Boiling this down you are essentially talking about the same business idea that 99% of the internet runs on. Provide content and make money via advertisements.

Only difference is that you have to go through the legwork of finding your advertisers where as a typical joke site would just show affiliate ads and/or ad words.

I think the time you are spending finding advertisers to sponsor your jokes would negate any extra revenue you would get vs. just letting a ad network find the advertisers for you.

If your content is actually good and you execute this well and you manage to get traffic then you probably want to focus on your joke writing and not finding advertisers.

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.
