Ways to make money with your classifieds site

This theme is built so you can earn from the marketplace you run — not only from selling the site itself. Set your own plan prices and limits, then grow traffic with free ads and sell visibility to sellers who want more reach.

1

Paid membership plans

Charge sellers on a monthly basis to post ads. Three editable default plans ship with the theme: Free (a small ad allowance), Basic (more ads plus featured slots), and a top-tier Business plan (higher ad and featured allowances). Sellers pay online through the built-in checkout. You set every price, duration and limit yourself in the membership plan manager.

2

Paid ad boosts

Sellers can pay online through the built-in checkout to make an ad stand out with Featured, Highlighted or Urgent badges. Each boost can carry an expiry date. Plan limits already control how many of each boost a seller receives — so free posters stay limited while paying sellers get more visibility at the top of the lists.

3

Freemium model

Let people post a few free ads so your site fills with listings and search traffic grows. Then invite active sellers to move up a plan or buy boosts when they want more ads, longer run times or stronger placement.

4

Advertising space

Sell banner spots to local businesses, or place Google AdSense and affiliate ads in the widget areas. The theme’s widget-ready layout pairs well with the 007AJ Ad Placer plugin if you want a simple way to manage those placements.

5

Business & dealer accounts

Stores, realtors, car lots and recruiters post often. Offer higher-tier plans with larger ad allowances and more featured slots so volume sellers become your steadiest monthly customers.

6

Category sponsorships

Sell the top of a busy category — Real Estate, Jobs, Vehicles and similar — to one local business that wants first-look placement every time a buyer browses that section.

7

Lead generation

Every ad message brings a contact between a buyer and a seller. That traffic and those conversations can feed an email list, partner referrals or other lead-based revenue on top of plans and boosts.

You control the numbers. Plan prices, durations, ad allowances and Featured / Highlighted / Urgent counts are all editable in the Classifieds Theme settings. Sellers pay for plans and boosts online through the built-in checkout. Build the freemium mix that fits your city or niche.

SITE & DESIGN

A familiar classifieds homepage buyers already understand

Big search, clear categories and featured listings — laid out like the marketplaces people already use.

Kijiji-style homepage

A large search bar for keyword, category and location, a category grid with icons and subcategory links, Featured Ads, Recent Ads and a Post Ad banner.

Full-width & responsive

A full-width layout that stays clear on phones, tablets and desktops so buyers and sellers can use the site anywhere.

Sticky header actions

Quick search in the header, Sign In / Register for visitors (Dashboard when logged in), and a clear Post Ad button always within reach.

12 categories, 80 subcategories

Ready-made categories with subcategory links are created automatically when you switch the theme on — a full classifieds tree without manual setup.

One-click sample data

Install twelve sample ads with photos from the admin, explore every screen, then remove the sample content with one click when you go live.

Documentation included

Buyer documentation (documentation.html) ships in the package so you can set up plans, listings and front-end pages with clear steps.

LISTINGS

Post, browse, filter and map every ad

Sellers post from the front end. Buyers find ads with search, filters and maps.

Front-end Post Ad form

Users post ads without opening the WordPress admin. Fields cover title, description, price, condition, brand, location, category and a photo gallery.

Single ad pages

Each ad shows a photo gallery, full details, a seller box and a map so buyers can judge the listing and the location at a glance.

Archives & categories

Listings archive plus category and subcategory pages keep browsing organised as your catalogue grows.

Advanced search & filters

Buyers narrow results quickly with advanced search and filters instead of scrolling endless lists.

Google Maps

Maps on single ads plus a map of all ads help buyers explore listings by place as well as by category.

Automatic ad expiry

Ads expire automatically after the number of days set on the seller’s plan, so old listings do not clutter the site forever.

USER ACCOUNTS

Seller dashboards, messages and reviews

Members stay on your branded pages — login, register, dashboard, inbox and profile.

Front-end login & register

Login, register and logout pages on the front end keep everyday users out of the WordPress dashboard.

User dashboard

Stats and ad views, My Listings, Add and Edit Listing, Favorites, Messages and Profile — all in one place for each member.

Favorites & avatars

Buyers save ads to Favorites. Profile avatars help sellers look recognisable across listings and messages.

Buyer–seller messages

A contact form on each ad opens a conversation. Every user gets an inbox, and admins can view messages when needed.

Seller reviews & star ratings

Buyers leave seller reviews with star ratings so trust builds as the marketplace grows.

ADMIN TOOLS

Plans, boosts and shortcodes under one settings panel

Run the marketplace from the Classifieds Theme settings panel, with plan controls and quick listing toggles.

Per-ad boosts with expiry

Admins can switch Featured, Highlighted and Urgent badges on per ad, each with an expiry date.

Listings screen shortcuts

Admin columns and quick toggles on the Listings screen speed up day-to-day moderation.
