SPONSOR YOURSELF FOR SEVEN BUCKS.
Everybody is looking for sponsors, advertisers, reach, boosts, clicks, SEO and attention. Here’s a crazy idea: start by sponsoring yourself.
⭐ IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY WANTS A SPONSOR.
- Creators want sponsors.
- Athletes want sponsors.
- Race teams want sponsors.
- Podcasters want sponsors.
- YouTubers want sponsors.
- Events want sponsors.
- Nonprofits want sponsors.
- Businesses want customers.
And practically everybody wants somebody else to pay for the attention.
I get it.
I built an entire website around the subject. 😂
But here’s a thought…
WHAT IF YOU SPONSORED YOURSELF FIRST?
Seriously.
People will spend money boosting a Facebook post.
- They’ll boost an Instagram post.
- They’ll pay for TikTok promotion.
- They’ll buy clicks.
- They’ll buy SEO.
They’ll pay somebody to “increase their visibility.”
They’ll spend money trying to convince an algorithm that their content deserves another twelve minutes of life.
And sometimes that’s fine.
Advertising is advertising.
But you’re probably not buying very much advertising for seven bucks.
So I decided to make seven bucks buy something a little different here.
🅿️ SEVEN BUCKS GETS YOU YOUR OWN PARKING SPOT.
Not a boosted post.
Not seven dollars worth of clicks.
Not a promise that 14,000 strangers are going to suddenly discover your greatness before lunch.
A page.
Your page.
On Sponsors Freak.
Like this one.
You can put your story there.
- Add your photographs.
- Embed the videos you already made.
- Link back to your YouTube channel, website, business, fundraiser, event, social account or wherever your real world lives.
- Explain what you’re doing.
- Explain what you’re looking for.
- Make an offer.
- Ask for a sponsor.
- Promote your business.
- Promote your channel.
- Promote yourself.
Congratulations.
You have now officially sponsored yourself. 😂
⭐ AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR OTHER WORLD.
This isn’t an argument against YouTube.
Use YouTube.
This isn’t an argument against TikTok.
Use TikTok.
Instagram?
Use it.
Facebook?
Sure.
Your own website?
Absolutely.
I’m not asking you to replace any of that.
I’m giving you another place to put some of what you’ve already created.
If you’ve already shot the video, taken the pictures and written the story, most of the hard work is already done.
Park some of it here.
Now that particular subject can have its own URL on Sponsors Freak and become part of the searchable Island.
It just has to genuinely belong somewhere in the world of sponsorship, advertising, marketing, creators, brands, events, causes, sports, businesses looking to sponsor something or people looking to get sponsored.
And it should give somebody visiting the Island something useful, interesting or worth discovering.
That’s really the bar.
You can figure out pretty quickly how this place works just by spending some time looking around.
🔎 THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS.
Social feeds are great at showing you what somebody posted five minutes ago.
They’re not always so great when you remember something six months later and think:
“Where did I post that thing?”
That’s one of the reasons I built Parking Spots.
- I wanted content I could organize around subjects.
- I wanted pages I could link back to.
- I wanted something searchable.
- I wanted somewhere I controlled to build my own weird collection of stuff.
So that’s what I’m doing.
🏝️ I BUILT SPONSORS FREAK FOR MYSELF.
This is the part I probably should make very clear.
I’m not sitting here waiting for you to buy a Parking Spot so I’ll finally have something to do.
😂
I’m going to use Sponsors Freak.
I’m going to write about sponsorships.
- Advertising.
- Creators.
- Brands.
- Marketing.
- People doing smart things.
- People doing ridiculous things.
And anything else around this world that catches my attention.
I built the Island because I wanted the Island.
But digital beachfront is funny.
I can keep making more of it.
So if you’ve got something that genuinely belongs here and you want your own Parking Spot…
IT’S SEVEN BUCKS.
One time.
- No subscription.
- No scheduled renewal.
- No automatic expiration.
- Up to 25 photos.
- Up to two supported embedded videos.
- Up to 20,000 characters.
Your links.
Your call to action.
Your own dedicated URL.
A public view counter.
And you can even edit your Parking Spot as things change.
⭐ SO DO YOU NEED A SPONSOR?
Maybe.
That’s one of the reasons this Island exists.
But while you’re waiting for Nike, Coca-Cola, Red Bull, Ford, your local tire shop or Uncle Bob’s Bait & Tackle to discover you…
You could always spend seven bucks and sponsor yourself.
Just saying. 😂
🅿️ WANT TO PULL UP A CHAIR?
I’m starting to build Parking Spots around the Sponsors Freak Island.
If you want to look around, look around.
If you want to read my stuff, cool.
If you want to park something of your own here too, that’s what the $7 Parking Spot is for.

This Island isn’t going to run out of beachfront property anytime soon. 😂
