In the past years, small businesses could struggle to gain exposure, but today, Yelp has made it easy to spread quickly about the quality of all kinds of services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can easily get to Yelp, look through reviews, and read about other people’s experiences before patronizing any business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond reviews, Yelp also features events and special offers from businesses. You can make friends and also send direct messages to other users, just as it is done on Facebook. You can see specific reviewers’ posts when looking at a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all these features and benefits Yelp offers to businesses, you can tell that they make a lot of money but, how? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know how Yelp makes money, you must first learn about the full business model; from there, you can decipher their source of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yelp was started in 2004 by two former PayPal employees, Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons, with a $1 million in funding. The idea was to create an \u2019email circle\u2019 that allowed friends to swap business reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Yelp has become the biggest platform that connects people with local businesses. It allows them to search, locate, book, and review local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
