How do you earn your income from your CP Site??

Hi All,

I have some questions that are not so much related to help for operating CP, rather, they are more related to how you earn and income from CP if at all, and what was your motivation to set up your CP site?

I use social media for my classifieds which has a large audience. Social media can be difficult to locate things on, so I decided to create a classifieds site using CP. I've put a lot of time and effort into my site which is not live yet, mainly because I'm trying to work out how to earn my income from it. ie. whether to go with the free listings which in all honesty would be the easiest thing, but....for all my time and effort I need to earn an income... So I'm looking for suggestions as to how you have achieved an income by using banner ads, or charging. What ever you do to get that income, I would be most grateful for any tips and advice as to how I can do that too. I have lots of ideas that I've tried and tested, but am looking for something extra that will work well for me.

If you can help, could you also please tell me,

How do you accept payments on your site?

i.e. Cash Deposit to your account, if so, how do you accept the payments? ie do you list your account number, or, do you have a plugin that enables users to direct deposit to your account?

Do you accept Pay Pal?
If so, do you find you are charged alot of fees, and is it a managable option for you?

Do you accept some other form of payment? If so is it difficult to set up?
