What is Monetise Mania?
Monetise Mania is the 90-day sales competition bundled into Monetise, and it is where nearly every revenue number in the Side Hustle Summit's marketing comes from. Below is the short list of what the vendor actually states, the one point where two vendor sources contradict each other, and the much longer list of things nobody publishes at all.
It is a 90-day sales contest, included free as “Bonus 1” with the $1,995 Monetise program. The duration and the inclusion are confirmed on monetise.com. The headline prize figures are not: the widely quoted “$250,000 in prizes” appears on Whop’s blog, not on the vendor’s own offer page, and Whop is a platform Iman Gadzhi co-owns. No leaderboard, no ranking rules and no winners list are published anywhere.
The spelling, first
The vendor spells it Monetise, British style, across monetise.com and the product itself. “Monetize Mania” with a z is the common American misspelling and lands on the same thing. Both are used below only where a source used them.
What the vendor states
Monetise Mania is listed in the Monetise offer stack as Bonus 1, a 90-day competition. The positioning on the offer page is that prior experience does not matter: in the vendor's own words, everyone starts from scratch and anyone can win. Entry is included in the $1,995 price. We found no separate purchase, and no upsell to enter.
On prizes, the vendor's own page is deliberately vague. It describes prizes “worth tens of thousands” and states that the top 20 finishers get an in-person invitation to one of the company's offices. It does not publish a dollar total, and it does not publish a prize breakdown.
The contradiction worth knowing about
This is the most useful thing on this page, and it is the reason we cannot simply repeat the figure everyone else repeats.
| Source | What it says about the McLaren |
|---|---|
| Whop company blog (October 15, 2025) | Describes a 90-day contest with $250K in prizes, “including a McLaren and exclusive masterminds.” Reads as: the McLaren is a prize. |
| monetise.com offer page (checked August 31, 2026) | Says a 19-year-old participant named Armando “made $111k and bought himself a McLaren.” Reads as: a participant purchased a car with claimed earnings. Not a prize. |
Those are two different claims about the same car, and both come from the vendor's side of the table. Whop is not an independent source here: Gadzhi has co-owned it since April 2025, and the post in question is Whop's own case study of its own client. We cannot resolve which version is accurate, so we publish the conflict rather than pick a side. Nothing we found shows a McLaren being handed to a contest winner.
What nobody publishes
Three absences matter more than anything in the marketing, because each one is a thing you would need in order to judge your own odds.
- The ranking rule. No page states what competitors are actually ranked on. Gross revenue, net revenue, how refunds are handled, whether affiliate or referral sales count: none of it is published. “Tracked sales” is the phrase used, and “tracked” is never defined.
- The results distribution. There is no leaderboard, no winners list and no placement record for any edition. Not a single finisher below the handful named in promotion is identifiable, and no source states what the median or bottom-half participant earned.
- The prior experience of the people named. The vendor names Armando and his $111k. It does not say whether he had run a business before, and no independent source establishes it. Anyone telling you the top finishers were seasoned operators, or that they were all beginners, is guessing.
The earnings claims carry no disclosure
This is a straightforward, checkable finding. Monetise's pages carry specific revenue
figures: $23.9M+ in tracked sales sitewide, $8.9M, $15M and
$31M for successive 90-day runs, and the individual $111k. We
could not find an income disclosure, an earnings disclaimer or a typical-results statement
attached to any of them. On the date we checked, monetise.com/disclaimer
returned a 404.
That is worth stating plainly and worth keeping in proportion. The absence of a disclosure is not proof that a figure is false. It does mean no published basis exists for treating any of these numbers as a typical outcome, and the FTC's stated position on earnings claims is that advertisers should not present exceptional results as representative ones.
How many editions have run
The vendor implies at least three. Its event page describes the sequence as $8.9M in tracked sales the first time, $15M the second and $31M the third. What it never does is name those runs, give them dates, or confirm that all three were Monetise Mania rather than a differently branded challenge. Searches for “Monetise Mania 2” and “Monetise Mania 3” return no vendor page defining either. If you are trying to work out which contest a given testimonial came from, that information is not published.

What this means if you are deciding
Monetise Mania is a real bonus with a real duration, and for the right person a 90-day competitive sprint is genuinely motivating. That is the honest case for it. The honest case against treating it as a reason to buy is simpler: a contest whose ranking rules, results distribution and winner list are all unpublished cannot tell you anything about your own likely outcome. Use it as a bonus you might enjoy, not as evidence about what the program returns.
