GrooveFunnels Affiliate Program – Is It Worth Your Time?

Last Updated on 21st February 2024

The GrooveFunnels affiliate program is one of the newest to hit the digital marketing world, and many people are saying that it’s going to be one of the most lucrative of its kind.

A lot of experienced affiliate marketers joined the Groove affiliate program straight away once they realized Mike Filsaime is the creator and CEO of GrooveFunnels.

If you’ve not heard of him, he’s the same guy who has already created several other massively successful software companies, including Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar.

Mike Filsaime is also an amazing marketer who has been in the business for around two decades.

Here in my review of this affiliate program, I am going to go into a lot of detail about this new affiliate program, so you can decide for yourself if it’s a good fit for you to promote.

How To Sign Up For The GrooveFunnels Affiliate Program

To sign up for the Groove affiliate program, all you need to do is simply create a free GrooveFunnels account here, and voilà! You are now a GrooveFunnnels affiliate.

There is currently no vetting process to go through when you sign up to become a GrooveFunnels affiliate.

Basically, if you have either a paid or free GrooveFunnels account then you are automatically approved to be an affiliate.

You will find your promo tools and resources in the affiliate dashboard inside your GrooveFunnels account, as I will explain later in this article.

How Does The Affiliate Program Work?

When you sign up you will be given your own unique set of affiliate links.

When someone clicks on one of your links and then buys access to use the GrooveFunnels marketing platform, this purchase is tracked to you.

If however, they click on your link and create a free GrooveFunnels account and do not upgrade to a paid plan right away, this customer is still assigned to you in what Groove CEO Mike Filsaime calls a “parent-child relationship”.

When this happens that customer is tagged to you for life.

When they decide to upgrade to a paid account in the future, you will then be credited with the affiliate commission.

It doesn’t matter if they upgrade to a paid account next week, next year, from a different device than what they originally signed up with, or even from a different country.

This customer is locked into you and you will receive the affiliate commission when they upgrade.

What’s So Good About The GrooveFunnels Affiliate Program?

At the time of writing this article, I have been promoting all kinds of affiliate offers for over eight years.

So far, this is one of the best affiliate programs for beginners that I have come across for several reasons.

Here are those reasons:

Tagged For Life

As I mentioned earlier, once a customer has clicked your link and signed up for a free account, they are locked to you for life.

When they upgrade you get the commission. If they buy another Groove product, you should also get that commission too.

According to Mike Filsaime, the GrooveFunnels affiliate program does not use cookies so they cannot be overwritten.

This makes it impossible for someone to steal your commissions once the customer has created a free account through your link.

It’s Easy To Promote

GrooveFunnels is easy to promote for 4 main reasons:

• It’s a highly in-demand product
• There is a free lifetime account to promote
• There is a lot of credibility behind the brand
• GrooveFunnels is applicable to a wide audience

Pretty much any business out there can benefit from using at least one and in most cases a combination of the tools that Groove offers.

Right now it’s even easier to promote Groove because there is a free account available and it’s so much easier to get someone to sign up for a free account rather than a paid product (in most cases).

Compared to a lot of the established landing page and funnel-builder brands on the market, there’s still not much competition when it comes to promoting the GrooveFunnels affiliate program.

GrooveFunnels Is a Very In-Demand Product

Both local and online businesses all over the world are realizing the importance of online marketing tools and the benefits they bring.

They’re all hearing about features like landing pages, sales funnels, email autoresponders, webinars, video hosting, shopping carts, setting up an affiliate program to recruit affiliates to promote your products for you, and so on.

All these tools can become very expensive for business owners.

Groove provides all these tools in one so it not only makes it easier for customers to use them, but it also saves them a load of money in the process.

If you do not know about all the tools that Groove comes with then I recommend you take a quick look at my detailed review of GrooveFunnels here.

It Has High Conversion Rates

GrooveFunnels is currently converting at 20%, according to Mike Filsaime, which is pretty damn good!

That means that for every 10 people who sign up for a free account, an average of 2 of those people will likely upgrade to a paid plan.

Of course, that statistic may change over time, but as of right now those are the figures that GrooveFunnels is reporting.

Great Commission Structure

At the moment, anyone can sign up to promote GrooveFunnels and earn a recurring 20% commission on direct referrals, and a further 5% commission on 2nd tier sales. (More about the tier-2 commission structure later in this article).

You do not need to pay anything at all to GrooveFunnels to be on this commission structure, and right now there’s no vetting process.

If you become a paid GrooveFunnels user at the Platinum level by either paying monthly for Groove Platinum or if you bought the one-time payment lifetime deal for GrooveFunnels Platinum, then you automatically get the higher rate commission of 40% for direct customer sign-ups and 5% for 2nd tier sales.

GrooveFunnels is an in-demand product with a high purchase price for those who take advantage of the lifetime deal.

If you are an affiliate who is on the 40% commission rate (because you are a Platinum or lifetime member yourself), then you will earn a cool $558.80 per sale for anyone who purchases the lifetime deal through your link.

And if you’re a free member earning 20% commissions then you’ll still get $279.40 when someone takes the lifetime deal. So, it’s fair to say that this is a high-paying affiliate program.

You Can Earn Recurring Commissions

Once the regular pricing structure for GrooveFunnels rolls out at the end of the launch period (Oct 20th, 2020), new customers will need to pay a monthly subscription.

This means that if you signed a customer up at either 20% or 40%, you will be paid another 20% or 40% each, and every single month that customer remains an active user.

Here are the monthly Groove pricing plans:

• GrooveFunnels Base – Free for life (we don’t know how long for)
• GrooveFunnels Silver – $99 per month
• GrooveFunnels Gold – $199 per month
• GrooveFunnels Platinum – $299 per month

As you can imagine, those recurring commissions soon stack up!

The GrooveFunnels Affiliate Dashboard

The GrooveFunnels affiliate dashboard is user-friendly and easy to find inside your GrooveFunnels account.

It comes with quite a few promo tools, which are updated and added to regularly.

Where Do I Find My Affiliate Links?

Once you’re inside your Groove account, you will see a button in the top left of your screen which says, ‘Groove Affiliate Program’.

Click that button to enter the GrooveFunnels affiliate area.

Once inside, scroll down the page until you see a section titled, “Promotion Tools”.

There you will see several icons that you can click on to access your affiliate links, use a variety of promotional tools, and check your stats.

Here’s what the affiliate tools section looks like:

In the affiliate area, you will be able to find your affiliate links to either promote the GrooveFunnels product itself, or you can use your affiliate link to promote the GrooveFunnels JV opportunity and recruit other affiliates to sign up under you.

What Promo Tools Do I Get?

As you can see from the above screenshot, you get quite a few affiliate tools to use to help you promote.

Here’s a breakdown of those promo tools that you’ll have access to:

• Email swipes
• Blog posts and articles
• Banner images
• Ads for your thank you pages
• Ads for logout areas if you run a members area
• Posts for social media
• Promotional videos
• Done-for-you Facebook ads
• Pre-written email signatures

Groove has said they will be regularly updating the promo tools in the affiliate area to keep them fresh and current.

How GrooveFunnels Affiliates Get Paid

As you would imagine, GrooveDigital uses its own affiliate tracking system, known as GrooveAffiliate, and payout to its affiliates through the GrooveSell app.

It wouldn’t give you much confidence in their products if they used someone else’s affiliate management system, like ThriveCart!

When someone clicks your link and signs up for a free GrooveFunnels account, that person will show up in your account (stats area) as a ‘sign-up’.

If they upgrade later to a paid account, or if a person signs up with you and upgrades to a paid plan straight away, then that customer will then also be registered as a sale in your account, and you will get paid for that sale once the grace period has passed.

Tiered Commission Structure

As I mentioned earlier, the GrooveFunnels affiliate program has a tiered commission structure, which was another thing that attracted me to become a GrooveFunnels affiliate.

This means that if any of the customers that you signed up to use GrooveFunnels then also wants to promote it as an affiliate, you will also receive a smaller commission on the customers they sign up for no extra work!

If you’re on the 20% commission rate, as I explain above then you will get a further 5% recurring monthly commission for all 2nd tier sales.

And if you’re on the 40% commission rate, then your tier-2 commission is doubled to 10%!

Just imagine if you sign up an influencer to use GrooveFunnels who happens to have a huge list, or you sign up someone who turns out to be a rockstar affiliate.

Those tier-2 commissions can soon add up to more than the commissions you are earning at tier-1.

With this affiliate program, you can double your tier-2 commissions by signing up for a Platinum account, or you can get the same 5% if you’re a free user of Groove.

When And How Do GrooveFunnels Affiliates Get Paid?

Another thing I like about this affiliate program is that Groove Digital payout to their affiliates on a weekly basis.

But first, you need to have made at least 2 sales in order to start receiving payouts.

Groove offers a 30-day money-back guarantee when someone creates or upgrades to a paid account.

Because of this, you need to wait until this 30-day window has elapsed before you are eligible for your affiliate payments.

This is nothing to worry about, and all affiliate programs that offer a guarantee also do this.

Groove also needs to allow an additional 7 days in case of refunds.

So, from the time of the sale until the money lands in your account will typically be between 37-42 days. That’s when you get paid.

When you make a sale, it will show in the GrooveSell area of your GrooveFunnels affiliate account.

However, it will still show $0 until the first 14 days have passed. After this point, that $0 will change the commission amount you will receive for that sale, as long as the person doesn’t cancel or refund.

Can I Make Money With This Program?

Yes, absolutely, GrooveFunnels is a high-paying affiliate program, and it converts well!

How much money you can make as a Groove affiliate will depend on your skill level to a certain extent. However, it will mostly depend on the amount of work you put into it and your commitment to the program.

There are newbie affiliate marketers right now, like Angie Norris, who are absolutely CRUSHING IT!

At the time of writing this article, Angie has already made well over $50,000 with the GrooveFunnels affiliate program, and that was ever before the official launch date, while it was still in beta!

If you like the sound of making big commissions then you may also want to take a look at my article here about other high ticket affiliate offers that you can promote.

How To Promote GrooveFunnels Successfully As An Affiliate

If you’re new to affiliate marketing then there is actually a huge range of ways in which you can promote affiliate products.

If you’re a seasoned veteran then you’ve likely already got your methods nailed down, and you’re probably not reading this part.

However, if you’re new to promoting other people’s products online, or if you just want a few tips that will help you to promote this kind of affiliate product, then below I’m going to share with you several effective ways to promote Groove.

But before we get into that, and regardless of what you’re promoting online, you will have much more success if you do the following:

• Use the product yourself
• Be honest
• Focus on one strategy at first until you get enough momentum before incorporating other strategies
• Follow the terms of service

Methods To Promote GrooveFunnels As An Affiliate

There are many ways you can promote affiliate products and have success online.

However, the methods you choose should reflect your own skill level, expertise, and what you enjoy doing to give yourself the best chance of success.

At this point, I could say to you that you need to start a blog or get into YouTube’ing, or network on social media.

Yes, absolutely all those vehicles can help you.

But, I think it’s more important to talk about some specific strategies that you can use with those platforms to help you succeed, which I will talk about after my little rant that is coming up (fair warning).

Even though GrooveFunnels is a new product on the market, there is a hell of a lot of affiliates trying to promote it.

And not only that but there are also quite a few seasoned veterans in the affiliate marketing world who you’ll also be competing with.

But don’t let that intimidate you or put you off in any way; it really shouldn’t.

Trust me, the market is absolutely HUGE, and there is more than enough to go around for everyone.

You just want to make sure you stand out from the crowd of other people who are also promoting the GrooveFunnels affiliate program.

Even if you’re a complete newbie to affiliate marketing and working in the digital marketing space, don’t worry. You can absolutely have success if you focus and apply yourself to just one strategy and then build on it.

In fact, now is THE BEST TIME to do that. And here’s why…

A Quick Affiliate Story To Inspire You

Here’s a quick story to illustrate my point, and to hopefully inspire you in the fact that, you can absolutely kick-arse (ass in American-English – I’m a Brit, don’t forget) as an affiliate if you apply yourself…

I first got started with affiliate marketing in 2013. It took me a while, but I started having consistent success in 2015 and then started to earn a full-time income from it in late 2016.

ClickFunnels launched in 2014.

I heard about ClickFunnels in 2016.

I didn’t pay attention, because I was too focused on the projects I was involved with at that time.

Although I was earning okay money working on those projects at the time, in hindsight, I could have earned A LOT more money with the ClickFunnels program if I paid attention to it back in 2016.

I told myself, “I’m too busy right now”, and, “I’ll look at it later…”

Well, I did look at it later.

I set up a little site promoting ClickFunnels products at the very end of 2018 and made my first CF commissions around Feb 2019.

I decided to promote CF because I use to use it, I liked it (I still think it’s really good), and I still earn over $1,000 per month in recurring revenue from the work I did a few years ago promoting it. And the articles I have floating around on the internet on different blogs still sign up a handful of new people to use it each month.

But I’d missed the boat to make really big money with the CF affiliate program.

Don’t get me wrong, if I focused on CF now, and put a lot of energy into it, then I could absolutely increase my CF commissions by several thousand dollars per month, maybe more.

It’s still a really popular marketing platform, after all.

But I’d have to put a hell of a lot more work into it now than if I had started actively promoting it back in 2016, or earlier.

That’s because there’s now so much competition to compete against.

The GrooveFunnels affiliate program has only just launched last year.

If you’re promoting it now then you’re getting in at the ground level…

and it’s pretty much anyone’s game.

The second point about all this is that CF also used to offer a tier-2 commission. I think it was 5%. But that’s stopped now for any new affiliates that sign up to promote CF.

Their first level commission rate also used to be 40%, but for all new affiliates, it’s now only 30%.

I was lucky that I joined their affiliate program before they made these changes so I’m still locked in at 40%.

We have no idea what GrooveFunnels will do in the future. In time as they grow in popularity and they don’t need as many affiliates to promote them, they may also do a similar thing.

So better get in on the GrooveFunnels affiliate program now if it appeals to you.

There are newbies crushing it with the GrooveFunnels program right now.

Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Of course, you can do what you want with your time, and it won’t make one bit of difference to me.

But if you’re serious about making a good or great income online as an affiliate, and if you like the GrooveFunnels product, and you will allow me to give you a bit of advice, then I highly recommend you take the opportunity right now and get promoting.

If you found that interesting and you want to know more about CF and GF, the similarities, and the differences, then you can take a look at my ClickFunnels v GrooveFunnels article here.

Of course, there are other worthy contenders to consider promoting too, such as Kartra, the predecessor to GrooveFunnels, which was also built by Mike Filsaime.

While Kartra and Groove are similar, there are also a number of key differences between the two, which we explain in detail in our Kartra vs GrooveFunnels article here.

Strategies To Help You Promote GrooveFunnels

As promised, here are a few strategies that you can use to help you promote GrooveFunnels and stand out from the crowd.

Niche Down

For a product like GrooveFunnels, when you think about it, it’s a product that will be helpful for pretty much any type of business that operates online, or any business that needs a presence online to generate leads.

That’s pretty damn exciting.

This is the reason why I said earlier that it is absolutely enough for everyone to go around in the GrooveFunnels affiliate program.

So, to niche down, you want to focus on one type of user, or target market group.

Here are just a few examples of target markets you can focus on:

• eCommerce business owners
• Podcasters
• Instagram influencers
• Business coaches
• Digital product owners
• Affiliate marketers
• Photographers
• Massage therapists
• Real estate agents (a very good one)
• Solicitors
• Book authors
• Fitness instructors

This is just a very small number of niches as an example for you.

There is a HUGE number of sub-niches that GrooveFunnels will appeal to when you sit down and think about all the different things it can do, and the people it can help.

If you can specialize and appeal to a small target market, not only will you find it easier to promote GrooveFunnels as an affiliate, you will set yourself up as the expert, the go-to person for your sub-niche, and stand out front of the crowd.

I guarantee you that some Groove affiliates are doing this right now.

But they can’t cover every niche. There are just too many niches out there that Groove appeals to.

Create Your Own Bonuses

Offering relevant bonuses to your target sub-niche can often help to push them over the edge to sign up.

Using bonuses can also help people to decide to sign up with you specifically, instead of another affiliate because they also want your bonuses.

Here are a few tips for good bonuses that can work well to help you promote the GrooveFunnels affiliate program:

• Make them relevant to GrooveFunnels and your sub-niche audience
• It can help to provide bonuses that make it easier for your sub-niche to use GrooveFunnels
• Free software bonuses are often popular and highly appealing to offer along with this type of product (however, they are harder to come by)
• Too many bonuses can look desperate and off-putting
• Buying PLR products can work as bonuses, but often most of them are of poor quality and look cheap. If you go down this route then spend a bit more money to buy the rights to good quality products and get your own covers designed for them
• Get someone to design eye-catching and highly appealing eCovers for your bonuses

You can use one of these guys on Fiverr to create very professional-looking ones inexpensively.

Create Helpful “How To” Content

Nowadays, as much as 93% of people rely on online reviews before they make a purchase. This also includes written product reviews, short testimonials, and video reviews.

That’s why product review articles and videos work so well.

A lot of people want to get all the details about the product from someone who’s already using it, or who has tested it out.

If you’re going to do this, one of the most important things is to make sure your reviews are honest and factual.

Create A Case Study

People love a case study.

If it’s a product like GrooveFunnels that can actually help you to achieve a specific result then why not create a case study and show the results you achieved?

This not only carries with it a lot of credibility, but it’s also very engaging for people to look at your case study who want to use the product for the same or similar thing that you are showing.

GrooveFunnels Affiliate Program: My Final Thoughts

I covered a lot in my review of this affiliate program. However, there is quite a lot to know about this new marketing platform.

As you can see, the Groove affiliate program is pretty awesome and is set to become one of the best partying affiliate programs in time.

With its generous commission levels, its 2-tiered commission structure, and recurring commissions, you can soon build up a very nice recurring monthly income for yourself if you choose to focus and do the work needed to promote the GrooveFunnels product.

If you are thinking of promoting GrooveFunnels then I highly recommend you sign up as an affiliate today and lock in your commission structure, because it might change in the future.

If you are a serious affiliate marketer, or if you’re serious about building a large income with the GrooveFunnels affiliate program, then I recommend you seriously consider upgrading your own GrooveFunnels account to Platinum in order to receive the higher commission rate.

Best of luck!
