                lol Charles... With all your traffic, I know you don't have issues with dating. FYI - There are some sweet iPhone apps that work better than most dating sites! I tested for research purposes only... of course!

                        Isn't the dating market a scam though?

                          It really depends which part of the business you want to enter.

                          Affiliate/Lead generation
                          Free Dating site
                          Paid Dating site

                          Obviously as an affiliate it just takes a little time and grunt work. The investment to start is quite cheap.

                          Free dating sites can be started with out of the box software and are a great way to get your feet wet.

                          Paid dating sites really require custom software which could cost quite a bit of money. $10k+, and most likely over $50k depending on the avenue you choose to develop the software.

                          How so? Are the late night "Love Line" or "party chat" phone chats a scam? They are all filled with actresses playing the part of real girls interested in what the guy has to say. Most of these sites skate by with carefully worded fine print in their terms. That doesn't mean there aren't real users on the sites. I met one of my now very good friends on an adult dating site. lol

                                Dating is great as long as they can hold onto their processing.
                                Right now all is good, but for how long, who knows.

                                    As with every part of the business, there are indeed guys taking advantage of the situation and running cross sales on "free dating" sites. As long as those stay in the minority the dating market has the ability to grow and morph into something even more profitable. Dating is an extension of social media. If played right, dating sites can become social media powerhouses.

                                      I agree with that.

                                            I'll put the word out to my clients that you're looking.

                                            You know where to find me if there's anything I can do...

                                            Hope things are going well for you, Mike.

As long as those stay in the minority the dating market has the ability to grow and morph into something even more profitable. Dating is an extension of social media. If played right, dating sites can become social media powerhouses.




                                                    Want to hit me up with the details?

                                                    What do you think the current social media sites with millions of users are being used for? Dating is a dying market, worse than porn even.

The industry is suffering worse than ever right now, that's probably why you and many other notable names are on here looking for work. I didn't say there was no money in porn, I said dating and porn are dying businesses. This is true for their current forms only, as mentioned earlier Facebook / MySpace work just fine as free dating sites and everyone is already using one or the other.

If you could generate 30 joins a day (which as you know is not alot for a decent dating affiliate) you'd make FAR, FAR more than anyone would ever pay salary / consulting wise. Seems like a no brainer for someone whos been in the game as long as you have.
