Beyond the Sharing Economy, the Newer Model for Artists

For dancers and artists of any type, it can be challenging to support our creative expression. Many artists are open to new ways of making a living, as long as they have time to also work their craft.......dancing, writing, singing, painting and on and on.....
Many have tried sharing services like Airbnb where you open your precious home to strangers. Some who are lucky enough to have a new shiny car work for Uber.
There's another model out there that is virtually risk free, much less expensive as a start up and you get to own the business.
Now imagine a world where for example you got paid every time you watched a movie on Netflix. You were going to watch the movie anyway but now you are getting paid. Next imagine getting paid to recommend movies to your friends and imagine that you have your very own Netflix site with all the features that the big guys have. Where does the money come from? Imagine that Netflix never has to advertise again.....they have you and thousands of other business owners bringing in the customers to get paid to watch movies.
Ok.....now just substitute shop.com for Netflix and there you have it. Instead of movies you have every single thing that anyone already buys for their family, their house and their business. They get paid to shop at your very own shop.com site....mine is www.shop.com/sotmary. I own it. I get paid when you shop at my site. Is this starting to make sense. It is free to become a customer. Start looking around at this new model and then contact me and we can see if owning your own business is something you want to look into to. It's all about keeping your creativity flowing. sotmary@gmail.com or 917-273-1308
