If you have a minute for all the details...then keep on reading while I break it all down.

Lets get started

One of the first things you'll have to decide is if you're building a dating website community that willbe free for all or pay to join? Let's go over the cacamedia.com two.

Free or Paid

This is a very important question and in many ways will determine your level of success. I've workedwith both and each has it's pros and cons.

Free Membership Dating Sites

Choosing to create a free dating website will definitely help you build your community fast. Thismethod is especially useful if you choose a small niche or local market to building your communityaround. For example Miami Pet Lovers or Orange County Singles. When you choose a small nicheand then make the site free; it becomes easier to attract singles that are eager to join. I use thismethod when I start with zero members and wanted cacamedia.com to build a community of realusers.

Just because you start out as a free dating website doesn't mean you have to stay that way. If you arein a niche with very little competition; you can easily start to charge to make money from the site.But keep reading because charging your members isn't the only way to make money from yourdating website.

Example of Popular Free Dating Website

One of the most popular free dating site is Plenty of Fish; this site now has millions of members andstill offer a free membership.

Paid Membership Dating Sites

Getting started with a paid membership site requires a marketing strategy. If you are going thisroute you will have to do one of two things (or both). Purchase a member database of singles thatwill give you site the appearance of having active members or pre-register members before youlaunch the site.

Think about it; no one wants to pay to date no one. If there are no members no one will pay to stayon your site. So this method will require marketing cash to get started. Another option with thismethod is to partner with a white label dating site affiliate that supplies members for you and thenpay you a % of any new members that join through your website.
