We're a real homeschool family in Colorado and we partner with a wellness telehealth company that pays us recurring commissions — from our kitchen table, on our schedule, without stocking a single product or building anything from scratch.

"We didn't want another side hustle that felt like a second job. This one fits into the margins of our life — and it actually pays."
— Brandon + Courtney Mericle
No complicated comp plans. Here's what actually happens.
You join our wellness telehealth partner's affiliate program. You get your own referral link, a simple back-end dashboard, and access to everything you need to share it. You don't need to be a doctor, nutritionist, or health expert — you just share your family's real story.
Starts at $79We use this platform ourselves. That's the whole point. You're not pushing something you've never tried — you're sharing something that's part of your family's life. Content you're already creating (homeschool, health, family) maps perfectly to this audience.
No selling requiredWhen someone signs up through your link, they become a monthly subscriber to their wellness plan. That means you earn a recurring commission every single month — not a one-time payment. One client can pay you for years.
Recurring monthly incomeWe're not talking about 40-hour weeks or hustling 24/7. We're talking about 30 minutes here, a post there, a conversation when it makes sense. The compounding nature of recurring income means your income grows even when you take a day off.
Compounding over timeWe're not selling a dream. We're sharing what we actually do. Book a call and ask us anything — including the parts that feel too good to be true.
"The best income stream is one that keeps paying you long after you've moved on to your next thing."
— Courtney Mericle
If two or three of these hit home — it's worth 20 minutes of your time.
We're Brandon and Courtney Mericle. We own Surge Athletics gym in Colorado Springs, homeschool our two daughters Carsyn (13) and Skylar (10), and we've been building income on our own terms since 2010. We started sharing our wellness partnership income stream because families kept asking how we make it work — and we figured the best way to answer was to just show them.
The call is 20 minutes. No pitch deck, no pressure, no script. We'll talk about what we actually do, how the partnership works, what the income looks like at different stages, and whether it's a realistic fit for where you are right now. If it's not the right time, we'll tell you that too. We're building real relationships, not a cold funnel.
This platform gives you two ways to earn. The first is simple affiliate income — you refer clients, they subscribe, you earn a recurring commission. No team required. The second option is to build a team if you want to grow bigger and faster — but that's entirely your choice, not a requirement. You can earn great commissions just by referring clients and never recruit a single person.
No medical background required. The telehealth provider handles all clinical aspects. Your role is sharing your story and referring people who are interested. Licensed professionals handle everything else.
Never. There's zero inventory, zero product orders, and zero shipping. You share a link. When someone signs up, you get paid. The company handles fulfillment, support, and everything in between.
We treat this like a real business — because it is. But it fits inside the margins of our homeschool day. We're not clocking 40 hours a week. Some weeks it's 5. The recurring nature of the income means momentum builds even when life gets busy.
Partners range widely. Some earn a few hundred a month as a supplement to other income. Others have built this into five and six figures annually. We'll talk honestly about where you're starting from and what's realistic on the call.
You'll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link. We'll talk for 20 minutes. If it's a good fit and you want to move forward, we'll walk you through next steps. If it's not the right time, no hard feelings — we're not in the business of pressuring people.
Before the partnership conversation, many families start with our $17 guide — Your First $500 From Home. It walks through exactly how we built our first income stream online as a homeschool family, step by step.
Get the Guide — $17No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what we do, how it works, and whether it makes sense for your family right now.
