Dating Software

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.

Thanks,

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.

When visitors click away from your dating site you probably lose that traffic forever.

This means increased sales and better profits for you.
