Get Paid To Share
Share a Parking Spot.
Share a story.
Share a business.
Share an Island.
Share this website.
Earn when qualifying Freak Sites product purchases happen through your properly tracked affiliate path.
That is ShareMerchant.com.
It is not complicated.
You find something useful inside the Freak Sites network.
You show it to somebody.
They look at the page and think:
“Wait a minute. I could use one of those.”
If they complete a qualifying purchase through your properly tracked affiliate path, you can earn a commission under the current program terms.
You are sharing a real product.
Not selling a dream.
What Are You Actually Sharing?
A Freak Sites Parking Spot is a full-page advertising and publishing page built around something real.
Depending on the Island, someone might use one to:
- sell a car;
- showcase a vehicle;
- promote a business;
- advertise a vacation rental;
- promote a race;
- document a trip;
- show a product or service;
- tell a story;
- share an experience;
- or give something useful its own page and URL.
A Parking Spot can include photographs, writing, video embeds, links, contact information and a public view counter.
A standard Parking Spot currently costs $7.
That is the product you are introducing people to.
Not a membership.
Not a recruiting package.
A page.
Somebody either sees value in having one or they don’t.
That keeps the whole thing pretty simple.
The Easiest Sales Pitch Is A Real Parking Spot
Do not start by explaining affiliate percentages.
Do not start drawing circles on a whiteboard.
And please don’t corner your relatives at Thanksgiving to explain “multiple income streams.” 😂
Show them the product.
Show somebody a Parking Spot.
Let them see the photos.
The videos.
The story.
The links.
The URL.
Then say:
“If you’ve got $7 lying around, what would you park?”
That is probably a better sales pitch than anything else on this website.
How You Get Paid
Joining the Freak Sites Affiliate Program is free.
You are not paid because somebody joins.
You are not paid because somebody clicks.
You are not paid because somebody registers.
Qualifying product purchases create the revenue.
The current commission structure is:
- 20% — Direct affiliate
- 15% — First connected position
- 10% — Second connected position
- 5% — Third connected position
- 5% — Fourth connected position
On a standard $7 Parking Spot, that can mean:
- $1.40 — Direct
- $1.05 — First connected position
- $0.70 — Second connected position
- $0.35 — Third connected position
- $0.35 — Fourth connected position
Total potential affiliate payout:
$3.85 of the $7 purchase.
Yeah.
Freak Sites is willing to give away 55% of seven bucks. 😂
Because 45% of a transaction somebody else helped create beats 100% of a transaction that never happened.
“Wait…That’s Only $1.40.”
Correct.
If it happens once.
One commission is not a business.
One customer is not a business.
One affiliate is not a business.
That is why ShareMerchant is not built around convincing you that $1.40 is exciting.
It is built around understanding what happens when a small useful product can move repeatedly through more pages, more people, more markets and more Islands.
Small transaction.
Potentially large distribution.
For the deeper explanation, I built an entire page around that:
👉 How The Freak Sites Income Engine Works
Build Your Own Pages Too
This is where I think ShareMerchant becomes more interesting than a normal affiliate link.
You do not have to spend your life promoting somebody else’s page.
Create your own Parking Spots.
One page is one page.
Ten pages start becoming a library.
Fifty pages can start looking like your own little Channel.
Depending on the Island, your pages might include:
- cars;
- businesses;
- products;
- trips;
- vacation rentals;
- races;
- properties;
- services;
- reviews;
- experiences;
- or anything else that actually fits the site.
Now you have more than one affiliate link floating around.
You have actual pages people can discover and share.
Use Social Media For What It’s Good At
Use Facebook.
Use X.
Use LinkedIn.
Use YouTube.
Use Rumble.
Text people.
Email people.
Whatever actually works for you.
I am not trying to replace social media.
I like having somewhere to send people when social media finally gives me their attention.
Create the Parking Spot.
Grab the URL.
Then distribute it wherever you already spend time.
Social media can create attention.
The Parking Spot gives that attention somewhere to land.
AI Can Make Building The Page Easier
I use AI.
A lot.
But here is the mistake:
Do not give AI three sentences and publish whatever robotic masterpiece comes back. 😂
Give it something real.
- Your facts
- Your photos
- Your experience
- Your opinion
- Your offer
- Your links
- What you’re actually trying to accomplish
Let AI help organize it.
Then fix the final version until it sounds like you.
AI is the wrench.
The wrench still needs something real to work on.
Pick An Island
You do not have to promote everything.
Pick something you already understand.
CarsFreak.com
The broader automotive world.
CoolCarGuy.com
Cool cars, automotive stories, businesses, videos and experiences.
HousingFreak.com
Housing, properties, rentals, businesses, services and related ideas.
TravelersFreak.com
Trips, destinations, resorts, vacation rentals, businesses and travel experiences.
RunnerFreak.com
Races, runners, coaches, products, events and running stories.
More Islands can be added as the network grows.
Because apparently one website would have been too simple.
How To Get Started
STEP 1 — Pick The Island That Fits
Cars.
Housing.
Travel.
Running.
Whatever you already know or care about.
STEP 2 — Join The Affiliate Program
Joining is free.
There is no required purchase.
No monthly autoship.
No inventory.
No shipping.
Your affiliate account gives you the properly tracked path you can use when introducing people to qualifying products.
STEP 3 — Build Something Or Share Something
Create a Parking Spot.
Or find one somebody else already built.
Then share it.
If somebody sees the product and wants one too, show them where to go.
That is a lot easier than trying to “sell an affiliate opportunity.”
Use ShareMerchant.com As Your Funnel
This is one of the reasons I built this website.
You should not have to explain Freak Sites from scratch every time somebody asks:
“What the heck are you doing?”
Send them here.
Let ShareMerchant explain:
- what a Parking Spot is;
- how the Affiliate Program works;
- why the connected positions exist;
- how to create pages;
- how to use AI;
- how to use social media for distribution;
- how the different Islands work;
- and how to get started.
Then let the person decide if it makes sense.
No chasing required.
👉 Use This Site As Your Funnel
What About MLM?
Somebody is eventually going to see multiple connected commission positions and ask.
Fair question.
The important distinction is that qualifying product purchases create commissions.
Joining the Affiliate Program is free.
There is no required product purchase just to participate as an affiliate.
You are not paid merely because somebody signs up underneath you.
You are not paid for collecting names.
The Parking Spot is the product.
If you want the longer explanation, I already wrote it.
The Influencer Playbook
If you want more ideas for actually distributing the pages instead of staring at your affiliate dashboard waiting for something magical to happen, I built the Influencer Playbook.
It covers things like:
- where to share;
- what to say;
- how to approach people who already have audiences;
- how to use your own Parking Spots as examples;
- how to use AI without sounding like a robot;
- how to use ShareMerchant as the explanation page;
- and how to think across multiple Islands.
The goal is not to build some giant “team.”
The goal is to get useful product activity moving.
Who Is This For?
Probably somebody who can say one of these things:
“I already know people in cars.”
“I work with landlords.”
“I organize races.”
“I travel all the time.”
“I own a business.”
“I know creators.”
“I already post on social media anyway.”
“I belong to clubs or groups where people actually buy things.”
Great.
You already stand in front of some kind of market.
ShareMerchant shows you how to introduce a small digital advertising product into that market and potentially earn when qualifying purchases happen.
Start With One
You do not need 10,000 affiliates.
You do not need 100,000 followers.
You do not need some ridiculous five-year business plan.
Find one useful Parking Spot.
Show it to somebody who would understand it.
Or create one yourself.
Then see what happens.
If somebody else looks at it and says:
“Wait a minute. I could use one of those.”
Now you have something.
Share something real.
Build something useful.
Get paid when qualifying product activity happens.
Get Paid To Share.
That’s ShareMerchant.
For the Lawyers
The Freak Sites Affiliate Program is free to join. Commissions are paid only on qualifying purchases that are properly tracked and attributed under the current Affiliate Program terms. Product pricing, commission percentages, connected positions, payout requirements and other program terms may change.
Nothing on ShareMerchant.com guarantees views, traffic, leads, customers, sales, commissions or income. Examples involving commissions or scale are educational illustrations only and should not be interpreted as earnings projections or promises of financial results. Actual results can vary substantially and may be zero.
Parking Spots are online advertising and publishing products. They should be purchased because the product itself is useful to the purchaser, not because of any expectation of affiliate earnings.
