The ClickFunnels Affiliate Program is one of the most popular digital marketing software affiliate programs online today. Recurring lifetime commissions, sticky cookies and a two-tier affiliate commission structure, along with the fact that Russell Brunson and Etison LLC give their affiliates all of the training, resources, unique incentives and bonuses they need in order to succeed with the program, make this an ideal choice when deciding which affiliate program in the digital marketing niche is right for your business.

Another attractive feature of this opportunity is the ability to promote various products that are complementary to the ClickFunnels software (such as Expert Secrets, Funnel Scripts and Funnel U). This Click Funnels Affiliate Program Review will help you decide whether or not this affiliate program is a good fit for you and your online business.

 

 

The first questions that come to mind for many people when looking for the best affiliate program online are:

How much do I get paid?

and

When do I get paid?

Some of the best features of the ClickFunnels affiliate commission and payout frequency structure are:

40% recurring (for the lifetime of the customer) commissions on most subscription based products (for example ClickFunnels and Funnel U).

40% commission on one time purchase products (such as Funnel Hacks and Funnel Scripts).

Valuable front end offers to promote that have low barriers to entry for your customers (many of which are free plus shipping offers such as Expert Secrets, Dot Com Secrets and Perfect Webinar Script)

High converting funnels that allow you to earn additional commissions on a variety of relevant and complementary upsells.

Convenient weekly payout every Monday by PayPal

Similar to many other affiliate programs, the ClickFunnels affiliate program holds commissions for a period of 30 days after they are earned (to eliminate refund risk due to their 30 day refund guarantee on all of their products).

 

 

ClickFunnels offers a valuable and in depth free training for affiliates called the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp. This is a free 100 day online course which is designed designed to help new affiliates get started with the program. The tag line of this free training is ‘Retire in 100 Days’. This accurately sums up what the goal of the Affiliate Bootcamp is: to help as many ClickFunnels affiliates retire in 100 days as possible.

ClickFunnels offers a bonus incentive called the ClickFunnels Dream Car Contest (or the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program Dream Car Contest). Once an affiliate has enrolled 100 active ClickFunnels subscribers through their affiliate link (sales of the $997 Funnel Hacks Deal also count, but sales of the $19/month Share Funnels Only Plan do not) ClickFunnels will pay $500/month toward the lease of your dream car (this is in addition to the approximately $4000/month in recurring affiliate commissions that affiliates earn at this level). For affiliates who enroll 200 active ClickFunnels subscribers, ClickFunnels will pay $1,000/month toward the lease of your dream car (in addition to the average $8,000/month recurring affiliate commissions earned after enrolling 200 active members).

The affiliate program also offers tons of marketing resources to help you promote the software and other related offers. This includes banner ads, email swipe copy for each different offer etc. These can all be found inside your affiliate dashboard.

 

 

Many people have asked me whether they can promote ClickFunnels as an affiliate without purchasing the $97/month or $297/month ClickFunnels plan. Here’s the facts about whether you can promote the software without purchasing it:

The ClickFunnels Affiliate Program is free to join and you are not required to purchase the software in order to promote it. However, it can be very difficult to promote an affiliate product that you don’t use and love.. For example, some of the most effective strategies for promoting ClickFunnels as an affiliate marketer are:

Providing ongoing support and training to people that sign up under your affiliate link, in order to improve the customer retention rate.

Creating niche specific share funnels to offer as a lead magnet. Every funnel you build in ClickFunnels automatically has a unique share funnel link associated with it. Sharing this link with someone allows them to easily import the funnel into their account with the click of the mouse (or to create a 14 day free trial account if they don’t already have one). Share funnel links are automatically encoded with your affiliate ID. When you share a funnel with someone that isn’t yet a ClickFunnels subscriber, they will be asked to signup for a ClickFunnels 14 day free trial. After the free trial they will be billed a recurring charge of either $97/month for the Startup Now Plan or $297/month for the Etison Suite (which includes both Actionetics and Backpack). No matter which plan they choose, you’ll earn a 40% recurring affiliate commission for the lifetime of the customer (just because you gave them a share funnel link).

Recording screencast tutorial videos to drive free traffic from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. and monetizing those videos with a share funnel or affiliate link.

All the above mentioned affiliate promotion strategies are only possible/practical if you’re an active ClickFunnels subscriber.

 

 

After reading this ClickFunnels affiliate program review, you may be wondering how to get started and sign up for the program..

There are three possible ways to enroll:

Signup for a 14 day free trial of ClickFunnels (recommended method). Once you signup for a ClickFunnels free trial you’ll automatically be enrolled as an affiliate, and will be able to access your affiliate dashboard from within your ClickFunnels account. Pro Tip: It’s much easier to promote ClickFunnels as an affiliate if you are an active user of the software.

Signup for the free ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp (100 day challenge). Once you enroll in this free online affiliate marketing course, you’ll automatically be enrolled as an affiliate and will be able to access your affiliate dashboard through a special login link provided to you when you signup. If you decide to purchase the ClickFunnels software at a later time, your ClickFunnels affiliate account will automatically be imported into your ClickFunnels account (provided you completed both signups with the same email address).

Signup for the ClickFunnels affiliate program directly (ClickFunnels Dream Car Page). You can also enroll in the affiliate program directly via the ClickFunnels ‘What’s Your Dream Car?’ page. As with the Affiliate Bootcamp signup method, you can signup for a 14 day free trial of the software at a later time, and your affiliate account will automatically be imported to your ClickFunnels account.
