There are many ways that you can earn with sponsored items. This tutorial will use one example of how to enable and manage sponsored items. This is not for managing user created ads as we have a tutorial for that already. To earn with sponsor items, be sure you have set up your payment gateway.

Enabling User Group Settings

Before your users can sponsor items, you need to enable the option for every feature you want them to purchase sponsor ads - for those that offer to sponsor. Please see our tutorial for user group settings to learn how to get to the settings area. For this tutorial, we will show how to enable users to sponsor Events and will show for the Admin user group.

Managing Sponsored Items

Sponsored items are managed in the Ads app. 



If you are not seeing the ads, you may have set the Advanced Ad Filters (found in ad settings). Disable this as it can make it very hard for your users to see the ads. The advanced filters work fine if everyone on the site fills in their full details for location, zip code, etc. If not, you will lose a lot of income from ads.
