I don't think paying to get your location to become a pokestop is the right move. Pokéstop modules are already a pretty good answer, just upgrade the pokéstop (after requesting one to be added). I'm guessing a paid subscription model for a permanent lure module could work too for effective monetization. Same for other kinds of modules, and even tiers of more powerful modules. Also for more module slots.
