ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp Review: Read Before You Join

Affiliate Bootcamp Review 2020

Have you ever seen people making serious BANK online with the ClickFunnels Affiliate program? 🤑

I see it more and more on Facebook and Youtube these days - people sharing their success with promoting ClickFunnels as an affiliate.

Ever since Russell Brunson released his top-earning affiliates’ strategies in the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp, more and more success stories have been popping up. Including my own!

(More on my own personal results later in this Affiliate Bootcamp review)

Does the concept of making money online intrigue you? 

Or make you doubtful?

For me, it creates drive and ambition. I often wonder to myself, “If they can do it, then so can I!”

Often referring to winning the ClickFunnels Dream Car contest, BTW.

The first ClickFunnels affiliate earnings screenshot I ever saw, was the dashboard of Spencer Mecham’s.

Spencer Mecham drew me into the world of ClickFunnels affiliate marketing immediately and at the age of 17, I convinced my parents to loan me the few hundred bucks to buy his course and gain access to Spencer’s Affiliate Secrets.

When I first learned about the ClickFunnels affiliate program, I knew that I would have to commit to learning from those who have already accomplished what I’ve set out for. So that’s exactly what I did.

What I didn’t know at the time, was Russell Brunson was putting together a 100 Day Affiliate Bootcamp challenge with ALL of the dream car winners (including Spencer Mecham).

So when Russell Brunson announced he’s giving away admission to the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp for free, I was so eager to see if it lived up to all the hype.

In this Affiliate Bootcamp review, I’m going to share what I found after enrolling in the summit (which is free) and implementing some of the concepts that I learned.

BE WARNED: the concepts taught in the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp are real strategies that require time and attention to yield lasting results. The Affiliate Bootcamp challenge is a real challenge, taught by real ClickFunnels Dream Car winners.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #1: What is it?

The ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is an online virtual summit hosted by the one and only Russell Brunson and his partners at ClickFunnels with the curriculum focused on teaching affiliates how to transform their affiliate marketing side hustle into a full-time income.

But this is nothing like we’ve ever seen before from Russell Brunson.

Specifically for the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp, Russell asked 15 of his ‘Super Affiliates’ to contribute their own personal blueprints for winning the ClickFunnels dream car contest

The ‘Super Affiliate’ lineup includes:

  • Steve Larsen

  • Dave Gambrill

  • Rachel Pedersen

  • Peng Joon

  • Jim Edwards

  • Greg Jeffries

  • Jacob Caris

  • Dana Derricks

  • Joe Marfoglio

  • Spencer Mecham

  • Marley Baird

  • JR Rivas

  • Josh Rhodes

  • Tyler S. Clark

  • Billy Gene

What’s the point of the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp?

Russell asked all of his top-performing affiliates one simple question.

“If you had to feed your family with nothing but your affiliate commissions, and you only had 100 days to turn this hobby into your full-time career, what would you do each day (for the next 30 days) until you were FULL TIME?”

The silver lining is the whole challenge is all about them not having an existing product to sell, a proven funnel in place, no influencer connections to leverage, and without any established reputation.

Russell Brunson has made admission to the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp 100% FREE…BUT, attendees only have four days to consume all of the virtual interviews and trainings before it goes away.

Pro tip: If you want unlimited access to the virtual summit, then you’ll want to purchase the One Funnel Away Challenge upsell.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #2: Overview

The ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is an online virtual training summit hosted by the world’s leading ClickFunnels affiliates.

Each ‘Super Affiliate’ has their own unique strategy for crushing the ClickFunnels affiliate marketing program…some of them specialize in YouTube, others focus on SEO, and Jim Edwards of Funnel Scripts simply explains how to DOMINATE the competition.

…if you already can’t wait to sink your teeth into the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp, then dive right in by clicking the link below!

When you do, you’re going to get unlimited access to my Exclusive Affiliate Bootcamp Bonuses too, which makes it a total no-brainer to join.

ClickFunnels-Affiliate Bootcamp Pros

  • So much VALUE Russel would normally sell for over $2,000.

  • Each super affiliate delivers a different strategy and approach

  • The ebook that comes with The OFA Challenge upgrade lays out every step of each ClickFunnels affiliate’s unique approach. This is a huge help for anyone starting from scratch

  • 15 unique 30-day action plans for dominating the ClickFunnels affiliate program in 100 days

  • Learn the most important strategies to avoid that can kill your affiliate dreams fast

  • Action plan for how to become Russell’s next ClickFunnels Dream Car winner

Affiliate Bootcamp cons

  • It takes time and commitment to watch all of the trainings, learn all of the strategies, and actually take action and implement.

  • They don’t let you skip around the videos, you must go in order.

  • There is not one strategy that fits-all. The Affiliate Bootcamp gives you the resources to create a plan and pick a strategy to implement, and figuring out how to do that can be a challenge if you’re just getting started (that’s why The One Funnel Away Challenge fits in perfectly with this training).

Affiliate Bootcamp Conclusion

The ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is 100% free to join. There are tons of exceptional training videos for learning how to build and promote an affiliate funnel.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #3: Who Should Join?

As one of the best affiliate programs out there, ClickFunnels makes their affiliates tons of recurring commissions and awards lots of prizes like the famous ClickFunnels dream car contest.

Despite these features, Russell reports…

“…81% of active ClickFunnels affiliates make less than $200/month”,

- Russell Brunson

In the Affiliate Bootcamp, Russell Brunson sets out on a mission to change that by leveraging the knowledge strategies of the top 19%.

With that said, it’s fair to say that the Affiliate Bootcamp is primarily targeted towards the following people:

  • Aspiring affiliate marketers who have no idea where to start

  • Amateur affiliate marketers who need a proven path to follow

  • Experienced affiliate marketers looking to scale to new levels

Most importantly, Russell Brunson’s Affiliate Bootcamp is an amazing resource for affiliates who are already promoting the One Funnel Away Challenge. The Affiliate Bootcamp acts as a really compelling front end offer to ignite your OFA commissions.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #4: Favorite Features

Affiliate Bootcamp Favorite Feature #1: In-Depth Super Affiliate Training Lessons

When you see big names like Steve Larsen and Spencer Mecham on the roster of a free program, you have to wonder if there’s a catch…

Well, I can tell you that’s definitely not the case with the Affiliate Bootcamp.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what some of the best affiliate marketers would do if they had to start over from scratch, you’ll never get a better resource than the Affiliate Bootcamp.

Many of the Affiliate Bootcamp training lessons include hour-long videos with week-by-week breakdowns detailing their EXACT ClickFunnels affiliate marketing approach. 

Pro Tip: If you purchase the One Funnel Away Challenge upsell, you will also get a behind the scenes look at each Super Affiliate’s live funnels and automations.

The value / cost ratio for Affiliate Bootcamp cannot be overlooked. It’s truly a hidden gem.

Affiliate Bootcamp Favorite Feature #2: You can start for FREE

Let’s be real, most free trainings these days have some sort of strings attached…

Especially in the ‘make money online’ niche.

So why in the world would Russell Brunson be giving all these Super affiliate blueprints away for free?

Simple! Russell’s intention with the Affiliate Bootcamp is to increase the success ClickFunnels affiliates have with promoting ClickFunnels.

Russell Brunson has used his brilliant network marketing tactics to create a platform where students of the Affiliate Bootcamp refer others to the Affiliate Bootcamp, who then in turn become apart of the ClickFunnels ecosystem.

Let me put it this way,

The ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is specifically designed by Russell to teach affiliates how to successfully make commissions, while simultaneously growing ClickFunnels.

This is the power of creating an affiliate army to promote for you. (More on that is Russell’s new book, Traffic Secrets)

Affiliate Bootcamp Favorite Feature #3: An Easy affiliate offer to promote

The One Funnel Away Challenge is already one of the best affiliate offers available in the ClickFunnels ecosystem available to promote. 

The One Funnel Away Challenge is incredible, and you earn 100% commissions on the $100 sale.

The Affiliate Bootcamp has been designed to perform as a free front end offer that generates MORE referrals and pushes people directly into the One Funnel Away Challenge.

I wholeheartedly believe you won’t be able to find the value and strategies shared in the Affiliate Bootcamp anywhere else on the internet. 

The Affiliate Bootcamp is a perfect example of an awesome sales funnel in action.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #5: Rooms For Improvement

Affiliate Bootcamp Least Favorite Feature #1: It’s Free…Kinda

Yes…the Affiliate Bootcamp is 100% free to join.

But like any good sales funnel, there’s a bit of urgency tied into the free admission.

The “catch” is that you only get 4 days to go through the many hours of affiliate marketing training and build your own 100-day plan based on what you learned. After that, you’re locked out for good.

This layer of scarcity forces you to take action and commit.

Anyone that joins the Affiliate Bootcamp who has a full-time job or deals with any other important commitments will find this time constraint more than inconvenient.

But that’s the beauty of the Affiliate Bootcamp, isn’t it?

The content shared inside is so valuable that anybody wanting to take action with it is going to take the One Funnel Away Challenge which grants access to the Affiliate Bootcamp training series (and more) for LIFE.

Affiliate Bootcamp Least Favorite Feature #2: It’s Primarily Focused on the ‘Make Money Online’ Niche

You won’t find much in common amongst the different affiliate trainings within the Affiliate Bootcamp. But one thing you will for sure notice that is similar across the board is that each participant in the Affiliate Bootcamp challenge is heavily involved in the MMO—’Make Money Online’—niche.

It makes complete sense too. The training is focused on affiliate marketing. But for those who have affiliate marketing businesses in different niches, it can be harder to apply the techniques and principles presented in the Affiliate Bootcamp challenge.

That said, many of the blueprints ARE applicable to other niches as well. 

So if you are working in another niche, you just need to think a bit how to apply the strategies to your own business.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #6: What's Inside?

To get access to the Affiliate Bootcamp, all you need to do is visit this page, watch the video and register.

The Affiliate Bootcamp is technically a 4 day virtual summit.  You’ll get access to each day one at a time.

Each day features 4 different marketers, broken down like so:

Affiliate Bootcamp Day 1:

  • Russell Brunson, Stephen Larsen, Dave Gambrill and Rachel Pedersen

Affiliate Bootcamp Day 2:

  • Jim Edwards, Greg Jeffries, Jacob Caris, Dana Derricks

Affiliate Bootcamp Day 3:

  • Joe Marfoglio, Spencer Mecham, Marley Baird, JR Rivas

Affiliate Bootcamp Day 4:

  • Josh Rhodes, Tyler S Clark, Billy Gene, Peng Joon

If you opt-in for the OFA challenge upsell, then you’ll get access to all the video content in a membership area like this:

As a free Affiliate Bootcamp attendee, you only get access to the Summit interviews.

But as a paid Affiliate Bootcamp member you’ll also get access to a second, exclusive behind the scenes video for each of the millionaire mentors. And the other bonus you get for joining is the Affiliate Bootcamp ebook, which contains all the action steps in one .pdf. 

Personally, I enjoy utilizing the written content after I’ve watched the video to fully absorb the material, so I really appreciate the content being provided through an alternate medium.

The Affiliate Bootcamp Coaches/Instructors

Although Russell Brunson gets the ball rolling with the intro video, the rest of the Affiliate Bootcamp is entirely composed of millionaire mentors (ClickFunnels Affiliates), presenting on their strategies.

Instead of going over every single speaker and turning this ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp review into a full on novel, I’m just going to cover 5 of the 15 ClickFunnels Super Affiliates that contribute to the training.

These 5 mentors had a profound impact on the way I appraoch my affiliate marketing business, so let’s dive right in starting with Russell!

Affiliate Bootcamp Coach #1: Russell Brunson

Did you really think I’d skip Mr. ClickFunnels himself?

Russell Brunson sets the tone for the Affiliate Bootcamp with his complete ‘from-scratch’ approach to affiliate marketing.

Before he dives into his affiliate marketing strategy, however, Russell gives an important lesson on the mindset necessary for success which can be summarized as follows:

  • Don’t anticipate getting rich without putting in the work

  • Don’t expect results without a plan in place for achieving them

  • Go through the training, pick ONE plan you like and take ACTION

Now onto Russell Brunson’s affiliate marketing plan illustrated in the first lesson of the Affiliate Bootcamp.

This is where he illustrates his “2-step affiliate funnel” - an affiliate marketing funnel he’s personally used…

“…to generate millions of dollars of affiliate commissions online”.

- Russell Brunson

And when I say illustrate, I mean ILLUSTRATE!

Russell’s affiliate marketing approach is surprisingly simple;

  • find and target a specific niche

  • demonstrate to that audience how to leverage the power of sales funnels in their business

Affiliate Bootcamp Coach: Spencer Mecham

Spencer Mecham is the person I chose to mentor me when it came to ClickFunnels affiliate marketing so I talk about him a lot, both on my YouTube channel and in my ClickFunnels review.

When it comes to earning passive income with the ClickFunnels affiliate program, Spencer Mecham has unlocked the secrets and knows the system.

That’s exactly why I didn’t hesitate to invest in his Affiliate Secrets 2.0 course on winning the ClickFunnels Dream Car Contest.

In Spencer’s Affiliate Bootcamp training session, he breaks down exactly how he would tackle his 100-day plan.

What’s inspiring about this is this is actually what lead to his success - he went from absolutely nothing, used this exact strategy outlined in his blueprint, and won the ClickFunnels dream car…twice.

Spencer dives deep on the importance of serving people in order to gain credibility and trust - which he claims has a direct correlation to higher conversions compared to just spamming your link without adding value and building rapport.

Affiliate Bootcamp Coach: Steve Larsen

Stephen Larsen

Consider Stephen your supportive (but no-excuses) accountability partner! He’s not afraid to “hold your feet to the fire” and make you stay accountable to getting your tasks DONE!

In Stephen’s 1 hour and 10 minute video, he demonstrates the exact system he used to build his 7 figure affiliate marketing business after leaving ClickFunnels.

One of the biggest takeaways for me personally was understanding the importance of pumping affiliate profits back into your business for rapid growth.

Of course, you’ll also learn about the common pitfalls made by newbie marketers, along with a deep-dive into real, actionable strategies you can apply right away.

stephen larsen clickfunnels affiliate bootcamp

Each Affiliate Bootcamp coach has two videos:

  1. Focused on conceptual techniques and information,

  2. Behind the scenes for a real-world implementation of the strategies

What I liked about Stephen’s Affiliate Bootcamp training is that we get a closer look at his personal affiliate marketing funnels, how he generates leads on auto-pilot by leveraging lead magnets, and real-world examples of how to incentivize leads to use your affiliate link by creating irresistible offers.

Affiliate Bootcamp Coach: Jim Edwards

The next Affiliate Bootcamp coach that had a profound impact on me was Jim Edwards. He’s the co-founder of the amazing automated copywriting software, Funnel Scripts.

Jim broke down his “6 phases of the 100-day plan” in 50 minutes, which can be summarized as follows:

  1. Why should you promote ClickFunnels?: Discusses ClickFunnels affiliate program benefits such as: recurring revenue, lifetime sticky cookie, and the quality of customer service.

  2. Choose & target your niche: You should always start with defining your dream customer, meaning fully understanding the pain-points of your audience which will give you a slight edge in the market.

  3. Create your value assets: Zone in on your target market’s problem, provide a solution, and find irresistible angles to bridge the gap via webinars, videos, lead magnets, or software.

  4. Providing consistent value: Simply put, consistently adding value to the community creates new opportunities.

  5. Become the expert in your field: Position yourself as a trusted expert through providing value by position the affiliate offers as the solution.

  6. Consistent traffic and filling your funnel: Create value-driven content that generates income.

Affiliate Bootcamp Coach: Jacob Caris

Jacob Caris dives deep into his 100-day plan and breaks down each week step by step. To give you an idea of what’s included, refer below:

  1. Create your branding: Choosing between a personal or business brand, why Jacob recommends going the personal route if possible.

  2. Build a tribe: Facebook communities, building authority, and creating an irresistible CTA.

  3. Leverage video: Learn how to leverage YouTube and Facebook lives for ClickFunnels affiliate marketing.

  4. Leverage blogs: Jacob discusses the importance of not overlooking blogging as a way to generate targeted leads by ranking in search engines.

  5. Create a landing page: Create a primary landing page for your brand to use for recommend resources and to collect email addresses for various offers.

  6. Differentiation: Trying new mediums like interviewing other affiliates, unique case studies, special giveaways, coaching calls, and build a catalogue of share funnels to give away.

  7. Much more: This is a giant value bomb to digest, so I invite you to dive into the Affiliate Bootcamp yourself to discover the rest.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #7: Pricing

As I mentioned multiple times in this Affiliate Bootcamp review, the Affiliate Bootcamp can be accessed for free using this link.  All you need to do is put in your email address.

Once you put in your email, you’ll be presented with an offer to join the One Funnel Away Challenge for $100. If you take advantage of the deal, you’ll be granted with will lifetime access to the Affiliate Bootcamp interview series, training lessons, AND complete One Funnel Away challenge access.

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #8: FAQs

Here is a handful of some of the most common questions that not only myself, but many other affiliates ask about the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp when first just getting started.

Q: Does Affiliate Bootcamp Have An Affiliate Program?

A: Absolutely! Once you sign up for the program, you will gain access to the affiliate program. You will get an on-boarding lesson with Russell Brunson that teaches you how the program works and what to expect if you want to win the ClickFunnels dream car contest.

Joining the ClickFunnels affiliate program is 100% free to join and you do not have to pay for any of the training.

Q: How Does Affiliate Bootcamp Work?

As stated earlier in this Affiliate Bootcamp review, the primary goal of the challenge is to teach entrepreneurs…

How to successfully promote ClickFunnels and make monthly recurring commissions.

The ClickFunnels affiliate program pays out 40% recurring commissions for every account sign up.

So if you just refer a buddy to ClickFunnels with your affiliate link, and they sign up for a $97/month account, you’ll be commissioned a passive $38.80 per month.

The lifetime affiliate sticky cookie is one of the major reasons ClickFunnels stands out as one of the most lucrative affiliate programs to promote.  

Thanks to the lifetime sticky cookie, you as a ClickFunnels affiliate can collect commissions for any sales your referrals make, EVER!

Q: Is The Affiliate Bootcamp Legit?

There are many factors that go into determining the legitimacy of a Clickfunnels affiliate program training. They claim the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is designed to help you retire in 100 days.

Although I haven’t yet ‘retired’, since enrolling in this course 3 months ago and implementing Spencer Mecham’s teachings to this day, I’ve been able to explode my affiliate commissions.

ClickFunnels+affiliate+earnings+-+clickfunnels+review (1).png

So I 100% believe the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is legitimate. Afterall, I only review products and services I have had first-hand experience with in my own business.

In order to access your own custom ClickFunnels affiliate link, you must create a free ClickFunnels affiliate account. Once done so, you’ll have access to all of the different products and services to promote.

Q: When Do I Get Paid?

ClickFunnels affiliate commissions are paid on the 1st and 15th of each month after the 30 day refund period and as long as there is a minimum of $100 earned. 

Q: Can You Really Make Money With The Affiliate Bootcamp?

From experience, YES!

I personally took Spencer Mecham’s course. I think it’s seriously worth noting how transparent the ClickFunnels affiliate program really is. Here’s a look at my ClickFunnels affiliate dashboard earnings as of writing this post:

Affiliate Bootcamp Review Part #10: Closing Thoughts

“One of the things I credit my success to is constantly studying and learning from others who are playing the game at a higher level.”

- Ethan Z. Johnson

Before the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp, that meant reading blogs, watching videos, buying courses, listening to books, etc. for years to find what works!

I would have loved to have a step-by-step roadmap on how to get started and it would have made my path to success much easier.

- Chris Fong, CF Dream Car Winner

Being able to hand pick different strategies from some of the most successful affiliates makes it obviously a no brainer to sign up for the Affiliate Bootcamp.

I urge you to put time aside to absorb the material. Take some good notes and take even better action.

The Clickfunnels Affiliate Bootcamp is a goldmine full of affiliate marketing tactics to implement for promoting any type of product or service online.

We also have our Clickfunnels Review and Clickfunnels Pricing if you want to check them out!

So now I want to turn it over to you…
