ClickFunnels is more than a funnel building software. If you're part of the ClickFunnels community, you know firsthand how they've built a cult-like army of digital marketers that eat up everything Russell Brunson releases. They've read all of Russell's books, bought his programs, and of course use the ClickFunnels software.
The company has put together a robust affiliate program giving followers the opportunity to promote any and all of their products and services. The affiliate program is a great way for evangelists to introduce new people to CF, and also get compensated for it.
But... if you're a ClickFunnels use and affiliate, you also already know that promoting their funnel software is a crowded space! There are over 100,000 active CF users. Many of them are also active affiliates. A quick google search reveals hundreds of pages full of ClickFunnels reviews, tutorials, and videos from affiliates promoting the company's various offers.
Below we'll showcase nine other affiliate programs that either complement the ClickFunnels software or integrate well with ClickFunnels community and ecosystem. If you're already promoting the funnel building software, you may want to promote some of these as well to diversify your various sources of income. Let's dive in.
Russell Brunson's Secrets of Success

Jonathan Montoya's Affiliate Program
Jonathan Montoya's someone I just recently started following. It's like he's popped up out of nowhere and quickly risen to "super-affiliate" status. He's posted his first youtube video a little over a year ago and today has thousands of subscribers, he's crushing it with TikTok for affiliate marketing, and Legendary Marketer even featured him in their TikTok course.
He's recently launched his own course revealing methods that allowed him to quickly scale his business and even quit his engineering job in under nine months. He's now a full-time affiliate marketer and a rising star in the ClickFunnels community.
His webinar funnel and course are built on ClickFunnels, he's a student of Russell Brunson, and his program highly recommends using the ClickFunnels software. His $997 course pays a 50% commission. If you're in the ClickFunnels affiliate marketing community and haven't heard of Jonathan Montoya, you will soon!

Email Marketing Platforms with Affiliate Programs
The Platinum ClickFunnels members may choose to use "Follow-Up Funnels" included in their $297/month plan. You may be "all-in" with ClickFunnels and not familiar with any other providers.
However, all other basic members at the $97/month plan have to integrate ClickFunnels with a third party email marketing platform. The good news is that ClickFunnels makes integration ridiculously easy to set up.
There are several highly rated email marketing platforms out there to handle your needs. If you don't already have a third party email marketing platform that you like and use - test a few out. Most give free trials allowing you a couple weeks to 'get under the hood' and really use their services before deciding.
A couple of reliable options are GetResponse and ConvertKit. Both are solid platforms that are reasonably priced. ConvertKit even offers a FREE account allowing users the ability to send broadcasts out to a list of up to 1,000 subscribers.
If you want to create sequences and use email automation, you have to pay. If your referrals decide to upgrade (or start) with a paid account, ConvertKit pays affiliates 30% recurring monthly commissions.
GetResponse does not offer a free plan, but starts at a very low price that increases as your subscriber list grows. GetResponse pays a 33% monthly recurring commission to affiliates. I personally use GetResponse for all of my email marketing. Review a few email marketing platforms and decide on one that you feel comfortable recommending to others!

ClickFunnels Competitors
Promote competitors? But I'm a diehard #funnelhacker?!
Yes, you may be all-in on ClickFunnels - but an effective way to promote any software is by comparing a company with the competition.
Every day, potential funnel hackers go online to research different funnel software. They're comparing companies and typing into google for things like "ClickFunnels vs Kartra," or "ClickFunnels vs GrooveFunnels" for example.
By creating content comparing tools, pricing, and other pros/cons for each software, you can better help buyers make a smart decision.
If you objectively compare the different software platforms and encourage your audience to take advantage of free trials, some people may decide to go with ClickFunnels and some may not...
Whichever path they take, you should earn a commission!
I personally use ClickFunnels, but also started using GrooveFunnels, and have tested out Kartra. They're all solid platforms with their share of pros and cons. I know, blasphemy!
Only by fairly comparing different funnel builders can you truly help new customers decide what's best for them...
The video below is a great example of an affiliate comparing ClickFunnels with a competitor. By discussing both ClickFunnels and GrooveFunnels, Jon Davis is helping prospects make an informed decision. He has of course, included affiliate links to both ClickFunnels AND GrooveFunnels in the video description.
