Almost every company charges an upfront fee or some sort, including Redweek. Either a membership fee, listing fee, ad fee, and so on.

You are correct, but the last time I looked Redweek fees were very minimal as opposed to the hundreds or thousands of dollars "upfront" fee companies charge.

Instead of charging big bucks for that "lifetime listing", why don't you charge a small fee, then if people try and don't like your service, they just don't renew. For the most part all the upfront fee companies do is list the timeshare on a website and hope someone sees it.

Years ago I was solicited by an upfront fee company and their sales pitch was that they advertise USA Today, NY Times, etc. They made it sound like they advertised MY timeshare in those papers. No...all they had was a tiny ad for their company. That doesn't really "market" my unit now does it.
