Internet Dating Business

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:58:27 +0000

With 2009 quickly approaching, a lot of people are thinking about what type of new business they can start. While there are many things out there that you can do online, none of them are as fun and as rewarding as starting an online dating website. Getting good dating software and starting a niche market dating site can be a lot of fun and if you do it right, it can also earn you a big chunk of money too. I’ll explain the rewarding part with a true story about a niche market dating site that I helped start.

A few years ago I setup a very popular dating site and had the opportunity to help a special girl find the love of her life. Now, this site was setup in 2002 and it was about 6 months into it that I started getting emails from a particular girl and how she had found, what she called, the perfect man. Now, this wasn’t a localized dating site, it was an International dating site that catered to Western men looking for Asian women. After she was talking with him on the phone, email and instant messenger, she decided to fly to Australia to meet him. To make a long story short, they haven’t been away from each other since then. It is now about 6 years later and they are married and they are still as happy as can be. I continue to get updates from them about every 6 months on how they are doing and to personally keep thanking me for bringing them together. It has absolutely been one of the biggest highlights of being in this business.?Below you will find a photo of Bencha and Neil.

There is a huge demand these days for online dating sites and with memberships and revenue increasing, now is the time to get in on this multi-billion dollar a year industry. The last few months have been especially profitable for dating sites due to the economy. This is mainly due to people not wanting to go out to bars and clubs and spend tons of money on alcohol trying to find their match, so they are staying home and staying at home means that they are online looking. So, it’s a great time for online dating sites. It’s also a great time for anyone to get great dating software and start their own online dating site. Again, it’s not only profitable, it’s also rewarding.

Online Dating Industry Growing

I was reading an article today and it stated that more and more people are searching online for partners in these more financially difficult times. That makes a lot of sense. It also stated that people tend to want to have a companion in times of stress. That also makes a lot of sense too. We are human after all and as far back as man can remember, people needed and had companions. How does this play out in the dating software world? Well, in my opinion, it’s a huge opportunity for people to start more niche market dating sites.

Niche market dating sites are dating sites that go after specific needs and specific genres. I don’t recommend going after a market that is generalized like Match.com. Not unless you have a few million dollars to spend on advertising and the way the market is now, if you did have millions of dollars, I’d sure hang on to it!

How is the online dating industry growing you ask? Perfectmatch.com has reported a 47 percent jump in the number of members in the three months to November compared to the previous quarter, supporting theories that the online dating industry could be a business that does very well during an economic slowdown. This is also the case for Match.com who said it had experienced its largest membership growth over the last seven years in November.

So what does this mean to you? Well, if more and more people are searching online for a date then why not provide them with a specific niche market that can isolate more of a matching interest and thereby putting more profit into your online dating business.

If you got questions then we sure have the answers.

Dating Software with Video

Every dating site needs some form of video. Whether it’s live video instant messenger or the ability for your users to upload video profiles. Dating sites have progressed so much since the days of a photo and a profile. These days members searching for dates want as much information on their match as possible. By adding video profiles as well as video IM, your members will be able to determine more about their potential match before contacting them. Photos are so one sided but adding a video profile gives the member a 3 dimensional way of gaining more information on their possible match.

Wazzum provides both video options in our dating software and social software. We use FFMPEG as main video converter. FFMPEG is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It works the say way as YouTube in that you upload your video and the FFMPEG will convert it to a streaming format. This allows members to record video and audio and store the files for streaming by other members. If you are going to use our dating software or social software and you want to take advantage of the video converter, then you will have to have FFMPEG installed on your server. This is a free download and can be installed relatively easy. If you don’t have FFMPEG on your server then contact your hosting provider and they can install it for you.

Wazzum dating software also includes the live video instant messenger and live video chat. This allows members of your dating site or social site to communicate one on one with each other via their webcam. This is a great way enhance your site.

If you have questions about our dating software or social software and they way FFMPEG is used, simply contact us. We’re here to help.
