How Much Money Can I Make?
Franchisees earn revenue by selling direct advertising to businesses wanting to reach their site visitors. Franchisees set their own rates, and negotiate their own deals for advertising. Franchisees may also negotiate trade deals such as tickets, goods, or services, in exchange for advertising. Franchisees keep 100% of the revenue they earn from selling ads.
Our business model is different from most other directory/calendar websites. We designed our sites to have high value advertising options at an affordable rate to be appealing to locally owned small businesses. Our sites are designed with over 1000 different advertising spaces with varying levels of visibility. The higher the visibility of the ad space, the higher the value. The range of what franchisees charge for advertising spaces ranges from $25 - $895/month per ad space. We also offer a high level of flexibility that many of our competitors are not able to do. Some businesses advertise with us year-round, some for just a few months (example: for summer camps) and others might only advertise for 1-4 weeks to promote an event. Franchisees may also choose to earn revenue from charging for social media posts, ads in an email newsletter, and organizing playgroups and events.

We cannot guarantee any level of income. There are many factors which contribute to a franchisee’s overall sales; including, but not limited to:
- The level of site traffic on the website
- The population and demographics of the market served by the site
- The amount of time and effort a franchisee spends trying to sell ads
- The quality and level of communication, service, and reputation of the franchisee
- The level of competition in the market
- Some franchisees may be able to charge higher rates than others depending on the conditions of their market
We do not charge royalty fees, and therefore there are no sales quotas. We do not pressure our franchisees to grow their sales. The franchisees in our network who follow our guidelines and spend full time hours on growing their business are earning more revenue than those who are not.
As part of the franchise process, we can share with you the exact sales and expenses for each franchisee in our network for the previous calendar year. You will also have the opportunity to speak with all the franchisees in our network to get their input. In addition, we recommend that you explore the market conditions in your geographic area to make your own projections.
