Q: Setting up a classified website
Hello. You mention creating a classified site like Craigslist or OfferUp. Can a classifeid site also display vendors that provide related services? For a hypothetical, maybe a site that allows people to list their car for sale and a section for mechanic to offer their services.
How does that work with the AppSumo offer (which tier, how to monetize, etc)?
1. Is it possible to have both a Classified section and a Vendor (related services) section as described above?
2. Is each person listing an item considered a "member"?
3. Sounds like the 'Instant Business' tool can add existing businesses (in that hypothetical, "mechanics"), can future vendors (i.e., mechanics) be monetized? Is it easy?
4. Are there tutorials showing how to monetize the classified listings?
5. Are there sample sites to preview?

📑 Classified & Vendor Sections: Yes, you can have both a Classifieds Section and a Vendor Section on your site! Members can list items for sale while others offer related services, like mechanics in your car listing example.
👤 Each User = Member: Every person who lists an item is considered a member. This helps build your community while keeping everything organized.
💸 Monetizing Vendors with Instant Business Data: The Instant Business Data tool allows you to pre-populate your site with existing businesses (e.g., mechanics). You can monetize this by letting businesses upgrade their listings, add features, or purchase premium placements.
📚 Tutorials for Monetization: Absolutely! There are resources to help you learn how to monetize your classified listings effectively. Check out this guide on upsell and upgrade ideas:
