HOW SHARE MERCHANT WORKS
Sell real advertising. Find customers. Get paid to share.
Here’s a business idea that shouldn’t require a 47-slide presentation to explain. 😂
I built online advertising products that people and businesses can actually use. If you help introduce customers who buy those products, the participating websites can pay you a commission.
And if you’re an independent advertising professional, you can use those same products as components in services you sell to your own clients.
That’s the Share Merchant idea.
FIRST, WHAT ARE WE SELLING?
The basic product is called a Parking Spot.
It’s a full-page advertisement on a niche website, with its own URL, room for writing, photos, supported videos, contact information, links and a call to action.
Current standard price: $7 one time.
No annual $99 subscription. No scheduled renewal. No scheduled expiration, subject to the website’s current rules and continued operation.
A Parking Spot can be used to advertise a car, a home, a business, a vacation rental, a service, an event, a product or a story that belongs on the website where it’s published.
THERE ARE OPTIONAL ADVERTISING PRODUCTS TOO
The current CoolCarGuy.com product line includes:
| Product | Price | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Parking Spot | $7 | One full-page advertisement with its own URL |
| StoryDriveâ„¢ 1000 | $25 | 1,000 additional recorded public-counter views for one eligible Parking Spot, under current terms |
| YouTube Video Package | $49 | Placement of one customer-supplied, approved finished video on Cool Car Guy’s or Freak Sites YouTube and Rumble channels, linked to an eligible Parking Spot |
Other participating websites may have different optional product offerings, prices and conditions. Always check the actual selling website.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO BUILD A BUSINESS AROUND THIS
1. Become an advertising service provider
Suppose you know a Realtor, car dealer, vacation rental owner, race organizer or small business that needs more useful advertising.
You could offer to write, photograph, organize, publish and promote advertising for that customer.
You decide what to charge for your own work and services. The platform’s published product costs are separate from your client-service fees.
For example, an independently priced $150 campaign that uses a $7 Parking Spot has $7 in platform purchase cost before your labor, taxes and other expenses. The $150 is simply an illustrative service price—not a platform price or suggested fee.
You’re selling your work, your expertise and your customer service.
2. Apply to become an affiliate
On participating websites, you can apply for the Affiliate Program for free. Approval is required.
An eligible direct affiliate can currently receive 20% of qualifying purchases under the standard commission schedule.
That means one properly attributed $7 Parking Spot purchase can produce a $1.40 direct commission.
A customer who comes back and makes additional qualifying purchases on the same website may create further commissions if the customer remains properly attributed and all current program conditions are satisfied.
That’s why a book of advertising customers matters more than one isolated commission.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE FIVE COMMISSION POSITIONS?
The standard Freak Sites structure provides for 20%, 15%, 10%, 5% and 5% across eligible positions in one connected affiliate path.
You don’t have to recruit someone to earn direct commissions. You don’t have to buy a starter kit, maintain autoship or meet monthly personal-purchase quotas to unlock the basic structure.
Free registrations and recruiting alone pay nothing. Completed, qualifying product purchases are what create commissions.
WHERE DOES SHAREMERCHANT.COM FIT?
Right here: in the explanation.
ShareMerchant.com is not an advertising Island. It doesn’t sell Parking Spots, manage affiliate accounts or process affiliate commissions.
CoolCarGuy.com is a separate automotive business. Freak Sites consists of eight niche websites. They share a similar advertising concept, but their customer accounts, affiliate enrollments and tracking are separate.
Share Merchant simply explains the opportunity and helps people find the right participating website.
I built the advertising. You can build customers around it.
