Sorry, you misunderstood. My bad writing.

I am not writing the jokes. I am asking people to spend $1 to share their joke with 1,000 people and then tell these readers about their product/service.

Does that make better sense?

Understand the idea now. It isn't so much different then the model that article sites use. Content providers post an article (provide content) and get the opportunity to link/ad back to their businesses. Then the article sites make money by having ad network ads all over the place. Maybe consider ditching the $1 and introducing your own ads. That way you will get a lot more content and you won't have to worry so much about building a relationship with your advertisers.
