New Community Website

[savantcreative]

We are creating a new national website for a client that will have many categories of interest. I am looking into the best way to monetize that site. It will all be done will ad and/or sponsor revenue. Any ideas?

Thanks so much

Is this a directory of some kind? If you are only looking to use advertising to bring in income, basically your options are to use Google Adsense, sell upgraded category listing or sell advertising space.

No. It is actually something along the lines of a mixture of Craigslist and Ebay. Any other ideas?
Thanks much-

Affiliate links, sell ebooks, charge for listings, put up a donation button, charge for web space (i.e. a person can have a full page "ad" on the site detailing their business)....
