What is it?
ClickFunnels is a dedicated sales funnel builder designed to guide visitors from first click to purchase through structured, high-converting pages. It is built for marketers and entrepreneurs who sell products, courses or coaching through multi-step funnels.
How you make money
You earn by building funnels that convert traffic into customers for your own offers, and by promoting ClickFunnels as an affiliate for a 40% recurring commission. The platform's templates and training are designed to maximise conversion at each funnel step.
Who is it for?
Marketers who already understand traffic and offers, coaches and course creators selling higher-priced products, and affiliates who want a well-known recurring offer to promote.
Income model
As a seller you earn from products sold through your funnels. As an affiliate you earn 40% of every ClickFunnels subscription your referrals maintain, recurring monthly for as long as they stay.
Commission model
ClickFunnels pays a 40% recurring commission on subscription revenue from your referrals, plus a second tier on affiliates they bring in. A sticky cookie attributes referrals even if a buyer returns later through another link.
Affiliate opportunity
ClickFunnels runs one of the most established recurring affiliate programs online. Its strong brand and high retention make it a reliable offer for creators in marketing, ecommerce and coaching niches.
Second-tier opportunity
The two-tier commission rewards you when your referrals become affiliates themselves and generate their own sales, adding a second layer of recurring income over time.
