic-only window opens

From this date, you can post, email and publish content that includes your tracking link, using any unpaid channel. This is the longest window you get — about a week before paid traffic is even allowed — so it's worth using to seed trust with your audience before you ask for anything.

Aug 17

Paid traffic authorized

Running ads to the opt-in page before this date breaks the program's terms. If you plan to run paid media, treat August 17 as your actual campaign launch date, not August 10 — and check your partner terms for any restrictions on bidding on the hosts' brand names before you build campaigns around them.

Sept 6–13

Live event window

Five episodes, spread across more than a week rather than back-to-back days. This gap matters for content planning: your registrants need reminder and re-engagement messaging between sessions, not just a single invite email.

Sept 15

Cart close — the real deadline

After 11:59 PM on September 15, the Monetise offer stops being sold through this funnel and no further sales are tracked. Any promotion you're still running should shift to urgency messaging in the 48 hours before this date — after it, there's nothing left to sell.

What happens if you promote before the date

The program's published terms are explicit that paid traffic run before August 17 breaks the rules. What isn't published on any partner-facing page is the exact enforcement mechanism — whether that means a warning, a hold on commissions from the affected campaign, or something else. Rather than guess, the honest answer is: don't test it. Register early, read the actual terms you're shown during onboarding, and if you're unsure whether a specific tactic (an early teaser ad, a boosted post, a paid newsletter placement) counts as "paid traffic," ask inside your FirstPromoter dashboard before you spend money on it.

Organic content before August 10 is a separate question — nothing in the published terms prevents you from building anticipation content that doesn't yet include your tracking link, since the restriction is specifically about promotion carrying your affiliate link, not about mentioning the event exists.

Calendar questions

Can I post about the summit before August 10?

The organic promotion window formally opens August 10, 2026. Content published before that date that includes your tracking link falls outside the stated terms — hold your tracked promotion until the window opens.

What exactly counts as "paid traffic"?

Any paid placement driving to the opt-in page with your tracking link — social ads, search ads, boosted posts, paid newsletter placements. If you're unsure whether a specific tactic qualifies, confirm inside your FirstPromoter dashboard before running it.

Why are the five episodes spread across more than a week instead of back-to-back?

The event runs September 6, 7, 8, 9 and then 13 — a gap between Episode 04 and Episode 05. That gap is a real part of the calendar to plan around, not a typo: registrants need re-engagement content to keep attendance up across the break.

Does the cart close exactly at midnight on Sept 15?

The published close time is 11:59 PM on September 15, 2026. Confirm the time zone inside your partner dashboard, since a one-hour difference at a hard deadline can matter for last-minute promotion.

Can I keep promoting after September 15?

Not through this funnel — the Monetise offer stops being sold and no further sales are tracked after cart close. There is nothing left to convert your traffic into once the window ends.
