Question hour building by cost sharing?????

Hello everyone.
As there has been lots of help in the past towards me whenever I have asked a question on here I thought I would ask another one .

I have an idea of hour building by cost sharing with people.
I am under the impression that as a PPL holder the only time I can take money of people towards the cost of the flight is "an equal share of the cost with the pilot paying a proportionally equal share"

What I would like to do is ;
Advertise cheap helicopter flights , using this cost sharing option.

Will I be breaking any laws if I take up complete strangers and charge them a proportion of the cost of the helicopter hire?

If not, why aren't all low hours pilots (PPLs) doing this because it seems that you could halve the cost of hour building ( in a R22) or even in a R44 you could in theory end up only paying for 1/4 of your hours.

If this is Legal, is there anything I am missing?

Comments welcome.
Thanks Chester
