Website Review and Suggestions

Im making a simple to use web portal but i really dont know which option should i take to maximize its potential. Some i've think about:
- Make it GPL and put ads on the page, yet i think it might take really long for me to see any money -_-
- Make it Pay-to-use but the amount of people that would buy it would be really low or none since they can find other similar scripts out-there for free -_-
- Sell the rights of the whole thing to someone so i can save myself the trouble of seeing other people using and abusing my script (probably getting free and selling it themselves).
Well, well -_-

If you create something of very high quality then there's no reason why you shouldn't make it a commercial product and earn some income from it, you are putting a lot of development time into it. One idea would to release a basic version free of charge and work on a more advanced version which you'd charge for.

How do i make it a commercial product? Do i need a special license for that? I really dont understand much of such matters.
