Making extra money with a dating site

27 October 2008 284 views 10 Comments

Making money with a dating site is still possible today, although thousands of such websites are available throughout the Internet.

Setting up a dating site does not necessarily have to be expensive. In fact you can set up such a website almost free of charge by following these steps:

  • Find an online dating service that offers free affiliate hosting and support for your users. For example diy-dating.com or megafriends.com.
  • Visit Free Wordtracker Tool and find dating related keywords.
  • Select a keyword targeted domain name for your website using these keyword phrases.
  • Set up your site and domain.
  • Find other dating sites and exchange links with them; auto submit your site to related directories, bookmarking services.

If you set up an affiliate online dating site that makes money the old-fashioned way i.e. fee based subscriptions, then you will be getting % from all the daters you subscribe and their paid profile upgrades.

If you decide to stick with a free online dating service then your options may be various. The most popular ones are: selling banners, text link ads, affiliate programs.

My suggestion would be: when selecting a domain name, try some less popular keywords that get 10-20 searches a day. This way it will be easier for you to get a decent positions on the SEARPs.

Good Luck in dating an money making!

    How should we build the site? Should it be static pages, blogs or forums (Markus Frind’s PlentyOfFish?)

    People will do whatever they can to make money especially during times like these when things are so uncertain. My cousin who had a very lucrative marine construction job is now an ice cream truck man, thats how bad things have gotten and goes to show the extent people will go to make money when they need to.

    Online Dating Sites are Booming. Great for anyone that want to earn some extra money online. This is a genuine opportunity. When we demeanour during a bottom of any dating site, we will some-more than expected see a add-on which says Affiliate. If we click upon that, we will be redirected to an additional page which will get we to pointer up. This is not for a dating service, though some-more of a partnership with a site to marketplace as well as afterwards get paid a commission.

    There are two fundamental problems with dating companies:
    1)
    On western dating sites the ratio of men to women is stacked against men 80 : 20
    2)
    The ratio is much better on the international sites, but the problem is even more acute - far too many scams.

    Lol, quite interesting picture! I’ve got no problems with dating services, infact they work very well for singles out there but if there’s not any proper system placed, it’s not a good idea to use it. But I think the sites you mentioned are quite good and there have been few sites I know as well which are sort of dating sites and very good. As long as the content and message is clean, it helps society a lot.

    Now a days people can do anything to earn money online and this is the nice way to earn money through dating sites but I think that people find problems when they exchanging links with other dating sites so you have to be very careful for selecting a domain name. The domain name must be trusted. According to me this is the best way to earn extra money online.
