As I write this Healthy Commissions review, the “doors” to enter this program are closed, but that is temporary and in the meantime, I wanted to share what I discovered about it, why it’s not a scam and the pros and cons to joining it (or not) when the doors do eventually open.
5 important disclaimers about this Healthy Commissions review:
1) I’m not a member of this program.
2) However, I’ve made money from the same things they teach (monetizing in the health and fitness niche), and have made several six figure incomes through it (I will give you proof, don’t worry).
3) I am also an active and profitable “super affiliate” in more than just the health and fitness niche, and help people looking to make money in it.
4) I’ve gathered much of the info in this review from both my experiences in this field + info I’ve found on other blogs and videos (which I will share if you wish to look at them yourself).
5) And this review will be enough to give you everything you need to make an informed decision on whether to join Healthy Commissions or potentially another program where you can learn the same stuff (for less).
Now with that said, let’s get to this Healthy Commissions review:
A short summary and review of Healthy Commissions:
Who made Healthy Commissions?
Gerry Kramer and Rob Jones.
How much does Healthy Commissions cost to join?
- One time $2,497.
- Or 3 monthly payments of $997.
As you’ll also soon learn, there are additional costs to implement what this program teaches (paid ads) and that can be a lot too.
What does Healthy Commissions teach you?
It’s a 6 module training course in which you learn how to make money online in the health and fitness niche and this is done through:
- Things like promoting Clickbank products as an affiliate (in the health and fitness niche).
- Setting up Facebook Ads and images to get viewers to see those ads and click on them.
- To get them to the offer page and/or opt in page to later sell them the products.
- Replicating the successful campaigns and scaling them to grow your profits.
My rating for Healthy Commissions: 2.5 out of 5 stars
Do I recommend Healthy Commissions? Yes but there’s better options.
Based on everything I’ve seen (and know about this business already), Healthy Commissions is a legitimate program and I do believe their teachings can truly be applied and help you make money.
However, the 4 biggest drawbacks to me are this:
- Large price point (It’s legit yes, but I will rarely recommend high ticket programs and this is no exception).
- Paid ads are a complicated topic that takes time and a lot of money to learn in many cases.
- Paid ads are a legit way to make money online, but they are also quite advanced (not beginner friendly).
- The doors are currently closed so if you are anxious to begin, you will have to wait.
All this being said, the program is (again) legitimate and if you wish to wait and can pay the money to enter, I would do it. But if you’re not someone who can afford this, then:
Alternatives:
A deep dive review of Healthy Commissions:
Let’s start with the main focus of this program which is:
To teach you to be a successful affiliate in the health and fitness “niche”. Truth be told, this really is a BIG niche and in my experience, one of the most profitable ones you can make money from (but it depends on many factors).
There are numerous affiliate programs you can sign up with to make this work with. Here are 2 big ones to consider:
- Clickbank’s affiliate program (the more beginner friendly one).
- Beachbody’s affiliate program (better for promoting fitness products).
There are others, but because of the way this program teaches you to market these products, you are better off focusing on the medium to high ticket affiliate offers.
How Healthy Commissions teaches you to do this:
Again, there is a 6 module training program which goes over the details of this but it’s basically:
- Making websites promoting those offers or making opt in pages to get people to warm up to then buy the affiliate offers.
- You market those offers on paid ad networks. You also learn how to make/get images which will naturally get people to click on those ads (more traffic, clicks and potential sales).
- Then the training will help you convert those clicks into buyers basically.
- And like I said before, from there, it’s all about scaling (growing the successful ad campaigns and making money from it).
What they say on their website about making 4 figures a day doing this is possible (I have done it before).
My 6 figure results at making money online in the health and fitness “niche”:
So I promised you proof and this is the section of the review where I want to give you it:
- For starters, when I first got into affiliate marketing, I was involved in this same niche, promoting Clickbank products.
- In the beginning I made most of my money doing article marketing and promoting the products there.
- I later got into email marketing and promoted the products through that means.
- My biggest success however came from paid ads where I promoted Clickbank offers for years and earned about $350,000 in the process. For proof, see my Bing Ads report here as well as my 1 page site $500,000 success story.
In fact, I’ll tell you this, Bing Ads is one of the best PPC networks to do affiliate marketing with.
I also have 2 Clickbank diplomas from these experiences to show further evidence of my success:
So when I say I have a lot of experience in this topic, I’m not kidding.
And this is important, because the experience I have on this is directly relevant to this review of Healthy Commissions, because I can tell you what to expect when you start doing this and help you avoid the mistakes I made when I was coming up (I didn’t just get these results right away, I made a lot of mistakes along the way).

I had to research this program from third party sources because the doors are closed, but the following sources helped me get this info out to you:
The pros and cons of what Healthy Commissions teaches you:
First the pros:
1) In it’s most basic sense, everything you learn in this program is legitimate and it works. Again, I can attest to this personally as I have done it before. If you wish to join this program, here’s a link to Healthy Commissions.
2) The training is comprehensive from everything I’ve seen and you do get help from the owners (one of the reasons I think they closed their doors was to help their existing members and put time into that).
3) If you’re into anything in the health and fitness niche, then you can truly get a lot of value and results from this program.
Now the cons:
Let me first say the cons I have to list here are more than the pros and this isn’t because the program is bad, but because of the way you learn to make money online (paid ads), this comes with it’s own risks.
1) Paid ads is a tough thing to master (and it can cost you a lot of money).
I have done it for years and I can tell you this: If you’re a beginner (or you have little money), I do NOT recommend you get involved with this. It takes a lot of time and money to master this, even with the best training.
Paid ads is like a moving target in the online marketing world.
You can aim correctly and do everything right, but there is no guarantee it’ll work. And this is why I don’t focus so much on paid ads anymore in my personal affiliate work.
If it was consistent, I’d just retire on that alone, but I stopped doing it because of how volatile the paid ad world is. I now do a lot of blogging and YouTube (I still do paid ads but focus less on it).
2) The price to join this program is high (although I get why):
So you’re spending several $1,000’s on this and I get that it comes with help from the owners/experts at this. It makes sense. Yet I can tell you that other programs exist out there where you can learn this material (and get expert help) for less.
Wealthy Affiliate is the first and top choice that comes to mind (and yes I do promote it but you get my coaching when you join without any extra cost).
3) Paid ad costs will come on top of the membership fee:
How much you spend on paid ads depends on your budget and again, there is no guarantee it will work.
I’m an expert at paid ads by every understanding out there, and I can tell you that most of my ads fail or don’t profit. It’s a difficult thing to figure out even if you have all the right training/guidance and help down. But that’s just the nature of paid ads and any legitimate marketer will tell you this.
Conclusions: Healthy Commissions is legit, but:
Besides being overly expensive and there being the paid ads element to boot, here’s something else I would advise you to consider:
The health and fitness niche is a bit broad to begin with. And if you want to succeed, here’s why this is important:
Niches are much more specific than that (think of healthy skin for women as an example of a niche) and while yes, it is profitable, what really helps in your success here is actually loving your niche.
For instance, if I talk to someone who loves outdoor niches like this, but they neglect that passion and try to market in something health and fitness related, I would say their odds of success are reduced because the same passion isn’t there.
And you can make a real affiliate business work for you in any niche you love. Don’t feel compelled to enter niches you think are profitable when they don’t match your interest.
Furthermore, paid ads aren’t the only way to go (there’s less risky, but equally profitable methods):
If you’re a beginner or not someone ready to invest in paid ads, consider starting a blog in a niche you love. You can grow that blog to get free traffic (not spend a penny on ads), and make a lot of money from that too.
Like I said before, I used to do nothing but paid ads, but my reliance on that made me go broke (true story) and that taught me to rely on diverse means of affiliate income and here’s what I learned:
- Blogging is the best place to start. You find a niche you love and build out your niche blog through that.
- Enter into YouTube (if you’re not shy that is).
- Then enter into paid ads afterwards. By that point, you understand the business well enough and have money to put into paid ads to scale.
Enter Wealthy Affiliate, an alternative Healthy Commissions:
Wealthy Affiliate is where I learned how to make money as an affiliate in any niche I was passionate about, including blogging, YouTube and paid ads. They’re free to try and you get access to experts like myself to guide you through the process if you get lost.
This already makes the “cost” of this program a lot more competitive to Healthy Commissions and while I do like that program, in my opinion, I just think you get a better deal at Wealthy Affiliate and arguably more from it.
If you’re on the fence about starting an affiliate business and really need guidance, I really believe Wealthy Affiliate is where you’ll get that proper direction (and you can try it for free if you’re doubtful anyway).
