The Marketing Guild for Quiet People
How It Works
A learn-and-earn system you can jump in and out of — build quietly, get paid reliably.
Core Principles
- Quiet > Loud: We build assets, not audiences.
- Portable Skills: Free tools first; pro tools when you’re ready.
- Modular Tracks: Make a quick buck or go deep on portfolio builds.
- Proof-based Progress: Tiers unlock with shipped work and contributions.
Guild Flow at a Glance
- Start as an Apprentice Mouse — Access free lessons, templates, and checklists. Build your first micro-asset (e.g., a niche landing page or directory stub).
- Earn or Level Up — Use quick-win tracks (below) to generate first revenue, or level up tooling to accelerate.
- Contribute to Portfolio Projects — Join a live build (content, schema, listings, outreach, tech). Contributions are logged for payouts.
- Graduate to Journeymouse / Craftsmouse — Launch multiple assets; mentor newcomers; take lead roles on builds.
- Become a Knight of the Guild — Lead projects, secure revenue shares, help govern the portfolio.
Two Ways to Play
⚡ Quick-Buck Tracks
- Spin up a niche landing page with free builder + schema starter.
- Local “best of” listicles (AI-native, human-edited).
- Affiliate micro-reviews with comparison blocks.
- Lead form handoff (directory → verified vendor).
Goal: first $100–$1,000 to prove the loop and your process.
🏗️ Builder Tracks
- Join a portfolio site (content, schema, ops, outreach).
- Create structured data packs (Org, Service, Product, FAQ).
- Build AI-native endpoints (llm.json, llm.txt, federation).
- Operate a sub-category or geo cluster with profit share.
Goal: recurring revenue + tier advancement + leadership path.
Contributions → Payouts
All contributions are logged against a project and tied to clear criteria:
- Shipping: Did it go live? (pages, schema, endpoints, listings)
- Quality: Meets checklists (readability, compliance, tech passes)
- Impact: Leads, sales, or measurable authority signals
- Stewardship: Maintenance, updates, and documented playbooks
Eligible revenue includes site sales, leasing fees, affiliate commissions, service retainers, and subscription revenue attributable to the project.
Example Project Modules
- Niche Directory Cell: 10-listing “starter” with AI-friendly schema + llm.json.
- Affiliate Hub: 3 comparison pages + 6 review pages + FAQ schema + exit intent.
- Local Lead Pack: Geo-specific service page + RSForm lead capture + vendor routing.
- Authority Primer: 5-article cluster + author E-E-A-T blocks + Organization schema.

➤ The Origin Story
This started as an option for my kids, nieces, nephews, friends, and family—some tech-savvy, some not. Many work for themselves, others for companies. All want an alternate way to earn on their own terms. After decades of experiments, wins, and faceplants, I distilled what works into an open, repeatable framework.
➤ Core Belief
This is Freelance Marketing. Not a pyramid. Build a full-time living or keep the system in your back pocket to make a quick buck when you need it. Freedom comes from knowing how to create your own leverage—quietly, skillfully, and sustainably.
“Learn Comfortably. Earn As You Grow. Work At Your Pace.”

How does shared revenue work?
