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

  2. Earn or Level Up — Use quick-win tracks (below) to generate first revenue, or level up tooling to accelerate.
  3. Contribute to Portfolio Projects — Join a live build (content, schema, listings, outreach, tech). Contributions are logged for payouts.
  4. Graduate to Journeymouse / Craftsmouse — Launch multiple assets; mentor newcomers; take lead roles on builds.
  5. Become a Knight of the Guild — Lead projects, secure revenue shares, help govern the portfolio.

Two Ways to Play

⚡ Quick-Buck Tracks

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.

FAQ

How does shared revenue work?

When a project uses guild frameworks and meets contribution criteria, it’s eligible for revenue share. Each contributor’s share is weighted by shipped work, impact, and stewardship. Payouts occur monthly once thresholds are met.

Do I have to use paid tools?

No. We teach with free/open tools first. Paid tools are optional accelerators for advanced tracks.

Can I pause and return later?

Yes. Your skills, templates, and contributions remain. You can hop back in anytime.
