Is it a dating site a waste of time

I'm wanting to start an online dating site but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's really possible to make money off a dating site. And anyone know of any good free dating site programs someone on a tight budget can use to start their dating site?

Well I found a site with a software that looks pretty good but now I'm wondering if I should buy it. It's from http://www.etown21.com

Anybody familiar with them? Can't seem to find too much feedback anywhere about them to make my final decision about buying.

I just really want to try a dating site cause I'm ready everywhere how it's a great, easy way to make at least 5 extra grand a month. Any information will help a lot.

There is no easy way to make money on the internet, don't be fooled. People arn't going to flock to your site as soon as you set it up. You need to market it, advertise, and give your visitors a reason why they should pay and sign up with you rather then go with the one of the other many dating sites out there.

One downside to dating/community sites is, there has to be quite a few people already active on the site for new members to want to join. Why would anybody signup for your services when there are no members? You'll probably be giving away free memberships for a while to build a customer base.


You need to do your research and write up a business plan if you seriously want to make money from any kind of venture. Expect to lose money before you make it.

I don't mean to discourage you or anything, just trying to help you out the best way I know how.


Good luck!
