Dear Sir/Madam,

Registration Statement on Form 10
General
1. Please provide information and an analysis under Section 3 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Company Act”) with respect to whether the Company is an investment company. In particular, please identify and explain (including a detailed calculation on an unconsolidated basis) what assets held by the Company are ‘investment securities’ for the purposes of Section 3 of the Company Act, as well as identifying the percentage of the value of the Company’s total assets that are ‘investment securities.’ Please note that we may refer your response to the Division of Investment Management for further review.
Response: Sharing Services, Inc. (hereafter the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is not currently engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. The Company, directly and through its subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in the business of selling health and wellness, energy, technology, insurance, training, media and travel products and services. For example, during its fiscal period from May 5, 2017 to April 30, 2018, the Company derived over 94% of its consolidated revenues from the sale of health and wellness products, consisting of its “Elevate” product line. The Company’s Elevate products were developed by Elevacity Global LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Further, the Company does not hold itself out to be engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, although the Company intends to continue to grow its business both organically and by making strategic acquisitions, from time to time, of businesses and technologies that augment its products portfolio, complement its business competencies, and fit its overall growth strategy.
As of the date hereof, except for the Company’s investments in the equity securities of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company does not hold ‘investment securities’ for the purposes of Section 3 of the Company Act. The Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities consists of member’s interests in five (5) limited liability companies, as further discussed in Item 2 below.

2. Please provide further information regarding the interests you hold in your recent acquisitions, including the current ownership percentage, any potential or planned increases in ownership, and your analysis as to whether interests in any of those acquisitions subject you to the Company Act.
Response: As of the date hereof, Total Travel Media, Inc. and Four Oceans Holdings, Inc. are consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
In addition, the Company owns a 24% member’s interest in 212 Technologies, LLC; a 40% member’s interest in 561 LLC; a 40% member’s interest in America Approved Commercial LLC; a 40% member’s interest in Medical Smart Care LLC; and a 40% member’s interest in LEH Insurance Group LLC. The Company may potentially increase or decrease its ownership interest in any and all these entities, but any increase is contingent on the achievement by each underlying entity of certain pre-determined financial performance milestones (mainly associated with sales and profitability goals).
As discussed in Item 1 above, the Company is not currently an investment company under the Company Act. In addition, the Company does not expect to become subject to the Company Act, including as a result of any potential increase in its ownership interest, in the future, in any or all the entities mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph.
3. We note that in your disclosure you stated that you “intend to continue to make strategic acquisitions of and purchases of equity interests in businesses that complement [your] business competencies and growth strategy.” Please provide us with a detailed analysis as to whether these acquisitions will subject you to the Company Act.
Response: The disclosure referenced will be expanded to clarify that the Company intends to continue to grow its business both organically and by making strategic acquisitions, from time to time, of businesses and technologies that augment its products portfolio, complement its business competencies, and fit its overall growth strategy.
As discussed in Item 1 above, the Company is not currently an investment company under the Company Act. In addition, the Company does not intend to become subject to the Company Act, including as a result of potential acquisitions in the future.

Regulation of Personal Care and Nutritional Food Products, page 8
7. We note your disclosure that your products are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Please clarify how your products are regulated by the FDA including whether any approvals by the FDA are required before marketing or selling your products. If such approvals are required, please clarify their status.
Response: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates both finished dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients. Specifically, dietary supplements are regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the DSHEA). Under the DSHEA, manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. Accordingly, under the DSHEA, manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements are responsible for the safety and labeling of their products prior to such products reaching the market. Once a product reaches the market, the FDA is responsible for taking enforcement action against any product found to be an adulterated or misbranded dietary supplement. However, dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, such as those sold by the Company, do not require FDA approval before marketing and selling.
Strategic Partnerships, page 8
8. Please identify your principal suppliers as required by Item 101(h)(4)(v) of Regulation S- K.
Response: The referenced disclosure will be expanded to indicate that Alternative Laboratories, LLC, The Vitamin Patch, LLC and The Ellier Group are our three principal suppliers and that purchases of product from these suppliers, in the aggregate, account for 99% of total purchases for the fiscal period from May 5, 2017 to April 30, 2018.

Summary Compensation Table, page 20
11. Please reconcile the amounts disclosed in the table with the amounts in the narrative following the table. For example, it is unclear how John Thatch received a salary of $80,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 if he was being paid $20,000 a month and his compensation started in March 2018. Similarly, it is unclear how the total for Frank Walters salary was determined. Also, reconcile the Director Compensation table with the footnote. We also note that the warrants and/or options issued to Messrs. Thatch and Walters are not included in the summary compensation table. Lastly, please discuss the nature of the all other compensation included in the table.
Response: Mr. Thatch was appointed effective March 1, 2018 and Mr. Walters was appointed effective March 4, 2018. The amounts reported under the caption “Salary” in the summary compensation table will be revised to reflect only compensation earned by each officer through April 30, 2018, under their respective employment agreements. In addition, the value on the grant date of warrants and/or options awarded to the named officers will be included in the summary compensation table under the caption “Warrant and Option Awards.” Further, the notes to the summary compensation table will be expanded to specify the nature of all other compensation.
Prior to August 1, 2018, Mr. Oblon earned compensation for his services as Chairman of the board of director at the rate of $10,000 per month effective April 1, 2018, payable semi-monthly, under the terms of his contractor agreement. The director compensation table will be revised to reflect compensation earned during the month of April. In addition, the notes to the director compensation table will be expanded to specify the nature of all other compensation.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 22
12. Please reconcile the $18,750,000 dividend to related parties for the acquisition of Four Oceans with the 20,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Bear Bull as discussed in Note 11 to the quarterly financial statements on page 37.
Response: On May 23, 2017, the Registrant acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Total Travel Media, Inc. in exchange for (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s Class B common stock and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s Series B preferred stock, issued to the stockholder of Total Travel Media, Inc. As a result of these transactions, the stockholder of Total Travel Media, Inc., Alchemist Holdings, LLC and Bear Bull Market Dividends, Inc., acquired control of the Registrant, as the term “control” is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

A Publicly Traded Diversified Holding Company “SHRV”
In September 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Four Oceans Holdings, Inc. (“Four Oceans”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Four Oceans in exchange for, in the aggregate, 75,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at $18,750,000 based on the market price ($0.25 per share) of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock. Each share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the Registrant’s acquisition, Four Oceans was under the control of Alchemist Holdings, LLC, a company controlled by the Chairman of our board of directors. Alchemist Holdings received 50,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock; Bear Bull Market Dividends, Inc., a material stockholder of the Registrant, received 20,000,000 shares; and Research and Referral BZ received 5,000,000 shares.
Since the acquisition of Four Oceans is a transaction between entities under common control, the Company treated the acquisition similar to the pooling-of-interests method and has reported the financial results of Four Oceans on a consolidated basis since the initial date in which the above companies were under common control. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), assets and liabilities of the acquirer and the acquired entities were combined at their carrying values and no recognition of goodwill was made. In addition, in accordance with GAAP, the Company recognized $18,750,000 as a deemed dividend to the related party, for the consideration paid in excess of the net assets acquired.

13. Please revise the references to the Nasdaq Stock Market here and elsewhere in your filing to reflect that your shares are quoted on the OTCQB or advise. Also, clarify the references to inception throughout your filing as this does not appear to be the date the company was established.
Response: Each reference to the Nasdaq Stock Market in the filing will be replaced with a reference to the OTCQB market, where appropriate. Please note that quoting of the Company’s shares in the OTCQB market commenced on September 5, 2018.
The Registrant was incorporated in April 24, 2015. On May 23, 2017, the Registrant acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Total Travel Media, Inc., a corporation organized on May 5, 2017, in exchange for shares of stock issued to the stockholders of Total Travel Media, Inc., as discussed above. As a result of these transactions, Alchemist Holdings, LLC and Bear Bull Market Dividends, Inc. acquired control of the Registrant, as the term “control” is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition of Total Travel Media, Inc. was treated as a reverse acquisition, in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, although the Registrant was incorporated in April 2015, our financial statements refer to May 5, 2017 as the inception date.

17. We note from your disclosure that you earn revenue from the sale of products and from subscription based services. In addition, it appears from your disclosure on page 5 that you have a 30-day money back guarantee and a potential restocking fee. Please provide the disclosures required under ASC 606-10-50.
Response: The Company derives revenue from the sale of health and wellness, energy, technology, insurance, training, media and travel products and services. The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of the promised goods and services to the customer. With respect to products and services sold, the transfer of control generally occurs when the customer receives and accepts the product and services. With respect to subscription-based services, including Elepreneur membership fees, the transfer of control generally occurs over time (generally one year or less).

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time when we invoice and/or collect payment under the contract. Deferred sales revenue associated with our performance obligation for customers’ right of return were $72,400 at July 31, 2018, net of potential restocking fees of $0, and were reported in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue associated with our performance obligation for services offered on a subscription basis were $664,700 at July 31, 2018 and are expected to be recognized over one year and were reported in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
The Company will include this information in its Summary of Significant Accounting Policies at July 31, 2018 in Item 13 of the filing.
18. We note from your disclosure in Note 15 of your Form 10-K filed on July 30, 2018 that you have two reportable segments, health and wellness products and other. Please provide the disclosures required under ASC 280-10-50-32.
Response: The information required under ASC 280-10-50-32 is contained in Exhibit C to this letter.
Note 6 - Investments in Unconsolidated Entities, page 33
19. We note that you have investments in several entities that range in ownership percentages from 24% to 40%. Please provide the disclosures required under ASC 323-10-50.
Response: The Company owns a 24% member’s interest in 212 Technologies, LLC; a 40% member’s interest in 561 LLC; a 40% member’s interest in America Approved Commercial LLC; a 40% member’s interest in Medical Smart Care LLC; and a 40% member’s interest in LEH Insurance Group LLC. The Company made these investments consistent with its strategy to grow its business organically and by making strategic acquisitions of businesses and technologies that augment its products portfolio. Specifically, each of these investees own and market products that fit the Company’s direct selling model and add to its products portfolio. However, the Company does not, directly or indirectly, hold a controlling financial interest in any of these investees (as the phrase “controlling financial interest” is defined in GAAP). Thus, the Company does not report these investees on a consolidated basis. In addition, the Company does not exert influence over the operations or policies of the investees. For example, the members of management of each investee are independent of the Company’s officers and directors. Further, the Company’s officers, directors, and management are not involved in the operations or policies of the investees.
Accordingly, the Company accounts for its investment in these investees on the cost basis. The referenced disclosure will be expanded to indicate that the Company accounts for its investment in the investees on the cost basis.

In addition, on July 2, 2018, the Company entered into a financing transaction whereby the Company borrowed $128,000 (prior to $3,000 in financing costs) from Power UP Lending Group Ltd. in exchange for the issuance by the Company of a promissory note in favor of the lender.

Elepreneur
Super Affiliate Marketing Plan
The Elepreneur Super Affiliate Marketing Plan (S.A.M.) is a unique opportunity for Affiliates to be rewarded for their personal sales, successful customer acquisition and retention. The S.A.M. Plan also rewards eligible Super Affiliates when they are successful in developing other Super Affiliates who may desire to build a business based upon success in selling and servicing customers. Additional Bonuses and opportunities to participate in Global Bonus Pools are available to those who meet specific performance requirements.
Definitions
Retail Customer: Any customer who purchases products directly from an Affiliate either in person or through the Affiliate’s replicated website.
SmartShip Customer: Any customer who purchases products monthly with a recurring order. All SmartShip enrollments entitle the customer to a 10% discount from suggested retail prices.
Elepreneur Affiliate: Any person who enrolls as an Affiliate and pays an annual fee (currently $99.00). First time enrollees receive: Three D.O.S.E Product Experience Packages (6 servings of Elevate Coffee and XanthoMax - Retail Value $30.00 each), a complete Business Internet Suite - Digital Marketing Materials, Access to Business Reports, Policies and Procedures, access to S.A.M. Academy and Basic Training Concepts including full access for one year to a customized Ele-App, which supports efforts to acquire new customers. An Affiliate may purchase products or enroll in a monthly recurring SmartShip purchase at a wholesale discount of 20% off the suggested retail price. Affiliates are eligible to earn a 20% profit on all personal retail sales. The annual renewal fee to remain active as an Affiliate is $99.00.
“Super” Affiliate: A Super Affiliate is entitled to earn additional bonuses (Wholesale, Royalty, Bonus Pool). To qualify as a Super Affiliate, the Affiliate needs to achieve 2,000 RV (Personal Retail Sales plus the aggregated retail sales of all personally recruited Affiliates who achieve less than 2,000 in personal and aggregated retail sales within a calendar month).
| 1 |
Generation: A generation is defined as all Retail Customers and Affiliates sponsored directly and indirectly who have not qualified for Super Affiliate status. A second generation would include all Retail Customers and Affiliates who are not Super Affiliates enrolled by a personally Sponsored Super Affiliate. All Retail Customers and Affiliates between one Super Affiliate to another Super Affiliate are a generation.
Retail Volume or RV: The suggested retail price on all products. The RV is used to calculate the Retail Profit, the Wholesale Bonus, as well as the qualifications one must achieve to qualify for advancement and other bonuses.
Commissionable Volume or CV. Each product has a Commissionable Volume attached to it. The CV of a product is used to calculate the Royalty Bonus Payouts.
Retail Profit:
● Earned by any Affiliate or Super Affiliate Member who has a personal Retail Customer that purchases from the Affiliate’s inventory at suggested retail prices.
● Retail Profits are also earned when Retail Customers purchase through an Affiliate’s personal replicated website. Such purchases are referred to as eCommerce sales and 20% is earned on these sales.
● The Retail Profit is paid weekly on customer eCommerce and SmartShip purchases.
| ○ | Retail Profit Example: Retail Customer 1 purchases at full retail price of $100.00 and 100CV. The Affiliate who sponsored Customer 1 would earn a 20% Retail Profit of $20.00. | |
| ○ | Customer with SmartShip. An Affiliate will earn a 10% retail profit on all personally sponsored Customers who have a monthly SmartShip order. For example, Retail Customer 1 purchases a product which normally sells for $100 retail, but as a SmartShip customer, the Retail Customer receives a 10% discount or pays $90. The 10% commission paid to the Affiliate is paid upon the full retail price of $100 or $10. |
| 2 |
Wholesale Profit/Bonus:
● Earned by Super Affiliates.
● Wholesale Bonuses of 10% are earned monthly based on the Retail Volume of orders placed by all personally enrolled Retail Customers, all Affiliates and their Retail Customers enrolled directly and indirectly who have not qualified as Super Affiliates.
○ Example: A Super Affiliate will earn Wholesale Bonuses on the purchases/sales made by all Retail Customers and Affiliates he or she personally sponsors and the purchases/sales of all Affiliates and Retail Customers who are sponsored beneath his or her personally sponsored Affiliates up to the first Super Affiliate in the lineage.
Royalty Bonus:
| ● | Earned by any Super Affiliate who has a downline Super Affiliate with a minimum of 2,000RV during a given pay period. | |
| ● | Payout is monthly based on Commissionable Volume (CV). A Royalty Bonus of 4% is paid on the CV of all Super Affiliates and their downline through 3 generations of Super Affiliates. | |
| ● | Qualification for this bonus is based on RV but payout is based on CV which, in most cases, is equivalent to the RV. |
Matching Performance Bonuses
Super Affiliates may earn Matching Performance Bonuses when they are qualified as Super Affiliates (min 2,000 RV within a calendar month) and achieve the performance requirements noted below. Matching Performance Bonuses are paid monthly.
1st Generation
When the performance of a Super Affiliate is 20,000 RV achieved for three consecutive months in the first three Generations of Super Affiliates and minimum of 20,000 RV is achieved each month thereafter, the Performance Bonus will ensure the sponsoring Super Affiliate will earn, in total Royalty Bonuses, the equivalent of 100% of what is earned by 1st Generation Super Affiliates on their 3 Generations of Royalty Bonus Earnings less the Royalty Bonuses already paid.
| 3 |
2nd Generation
When the performance of a Super Affiliate is 80,000 RV achieved for three consecutive months in the first three Generations of Super Affiliates and minimum of 80,000 RV is achieved each month thereafter, the Performance Bonus will ensure the sponsoring Super Affiliate will earn, in total Royalty Bonuses, the equivalent of 20% of what is earned by 2nd Generation Super Affiliates on their 3 Generations of Royalty Bonus Earnings less the Royalty Bonuses already paid.
3rd Generation:
When the performance of a Super Affiliate is 200,000 RV achieved for three consecutive months in the first three Generations of Super Affiliates and minimum of 200,000 RV is achieved each month thereafter, the Performance Bonus will ensure the sponsoring Super Affiliate will earn, in total Royalty Bonuses, the equivalent of 10% of what is earned by 3rd Generation Super Affiliates on their 3 Generations of Royalty Bonus Earnings less the Royalty Bonuses already paid.
Global Bonus Pools:
The Global Bonus Pool is reserved for qualifying Super Affiliates. There are three different Global Bonus Pools with three different qualification requirements. Qualifying Super Affiliates will participate in one Global Bonus Pool at a time. Global Bonus Pools are calculated monthly and paid quarterly.
The total Global Pool Bonus is equal to 2% of the total RV of the entire company. Super Affiliates who are eligible to participate in the Global Bonus Pool participate in accordance to the guidelines below.
Global Bonus Pool One – 20% of Total Global Bonus Pool
Qualification is 20,000 RV achieved for three consecutive months in your first three Generations of Super Affiliates and minimum of 20,000 RV each month thereafter to participate in the Global Bonus Pool.
Global Bonus Pool Two – 30% of Total Global Bonus Pool
Qualification is 80,000 - 199,999.99 RV in your first three Generations of Super Affiliates and minimum of 80,000 RV each month thereafter to participate in Global Bonus Pool Two.
| 4 |
Global Bonus Pool Three – 50% of Total Global Bonus Pool
Qualification is 200,000 RV in your three Generations of Super Affiliates and minimum of 200,000 RV each month thereafter to participate in Global Bonus Pool Three.
Examples: If the total RV of the Company for a calendar quarter is $10,000,000.00, the total payout for the Global Bonus Pool is $10,000,000.00 * 2% = $200,000.00.
Pool 1 Example: 20% of the Total Global Pool. $200,000.00 * 20% = $40,000.00. If a Super Affiliate’s volume is 25,000 RV for a calendar month and the volume of all participants in Pool 1 is $600,000.00 RV, the Super Affiliate would earn a 4% share of the $40,000.00 Global Bonus Pool for that month which equals $1,600.00.
Pool 2 Example: 30% of the Total Global Pool. $200,000 * 30% = $60,000. If a Super Affiliate’s volume is 100,000 RV for a calendar month and the volume of all participants in Pool 2 is $3,500,000.00 RV, the Super Affiliate would earn a 3% share of the Global Bonus Pool for that month which equals $1,800.00.
Pool 3 Example: 50% of the Total Global Pool. $200,000 * 50% = $100,000. If a Super Affiliate’s volume is $250,000.00 RV and the volume of all participants in Pool 3 is $8,000,000.00 RV, the Super Affiliate would earn a 3% share of the Global Bonus Pool which equals $3,000.00.
Disclaimer: Rewards earned through the Super Affiliate Marketing Plan are based on results achieved when selling and servicing customers and building a downline of other Affiliates who also build businesses based upon successful customer acquisition and retention. Examples provided are for explanation purposes only.
