I am running out of ideas

Hi @technician27,

I firstly want to say well done for actually starting up your dating website, as many people talk about launching their business, without actually doing it. It's good that your here for the long term, as this is a project which will take time.

I'm slightly confused though, do you want more money with ads, or do you want more members? So I'll answer both.

A good way to bring in money is with Google Adsense, which I personally use on my website. You only get paid when someone clicks onto your ads (and some money via impressions).

However, this could distract the user, and perhaps disinterest the user with your whole of your website, so be careful with how you implement ads into your website. I would say use a maximum of 2 ads per page.

If you want to bring in members into your website, why are you different from the rest of your competition? If your going to survive within your space, you need to be unique. What makes you different from the other dating websites, and why should users come to you?

But for a dating website to work, you need as many single people as possible. So I say, market the website like crazy, and keep going on those social media websites.

Definetly you need A foot in the door.
What do I mean by that?dating is a higly specialised field. I do not know anything about your site, but if you're not allready doing so I'd reccomend to specialise in a special kind of people (e.g. seniors) or a specific area, the best thing whould be an area you acctualy know.
then focus your marketing there, life events like a sponsoring or organizing a blin-date event or a dance party ect. are a good way of getting a foot in the door.

Thanks for your reply guys. What I was asking is without spending money how can I get more traffic and get people register with my site? Why Should they use my site? This is big question but what can I say so far is; my site is 100% free to use, you can search members by postcode/zipcode,any fake profiles andpictures getting removed immediately, members can see if their messages been read or not etc etc. and I got those features listed on my home page. Anyway I am focusing to local singles in my area at the moment but I am getting members from all around UK, USA and Canada at the moment, but I need more member and without spending money. So how can I do it by using social media sites? I also have blog page and some of my articles been viewed like over 2k times

If you've made your website user friendly, cool and able to give great service to that particular niche then well done otherwise get it done with you focused on optimum service that you can give... forget about monetizing your site for now as you haven't got any good amount of visitors yet save from you and your partner or probably your friends or from non-targeted social media guys with bounce rate of 90%. Concentrate on SEO, promoting your site to social media, giving away stuffs with your promotion to many high PR sites like scribd.com, craiglist, and many more. You can also put your backlinks to highly targeted sites to funnel more traffic. Website promotion / internet marketing is the backbone of your business, without it, your business will die as nobody knows about it, it's like winking to a girl in the dark, only you knows it... so IMHO concentrate on promoting your sites, there are loads of ways how to do it,, you can just google it - all you need is hard work, persistence and patience. Online business is a long term committment, you won't hit the mark overnight. Goodluck!
