A: Hi Alan7777
Glad to hear from you, Let me tell you the business here, Directories are quite popular now a days. People who is building directory websites are charging the users to list their business and listing n the site. As the Platfrom bring visitors and put impact on the web, so based on the platform visibilities users are listing and paying for it to display or put the list in the directory. That is how it works.

and here freelancers, entrepreneurs, and agencies means the platform owners. Not that they are the users.

Thanks
