EXPLORE THE ISLANDS
Two separate businesses. Nine websites. One basic advertising concept.
I’ve built nine niche advertising websites using similar technology and the same basic idea: a full-page Parking Spot that people can create, update and promote.
But there’s an important distinction.
CoolCarGuy.com is its own automotive business.
Freak Sites is a separate company with eight niche websites.
ShareMerchant.com is simply the marketing website explaining the products and opportunities.
COOL CAR GUY — THE SEPARATE AUTOMOTIVE FLAGSHIP
COOLCARGUY.COM
Interesting cars, collectors, automotive businesses, builders, creators, events, stories and more.
It’s a curated automotive website, not simply a place to list every ordinary car.
The current standard Parking Spot price is $7 one time.
Current optional products include StoryDrive™ 1000 at $25 and the customer-supplied YouTube Video Package at $49.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE?
Go where you have something real to advertise or people who might need advertising.
A Realtor might begin with Housing Freak. A running coach with Runner Freak. A car enthusiast with Cool Car Guy or Cars Freak. A travel business with Travelers Freak.
And if you work in several markets, you can explore more than one website.
ONE IMPORTANT AFFILIATE RULE
Each participating Island has its own separate affiliate enrollment, tracking and commission records.
An affiliate link issued by Cars Freak does not credit purchases on Runner Freak.
To promote multiple websites as an affiliate, you must follow each website’s own registration and approval process.
If somebody introduced you to Share Merchant, ask that person for the approved affiliate link to the actual website you want to use.
Or simply explore on your own.
START WITH ONE
Visit a website. Look at its real Parking Spots. Check its current pricing and rules.
Then decide whether you’d rather buy advertising, offer independent advertising services, or apply to promote the products as an affiliate.
One useful website and one real customer are a better starting point than nine empty accounts.
