Three popular ways to start making money are through your city's built-in ad banner system, online shopping cart, and with affiliate programs. You set the price with your ads and make as much as you want. You can sell any product or service you want through your local shopping section. Promoting affiliate programs on your site earn you money every time a purchase is made by adding links and banners. And because City Create is so affordable, you don't have to sell hundreds of products to keep your city. Most city guide owners pay for their monthly fee AND make a profit with one sold banner alone!
