Shops are a cool way to offer new and exciting things and entice people to post to spend forum cash you might have on your forum. I know some forums out there offer merchandise for forum cash, so doing that also is a great way to get advertisment by selling merchandise. 🙂
Membership: Known as VIP is where members pick what group they want to go with, it starts from $5 a month for basic and it goes up to three groups. with VIP they get allot of unlocked items and cool giveaways. and in the long run the money goes back into the cost of running the site.
Games: I have an store marketplace for my members to buy any games that I be adding that will be cheaper then steam and other online gaming store
Advertisement: I'm not going to post in details, but there are 6 options to pick from that people can pay for slots to advertise
