Community Influencer Program

No. Frenting is free to join.

For paid bookings, Frenting charges a 5% service fee to the owner and a 3% service fee to the renter. So if you rent your kayak for $5, you'll make $4.75 and we'll make 40 cents. If you share something for free, there is no fee.

Absolutely not.

We're looking for connectors, not salespeople. Community Influencers help introduce Frenting to people they already know and trust. Most of the role involves having conversations, answering questions, and helping people get started.

No sales experience needed. No cold calling. No scripts. No strangers. No sales quotas.

We're here to support you every step of the way! When you get accepted, we'll provide a Community Influencer Playbook, marketing materials, and as much coaching as you would like to get started. If you or your people have questions, we've got answers!

We'll even co-host the launch gathering with you and supply the basics (a table, marketing materials, snacks, drinks, and even giveaways and prizes). One of our Frenting specialists will attend to help answer questions and get people excited about joining your group.

Not necessarily. Frenting works best when you sign up a new user and there are things for them to rent or borrow available in your group. If you don't have any items or space to rent or share, that doesn't mean you can't start a circle. You may just have slower growth.

Depending on where your circle is located, there may or may not be Frenting-owned items that you can list to get you started. Or you may want to consider our Community Sharing Program instead of the Influencer Program.

That depends on how active you want to be.

Some Community Influencers may spend as little as an hour a week introducing Frenting to friends and neighbors. Others may organize multiple launch gatherings, spend time networking in local groups, or help growth by helping people take photos and doing one-on-one onboarding.

You can participate at whatever level fits your schedule. The more active you are, the more cash you can make!

Almost any group of people who already know each other can be a great fit, including:

• Apartment buildings
• Neighborhoods
• Churches
• Parent groups
• Friend groups
• Community organizations
• Clubs and hobby groups
• Coworkers

If people already share some level of trust or connection, Frenting can work.

After you are accepted to the program, you'll fill out a standard W-9 form. Commissions are tallied up at the end of the month and typically paid by the 5th of the next month. Booking commissions are paid after bookings are completed.

Community Influencers earn referral commissions when the people they introduce become active on Frenting. You can earn commissions for:

• New user signups
• Listings created
• Completed bookings
• Community growth milestones
• Referring other Community Influencers

In order to share and rent physical items, your community needs to be located in the same area.

That's why a new user has to be someone located within 25 miles of your location. They need to verify their email address and become your friend and/or join your circle.

Existing Frenting members do not count toward your commissions. People outside of your geographic area do not count. But if you know folks in other communities who may be a good fit for our Community Influencer program, you'll earn $25 for everyone you refer who gets accepted to the program.

Frenting only works when people who know each other are all using the app together. Instead of spending all of our budget on advertising, we'd rather reward local people who help introduce Frenting to friends, neighbors, coworkers, and community members.

This is NOT a pyramid scheme or MLM.

Community Influencers are not required to buy anything, pay membership fees, recruit other influencers, or build a "downline." You earn rewards for helping real people join Frenting, create listings, and complete actual bookings. Think of it more like a referral or ambassador program than a sales organization. Our goal is simple: help communities discover Frenting and start sharing useful things with each other.

Once people start using Frenting, communities often begin growing naturally. Members add their own listings, invite friends, create new circles, and continue sharing with each other long after the initial launch. The more listings your community creates, the more value everyone will get from being a part of the community. And the more value they see, the stronger the growth.

You'll earn commissions through the pilot period, which runs until Sept. 1, 2026. After that date, we hope you and your community will continue to enjoy the benefits of Frenting!

No. If you are accepted into the Community Influencer Program, you will work as a 1099 contractor – not as an employee. Upon acceptance, you fill out a standard W-9 form. If you earn more than $600 in one year, you will be issued a 1099 in January.

You make your schedule and decide your time commitment and activity level. The more active you are, the more you earn. But this is a casual, low-pressure, no-quotas opportunity. The only real requirement is to host a local launch gathering with our support.

The pilot lasts until Sept. 1, 2026. There is no ongoing requirement to use the app or do any additional community organizing after that date.

Definitely not. Frenting is focused on community-by-community growth, rather than random online signups … because Frenting only works when a group of people who live physically close to each other are all using the app together.

You are welcome to use your social media channels to spread the word about Frenting – especially in local Facebook groups and Nextdoor groups. But there are no requirements to post, comment, like, or share anything on social media.
