How does Nextdoor make money?

Nextdoor makes money through advertisements and commissions. Initially, Nextdoor was funded by venture capitalists, but in 2006, they began making money through advertisements. Nextdoor shares advertisements on its website. These advertisers pay Nextdoor for the exposure.

There are two models of advertisements on Nextdoor. One model pays the website simply based on how many people click on whatever page features that specific advertisement. There are also advertisements that pay based on how many people actually click on the advertisement and in some cases, pay if people actually purchase the item through clicking.
