Dating Software

OK, so you want to purchase dating software and start your own International dating site. If you do, here are some things to consider.

First off, when you are ready to purchase your dating software you won’t need to worry about having zip codes in them. An International dating site is based on International countries and not zip codes so if you see that a zip code module is being offered at $50 dollars, then don’t buy it. You won’t need it. People don’t even know zip codes for other countries. So, skip that in your dating software. If you have zip codes in your dating software and you can turn them off, then do so, you won’t need them.

International dating is a tricky business. It’s good to have people in those other countries that can help you get profiles into your dating software. Having friends and family in other countries will help you out and having free advertising in other countries will save you money in the end. You’ve already spent money on the dating software so you might want to take advantage of that.

Watch out for the scams. IMHO, you might want to block certain countries from accessing your dating software site. You can use .htaccss file to control that. Below is a list of countries that I would personally block.

1. Nigeria
2. Amsterdam
3. France
4. Ghana
5. All of Eastern Europe
6. Mali

Those are the first ones that come to my mind. If you have others then for sure add them.

Got questions, let me know.

Most dating software packages have some form of chat but they don’t have a real Live Video Instant Messenger. If you want to have a real dating site then you are going to need a real Live Video Instant Messenger. This allows your members to communicate with each over via webcam that will provide video and audio. This is crucial. If you don’t have it then you shouldn’t be running a dating site.

Most dating software packages will have the chat but you are going to need an instant messenger integrated and those can be costly. These days live video is created using the Macromedia Flash Media Server software. This software is very expensive and will cost you a few thousand dollars and that doesn’t include the interface that you will need to have designed. That will set you back a few more thousand dollars. There is simply no need for that kind of money to be spent. I believe in keeping the overhead low.

Userplane offers a free chat and instant messenger that you an integrate into your new dating software or existing dating software and can be done for little or no cost. The only downside is that you get ads served with it and that to me is not a problem. Just look at Plentyoffish. They use the Userplane free chat and instant messenger.

Userplane also offers a paid service which won’t show any ads and that will cost you about $50 dollars a month for 10 concurrent connections. I’d go with the free one myself. Userplane has been around for a long time and we have worked with them for many years. It’s a vital part of any dating software or social software.

so, if you are looking for a reliable and affordable chat and instant messenger solution for your dating software, then check out Userplane.com. If you need help integrating their solution into your dating software, let me know. We can do that for you if you need it. It’s pretty straight forward though.

Dating software has been around for a long time and there are many dating software providers out there that will sell you a standard dating software package but they are all the same. They all have the same features and they same formats. Nothing really original about them. Not unless you count the design as original. That’s about all you get different with them all. Oh and the content too! That is really the only thing different about all the dating software packages out there.

Ok, so say you want to create your own custom dating software for your own dating site. What do you do? Where do you go? Who do you talk to? Custom dating software these days can run you thousands of dollars. In my opinion this is not a good idea unless you are “Really” thinking outside the box where pre-existing dating software features will be null and void! As long as you don’t want internal email, internal live video chat, internal/external search, then you should go with your own custom dating software.

There are thousands of offshore developers in Russia, Ukraine and India. Now for my own personal experience, stay away from Russian developers. They are known to steal your dating software and start selling it as their own. I could name a ton of current dating software providers that have stolen their dating software and using it as their own. So, don’t go with a Russian programmer. I myself like to use reputable programmers for India. They are much easier to work with and at times, a whole lot cheaper.

Indian programmers can be bought from anywhere from $5 to $15 dollars per hour. If you need an Indian programmer and want to trust them for developing your own custom dating site then let me know. I can put you in contact with a great company there in India. I get no kickbacks so there is no affiliate here for them. They have great designers as well and they look at the project as a whole.

Be sure you have a clear path to what you are wanting to develop when you are ready to go with a custom dating software solution. Prepare yourself with mockups done in Photoshop that clearly define what you want it to look like. Having mockups cuts your dev time in half. Trust me. I’ve learned from that mistake. You don’t need to be a graphic designer to do it either. Simply drawing it on paper and scanning it will work too. Remember to have a clear idea of where you are going before you begin. That will make the custom dating software development go that much smoother.

If you have questions about dating software or social software custom work and need some help, please feel free to contact me for any reason.

Also, once you get your site up, be sure to get my Make Money Online guide that will show you how to make money with your dating or social site. Also works for any type of web site.

Today I got an email from someone that was looking for Speed Dating Software. I really don’t get a lot of requests for speed dating software. The speed dating business is not what it used to be IMHO. It requires a lot of work as well as a bit of money for advertising.

The way speed dating works is that there is usually a venue where men and women show up and get to interview the opposite sex for about 3 minutes then they move to the next candidate. Once it’s over, the members will go back to the website and enter their matches. If there is a mutual match then contact information is sent to both parties. But why can’t you just slip your phone number to them while sitting? Seems a lot easier and quicker than waiting for someone to enter the matches online. But who am I to judge…

I’ve been to a few of these speed dating events and they are all the same. They are fun and can take about an hour to get through. If your single and you got nothing better to do then go for it.

As for starting your own speed dating software site, that is a different story. Finding the right speed dating software can be difficult. Not many vendors sell speed dating software anymore. It’s all about dating software and social software these days. There are a couple of them still out there but I really don’t think they are that great. With speed dating, you will not only need speed dating software but you will also need a place to have it as well as money to advertise.

The guy I talked to today decided to create his own from scratch. It sure does pay to be a PHP developer…

I get this question more than any other question. The question is that if I buy dating software, will I still be able to make money with it. The answer is yes. The key to making money with a dating site or social site is to have members and to get members, you have to have something they want and that is content. Whether it’s in the form of new members, new blogs, new articles or anything that the member might be interested it, then your site is capable of making money.

Traffic equals members and members equal money. Even if you don’t charge for membership then you can still run Adsense or Adbrite to monetize your site. Now, the question is not can my site make money, it then becomes how much money can I make? Some people make a few dollars a day advertising on their site and some make hundreds of dollars per day. The possibilities are endless.

Some people often ask me about whether I should start a dating site or a social site. The answer is that it doesn’t matter. If you try to go after a niche market and can provide content for that market then you can do either one. I have a profitable dating site as well as a profitable social networking site. So, it really doesn’t matter. It actually doesn’t have to be a dating or social site. If you sell light bulbs and you can generate traffic to your light bulb website then you can make money.

Remember traffic is key! But no spamming…

Step 1 - First off, you need to find a good domain name. Some will say that all the good domain names are taken. That is actually not true. You can still come up with a good domain name. Most the time when people come to your site, it’s due to a link they found so they really don’t have to type it in. With that said, you should not create a long domain name. You can add words like “My”, “Your” to the front of your chosen name. Use words that describe your web site.

Step 2 - Find the best dating software or social software. I recommend using PHPFox software.

Step 3 - You will need hosting for it. We recommend LunarPages due to the fact that we have used them for over 5 years now and have not had any issues with them. I recommend the VPS server for about $39 dollars. You can’t beat the price for your own dedicated server. Plus you will need VPS so that you can upload videos and music.

Step 4 - Once your web site is installed, you will need to market it. Now, you don’t need to go and spend a ton of money to get it started. What you need to do is get your site out there. Add your site to google and yahoo. Those are the two major search engines. You can submit to them for free. See our marketing page for more info on marketing your site. You can use SubmitExpress.com to submit to them for free. They charge $29 dollars to submit to over 70,000 search engines and directories. It’s a good value. Gets your site out there quickly. Also remember that your site is a business so promote promote promote.

Step 5 - Keep your dating software site content fresh and by that I mean add things often like blogs, forum postings and things like that. Search engines like sites that have fresh content so add entries to the blogs and forums. The more profiles you have that are searchable then that becomes more searchable and indexable content.

If you follow these basic steps then you will generate traffic to your web site. Traffic is what makes money. DO NOT SPAM. That will only get you blacklisted.

From Their Website - When it comes to online dating software, you have a long list of options to choose from. From basic dating scripts to full-featured, professionally developed dating suites. The multitude of choices can make your head spin. How do you decide which application is right for your dating site needs?

vldPersonals is the most trusted, powerful and fully automated online dating and social networking software solution. vldPersonals enables you to create a fully functioning, automated dating website with many of the advanced features found on other dating sites. Members can create profiles, send and receive emails, upload pictures, videos and music, search for other members, chat, add friends and much much more.

Our Review - It has come to our attention that this company has stolen copyrighted text from a reputable dating software provider. They have stolen the text right off the web site and used it in their press releases as well as using that stolen text while promoting their dating software product on countless dating software script sites.

We approached this company and they denied doing it but when they were faced with numerous URL’s, facts and proof, they simply wrote it off as no big deal. I do not promote dating software providers that I feel have lied, cheated or even stolen in order to sell dating software.

They claim to be from Canada but a whois on their domain name quickly turns up a hidden domain which means they don’t want people knowing who they really are. See, you can pay about $10 dollars a year to hide your domain registration and that is what they have done. They don’t have a phone number and my assumption is that they are somewhere in Russia or Eastern Europe.

We also have heard from affiliates of vldPersonals that they don’t pay. Affiliates are people that promote/sell their social software or dating software product on other websites. One case in point is that an affiliate of vldPersonals made a few sales and vldPersonals shut down their affiliate account and then refused to pay them saying that they violated their terms. Some of the more scrupulous social software and dating software providers do this. This is really sad because the real dating software and social software providers suffer from it. It’s sad that a few bad apples can ruin the whole bunch.

I do not recommend you use this dating software company.

Our Review - This is a great package. The prices are really flexible. You can purchase the full price software for $300 dollars or you can rent it monthly for $39 dollars. I like the $39 dollar monthly rental because you can test it out without having to spend the $300 dollars.

The features are easy to use and are located nicely on the page. Now, when it comes to the template design and layout, I wasn’t really all that excited about it. It’s a very plain and boring look to it. However you can create or get another template for it.

Support was easy. That have a phone number you can call as well as a support ticket system that they answer emails very quickly. I really like this company and product.

Working from home has never been better. Starting your own dating software site is a great way to earn extra income. Even better income if you treat it as a business and grow it bigger. Working from home with dating software or social software allows you the freedom to be your own boss.

Dating software allows you to start your own online dating business. Having to never really leave your house could be a good thing but make sure if you do start your new work from home business that you get out of the house often. Growing old in front of your computer is not good!

Couple things to look for when starting a work from home dating software site business is who the provider is and what kind of dating software do they use. Most use PHP dating software while others use ASP. You will also find some other forms of dating software out there but PHP dating scripts are the most common.

Working from home with a great piece of dating software or social software not only improves your skills with the Internet but you will also learn the ins and outs of your dating script. So, whether you are starting a dating site or a social site, making the choice to work from home is a good one.

Now, you don’t always need to start a dating software site to work from home. You can run your own dating site while keeping your old job. It’s a great way to supplement your income. So, go ahead and get started with your work from home dating software site.

Social Software – What is social software? Social software allows you to start your own social network community or social community. With a social software package, you can start a site like Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Tribe and other recognizable social communities. Most people create what they call niche market social sites or specialty sites. An example would be like if you like music, so you would want to create a social site strictly for people that like music. You can even go so far as to create your own niche music social site. Like 80’s music. Believe me, no one has all the niche markets figure out and they never will.

Dating software kind of morphed itself into social software when sites thought about attracting more members by offering free services. People wanted their own areas within sites so groups and friends were added to the dating software and there you go, that is how it got started.

Social software really hasn’t changed much in the year or two that it’s been on the market. You really can’t modify the core components of it but you sure can add utilities that bring people together and that is what I believe social software is doing now.

Finding a good PHP social software script is very easy, there all over the Internet. Finding the best one is the problem. There are a lot of cheap and free ones so watch out. Be sure to look over the whole demo before you purchase it. Be sure to read our reviews on them before you go laying down some cash for social software.

Getting custom work done to a social site can be difficult too. Prices range from $7 dollars an hour to $50 dollars an hour depending on what social software vendor you go with.

So, before you decide on the social software or dating scripts that you want, figure out what idea you are going with. Be creative and if you are not creative, go with what you like. Starting a social software site based on your favorite hobby is a great idea.

The term Online Social software is normally applied to a range of web-enabled online software programs. The programs usually allow users to interact, share, and meet other users online. This computer-mediated communication has become very popular with sites like MySpace and YouTube and has resulted in large user bases and billion dollar purchases of the software and their communities by large corporations. Dating software has really morphed into social sites.

The more specific term collaborative software applies to cooperative information sharing systems, and is usually narrowly applied to the software that enables collaborative work functions. Distinctions between usage of the terms “social” and “collaborative” are in the online applications or uses, not the tools themselves, although there are some tools that are only rarely used for work collaboration.

Social technologies or Conversational technologies used in organizations, in particular a network-centric organization, are other terms used to describe knowledge creation and storage that is carried out through collaborative writing. Constructivist learning theorists such as Vygotsky; Leidner & Jarvenpaa explained that the process of expressing knowledge aids its creation and conversations benefits the refinement of knowledge. Conversational KM fulfills this purpose because conversations, e.g. questions and answers, become the source of relevant knowledge in the organization. Conversational technologies are seen as tools to support work units and the individual knowledge worker.

Many advocates of using these tools believe (and actively argue or assume) that they create actual communities, and have adopted the term “online communities” to describe the resulting social structures.

PHP dating software is the most common dating software on the market. PHP dating scripts are easy to use and faster to load than other dating scripts like ASP. PHP has been around for a few years and continues to be improved upon. Having a PHP dating script insures that your site will grow without major problems.

PHP dating software uses the MySQL database technology that works hand in hand with PHP. It’s a great database and executes extremely fast. Most PHP developers will use MySQL for all the dating software database needs.

PHP means “PHP Hypertext Preprocessor” which is kind of a funny name but it’s great for dating software as well as any other type of dynamic site.

Purchasing or creating a dating software site or a social software site with PHP is the right choice when it comes to scripting languages. PHP will be around for a long time in the dating software world.

Online Dating also known as Internet dating, is a online dating software system that allows individuals, couples and groups to meet online and possibly develop a romantic or sexual relationship. Online dating services provide un-moderated matchmaking through the use of personal computers, the Internet, or even cell phones.

Such services generally allow people to provide personal information, then search for other individuals using criteria such as age range, gender and location. Most online dating script sites allow members to upload photos of themselves and browse the photos of others as well as uploading videos of themselves.

Online dating sites may offer additional services, such as webcasts, online chat, and message boards. Online dating ites sometimes allow people to register for free but may offer services which require a monthly fee. Many online dating sites are broad-based, with members from a variety of backgrounds looking for different types of relationships. Other online dating sites are more specific, based on the type of members, interests, location, or relationship desired. These niche marketing online dating sites usually have smaller numbers as far as members but can specialize in specific needs.
