🌴 HOW THIS ISLAND PAYS YOU

I BUILT THE PRODUCT. IF YOU HELP SELL IT, I SHARE THE MONEY.

That’s really the whole thing.

If you want to know what you actually do with a Writers Freak Parking Spot — how you build something worth seeing, put it in front of attention and turn some of that attention into customers — that’s How The Income Engine Works.

This page is simpler:

SOMEBODY BUYS.
YOU GET PAID.
THEY BUY AGAIN.
YOU CAN GET PAID AGAIN.


  1. You apply.
  2. I approve the affiliates.
  3. Once you’re approved, you get your affiliate link.

You do not have to buy a Parking Spot to become an affiliate.

  • No starter kit.
  • No autoship.
  • No monthly product order.
  • No required Parking Spot.
  • No requirement to build connected distribution.

You can simply show people Writers Freak products, create customers and earn the direct commission on eligible sales.


A Parking Spot is a $7 advertising product and media asset in one inside WritersFreak.com.

It can advertise an author, book, podcast, newsletter, writing service, publisher, editor, ghostwriter, course, tool, launch or other business around words — or it can simply publish something worth reading about writing, books, storytelling, publishing, AI, media or the business around them.

SOMETIMES THE ADVERTISEMENT IS THE MEDIA.
SOMETIMES THE MEDIA IS THE ADVERTISEMENT.
AND SOMETIMES IT’S DOING BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

  • An author might build one around a book or book launch.
  • A writer might publish an essay, commentary or story.
  • An editor or ghostwriter might explain what they do and who they help.
  • A publisher might feature a title, author or publishing opportunity.
  • A podcaster or audiobook creator might build one around something people can listen to.
  • A writing coach, designer, narrator, marketer or other service provider might explain their business.
  • Or somebody might publish a story about publishing, AI, book marketing, journalism, scripts, newsletters or something else happening around words.

FREAK SITES SOLD THE PARKING SPOT EITHER WAY.

The book, writer, story, service, podcast, launch or idea is the content.


The direct commission is:

On a $7 Parking Spot:

$1.40

THEY BUY THROUGH YOUR LINK.
YOU GET 20%.

No mystery.


You didn’t just make $1.40.

YOU CREATED A CUSTOMER.

  • They come back later and buy another Parking Spot?
  • YOU CAN GET PAID AGAIN.
  • They build another page for another book, story, episode, service or project?
  • That’s another purchase.
  • They buy several over time?
  • Those are separate purchases.
  • They buy a Video Spotlight or StoryDrive?
  • Another eligible purchase can create another commission.

ONE COMMISSION IS A TRANSACTION.
A BOOK OF CUSTOMERS IS A BUSINESS.


  1. You showed Alex what you built.
  2. Alex bought a Parking Spot through your link.
  3. You got 20%.
  4. Alex is still only a customer at this point.
  5. Maybe Alex uses the Parking Spot for a book, writing service, podcast, newsletter or story.
  6. Later Alex decides to become an affiliate.
  7. Alex applies, gets approved and receives an affiliate link.
  8. Alex shows Jordan.
  9. Jordan buys a Parking Spot through Alex’s link.

ALEX GETS 20%.
YOU GET 15%.

  1. Later Jordan separately becomes an approved affiliate and shows Taylor.
  2. Taylor buys through Jordan’s link.

JORDAN GETS 20%.
ALEX GETS 15%.
YOU GET 10%.

Keep going and the current five-position structure is:


  • You don’t get paid because Alex became an affiliate.
  • You don’t get paid because Jordan applied.
  • You don’t get paid because somebody filled out a form.
  • You don’t get paid because somebody read a page.
  • You don’t get paid because somebody admired your semicolons or argued about the Oxford comma. 😂

SOMEBODY HAS TO BUY THE PRODUCT.

The public counter can tell you the Parking Spot was viewed.

The view doesn’t create the commission. The eligible product sale does.


Position Commission On $7
Direct 20% $1.40
Next 15% $1.05
Next 10% $0.70
Next 5% $0.35
Next 5% $0.35

If all five positions exist, up to:

$3.85 OF THE $7 SALE

can be shared across the complete affiliate path.

The customer still pays $7.


$99 VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

Direct 20% = $19.80

If all five eligible positions exist, up to $54.45 can be shared across the complete affiliate path.

$299 STORYDRIVE™ 1000

Direct 20% = $59.80

If all five eligible positions exist, up to $164.45 can be shared across the complete affiliate path.

SAME ENGINE.
DIFFERENT-SIZED PRODUCT PURCHASE.


Once you’re an approved affiliate, you have your affiliate tools.

You can create qualifying links to different places around WritersFreak.com and share them.

THE SOFTWARE HANDLES THE TRACKING.
YOU CREATE THE CUSTOMER.


  • You are not getting a percentage of somebody else’s book sale.
  • You’re not taking 20% of an author’s royalty.
  • You’re not getting a piece of somebody’s publishing contract.
  • You’re not taking part of an editor’s or ghostwriter’s fee.
  • You’re not getting a percentage of somebody’s podcast, newsletter, screenplay, course, freelance job or other outside writing transaction.

THOSE ARE THEIR TRANSACTIONS.

Your affiliate commission comes from eligible WritersFreak.com products.


Approved commissions are paid under the current Affiliate Terms and the payout rules shown in your affiliate account.

That’s the boring part. 😂


  • The Writers Freak Affiliate Program is free to apply for.
  • Somebody buys an eligible product through your link?
  • YOU GET 20%.
  • They buy again?
  • YOU CAN GET PAID AGAIN.
  • They later become an approved affiliate and eligible products sell through connected customers?
  • The 15%, 10%, 5% and 5% positions can come into play too.

20% → 15% → 10% → 5% → 5%

  • Nobody gets paid just for joining or applying.
  • Views don’t create affiliate commissions.
  • The product has to sell.

THE SOFTWARE TRACKS IT.
YOU CREATE THE CUSTOMER.
THE PRODUCT HAS TO SELL.
THAT’S HOW THE MONEY MOVES.

FOR THE LAWYERS — LEGAL DISCLAIMERS

Commission examples on this page are illustrations of the current affiliate structure, not promises, guarantees or forecasts of income. Actual results depend on completed eligible product sales, customer activity, individual effort, marketing, distribution, expenses, refunds, chargebacks, account status and other factors. Applying to the Affiliate Program is free and does not require a product purchase. Nobody gets paid merely because somebody joins or applies, clicks a link, follows an account or views a page. Writers Freak affiliate commissions apply to completed eligible WritersFreak.com product sales under the current Affiliate Terms, not book sales, royalties, publishing agreements, editing or ghostwriting fees, freelance writing income, podcast revenue, sponsorships, advertising revenue or other transactions outside the Writers Freak affiliate system. See the current Affiliate Terms and Legal & Earnings Disclosure for the full rules.
