How did they do this?

Hey everybody,

I was wondering how some dating website were able to get so many members.

I mean, at the beginning they most probably had like 0 members so how did they get people to sign up. Who would sign up if a site that acts worldwide only has let's say 200 members. Nobody would sign up to such a site because it would be impossible to find a date

So how did they get so big?


Thanks and all the best

    It's all about marketing lol. And also it's about a ton of fake profiles at the start. Or a massive marketing budget.

      Some dating websites script can create fake profiles so they will create a 100 profiles for example then do a mass ppc campaign to have a large number of people sign up in a short period of time.

      THIS ^ It draws the guys in. The site generates enough money to pull in real women through ads. Either that or the dating site already has a huge marketing budget to begin with

    Like the above poster said, it's all in the marketing like with everything else you are trying to promote or sell..

    Most people focus on their website or business when in all actuality they should be focusing on their marketing efforts.


    Learn and become a Marketing Expert and i promise you that you can sell Raid to a Bug!

    Good luck,
