In continuation from the previouse post about making money at weblo.com here are more details:

Flipping (Resale)
The selling of an asset for more money then you paid for it (resale for profit). AdvertisingYour membership level will directly affect the advertising revenue you earn on your site (10% of what is earned for basic/free membership, 50% for VIP members etc.). Revenue is distributed depending on the number of clicks you receive from unique visitors as well.


Mayor Earnings (Greater Revenue Streams)
Mayors earn a 0.5% surcharge applied to every transaction in their city. This means that Weblo Mayors earn $0.05 per every $10 spent in their city. More revenue streams are available to mayors if 2 criteria are met at the moment that the transaction is made in your city:

1) Members visiting your city pages will rank your site. Your site must maintain a relevancy ranking of 60% or higher
2) Your site must be updated on a weekly basis at minimum.If these conditions are met, Weblo

Mayors will also earn:
a) 1% of membership fees from members registered in your city (100 VIPs annually = $269)

b) 5% of initial purchase price on properties purchased in your state (from Weblo.com and before transaction fees)

Airport Owner Earnings
Airport owners share all earnings with the other airports in their state. The amounts distributed are based upon the ranking of each airport individually, relative to the others in the state. The highest ranked airport earns more than the lowest ranked but the actual share depends on the number of airports registered in the territory.
