Side Hustle Summit 2026 FAQ

Side Hustle Summit 2026 is a free live virtual event hosted by Russell Brunson and Iman Gadzhi, running September 6 to September 13, 2026. Across five live sessions it walks a complete beginner through choosing a side hustle, building it with AI, finding customers, and making the first sale. The finale is a full side hustle built live on camera.

Yes. General admission to all five live sessions is free and no payment details are required to register. There is an optional paid VIP upgrade, and a paid program is presented during the event, but you can attend every live session without spending anything.

The Summit is co-hosted by Russell Brunson, co-founder of ClickFunnels, and Iman Gadzhi, the entrepreneur and educator behind Educate and GrowYourAgency. This is the first time the two are teaching together on the same stage. Myron Golden, Eileen Wilder and Eric Thomas have also been associated with the event as guests.

The Summit runs from September 6 to September 13, 2026. There are five live sessions: September 6, 7, 8, 9 and the live build finale on September 13. Every session starts at 1:00 PM Eastern Time and runs about an hour.

Sessions start at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. That is 10:00 AM Pacific, 6:00 PM in the UK, 7:00 PM in Central Europe, 10:30 PM in India, and 3:00 AM the following day in Sydney. The schedule page on this site converts every session to your device timezone automatically.

The first four sessions run back to back from September 6 to 9. The finale, where a complete side hustle is built live, lands on Saturday September 13 so that attendees have a weekend slot and a few days to apply what came before it.

Registration takes an email address and nothing else. No credit card, no application, no interview. Once you register you receive the session links and the replay emails at the address you used, so use one you actually check.

Yes. Registration stays open during the event week, and registering mid-week still gives you access to the remaining live sessions plus the replay links for the sessions that already aired. Joining late costs you the live Q&A, not the material.

No. Attendees watch; they are not on camera. The Summit is also explicitly built for people who want to build an online income without becoming a personality or posting their face anywhere.

Yes. Each session replay is sent to registered attendees, typically within 24 hours of the session ending. Replays are usually available for a limited window rather than permanently, so watching within a day or two is the safe assumption.

Replay windows for launch-style events like this are short by design, commonly 24 to 48 hours per session and closing entirely once the event window ends. Treat every replay as expiring and watch it the same day it arrives.

The optional VIP upgrade is sold alongside free registration and typically adds daily pre-session content before each main session and access to a private implementation community alongside other attendees. General admission remains free whether or not you take it.

Yes, and it is worth knowing up front. The Summit is a launch-style event: the free training is genuine, and a paid program is presented during the week, reported at a core offer of around 1,995 US dollars with a companion offer near 995 US dollars. You are never required to buy anything to attend or to use the free training.

It is built for them. The stated premise is starting with no business experience, no existing audience, no startup capital and no desire to be on camera. If you already run a profitable online business, expect much of the material to be foundational.

The sessions themselves are about five hours total. Actually building what is taught is the real cost. Plan on several hours a week for the first month if you want the training to turn into anything, and be honest with yourself about whether those hours exist before you commit.

The Summit positions itself around starting without capital, using AI tools to replace the costs that used to require hiring people. In practice most online models still involve small tool subscriptions, so budget for a modest monthly software cost rather than zero.

A device with a browser and a stable internet connection. Sessions stream in the browser, so a laptop or desktop is the comfortable choice, but a phone or tablet works. Nothing needs to be installed.

No. It is a real, free event run by two well-known operators with long public track records, and the training delivered during the week is genuine. It is also a marketing funnel with a paid program at the end, and headline income figures quoted at events like this represent top performers rather than typical results. Attend with both facts in mind.

Live sessions stop, replay windows close, and the paid program cart closes shortly after the finale. What you keep is whatever you wrote down and whatever you actually built during the week. The attendees who get something out of it are the ones who build alongside the sessions instead of watching passively.

Yes. The Summit is fully virtual and open worldwide. The only real friction is the time difference, since sessions run at 1:00 PM Eastern. If that lands badly in your timezone, the replays cover you.
