At Internshala, so far, we have figured 3 ways to monetize -
1. Charge the student - either for core service (i.e. ability to search and apply for internships) or for value added services (say a resume writing service, a skill based training or simply 'promoting' your application up the order in the list etc.). At Internshala core platform is free of cost and we offer 2 value added services (resume writing and online skill based trainings) for which we charge students.

2. Charge the employer - for posting internships (again models may vary in details such as you may charge per posting, per successful hire, per application received etc.) or value added service (such as publicising the internship on social media platforms or in newsletter etc.). At Internshala, so far we have kept it completely free for employers.

3. Charge the 3rd party such as advertisers who may want to advertise their offerings to the student base of the website through banner on the website, through email burst to the users etc.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks
