build your own dating website
Always be the landlord, never the tenant. Lender not a borrower be. Own the infrastructure.
Wow - I sound like my old economics tutor. But if you spend enough time on your profiles trying to find love might think that it would be simpler to just start a dating site yourself, earn a million, and put THAT on your profile along with a photo of you standing alongside your Aston Martin DB9. Hmmm I wonder if THAT would be a better profile pic.
So there are a lot of sites offering a quick start for new dating websites. eMeeting dating scripts is one site which seems to place customer service higher than sales - which is unusual. The clearest sign of this is the extensive knowledge base and support features which are available to anyone - not just customers. Being confident to show this stuff publicly is a great sign.
While the dating space seems crowded, I’m sure there are gaps in the market. Maybe you are a gardener, and want to hook up with another gardener. Register ‘ilikegardeners.com’ (it’s available, I checked!) and buy the dating scripts, spend some time with photoshop and a day later you have a business. Assuming of course that there are enough gardeners sharing your liking for gardeners.
The video tutorials on setup, using your site, and the various other aspects of managing the business are pretty comprehensive. They take you as far as most people will need to go, and if you need to go further the feedback sections indicate that the company is helpful in pointing you in the right direction and even making changes for you.
We’d love to hear from sites out there using eMeeting - we’ll link you up and hopefully do a quick interview about your experiences. Get in touch below.
