Starting your own Dating site

Instead of promoting other people's dating sites, what does it take for me to create my own?

lots of starting capital and a unique idea :-) so i guess thats not an option but you can look for some whitelabel dating offers (cupid has a pretty good whitelabel program).

What are the pros and cons of cupid whitelabel?

Can i modify my site? Can I change how much I charge?

Can I add extra code?

If you could provide a bit more info i'd really appricate it!

No, he's saying that the barrier to entry on starting a new dating site is too high. You can't do it without enormous resources.

He's suggesting whitelabel to avoid getting in trouble with traffic sources.

You see, I would love to create a dating site and be an advertiser with neverblue or EWA and not a publisher.

Being an advertiser is where the really big money is.

brock, i see you have been thinking about doing this.

Have you gone on and did a whitelabel dating website?

they provide all the info you need on their site http://whitelabeldating.cupidplc.com/ so i thought it's not necessary to write it all down here because it's very time consuming :-)

Thanks, I read through it all.

I see they will host my site on their servers. Is there a way I can host it on mine and use their API?

and Neverblue is AOR on Cupid..maybe they offer a whitelabel solution too..not sure about that

Sorry if I missed it on their site. All I read was that they will host it and nothing weather that can be changed or not.

sure there is big money to be made..but do you have the big money to fund this kind of business? and i'm not talking about a couple thousand $s

stick to one thing buddy, really.

Yep whitelabeldating.com is the one that I hear most when people say they create dating pages, and I know some people are chucking up some serious numbers.

I also heard they have a database of a few million people who are open to viewing your dating site from others, not sure how it all works because I am not that technical haha but yeah it can help you to bring in money.

Also you choose the model you want to charge, as in I think there is a silver and a gold package, so sign up is usually free but then its like $10-$50month/depending on what the user can do and whitelabeldating handles all this.

I never ended up doing that since it was a lot of hassle/work and unless the site generated a lot of revenue they would give you only 50%.

I've put a ton of thought into this but little research. I've talked to friends though who explained the many many complications involved and proper capital that's needed.

btw besmir i never saw that post!

I was just thinking that I could increase my profit margin by sending traffic from POF to my own dating site.

I don't really think it's worth it unless you want to invest money / time into it longterm.

Just negotiate a better deal and get a higher payout with the network you work with or just go direct.
