How do Upsells work?
Upsells are a great way of interacting with your readership, while also providing a revenue opportunity. BLOX Businesses lets users claim their business and make a number of business modifications for free. Upsells can be offered that include additional benefits over the free tier. User-contributed news is always a welcomed source of information, so instead of simply offering a free Submit News form, provide upsell options for a mutual benefit. Free user-contributed content could be featured within the /news/local section, while an upsell could offer the additional benefit of also being featured within the front site page.
