hi, intro and advice needed :)
 

hi, my name is Dave.

been lurking here for a few months... reading posts and whatnot.

I run internet dating, tips for internet dating, dating advice for guys, best way to meet women and Attract Hotter Women

my business sells dating info products to men.

I have 2 "main" brands as you see above and have been selling these dating programs for 11+ years now. I've done fairly well... the online dating one has done 7 figures in the last 11 years which sounds great, but it's like 100-200k a year... each year so its not AS impressive (and I don't have anywhere near a million LOL)

This year however things literally fell off the fucking cliff.

Not sure why either.

Are you guys hurting on the dating stuff?

It seems like everyone in my "niche" who sells similar type stuff is getting destroyed, some of the big guys have pretty much left the niche to sell ED products/pills.

Personally, I'm down around 50-60% YTD in direct traffic... and obviously the revenue has decreased similarly.

My strength is all the creative stuff... design, making offers, products, emails and sequences, copy, setting all the funnels up and building the brand.

What I am not good at is traffic and lead gen.

And obviously now, my business is suffering.

Honestly, I'm sitting here at home working... staring at the screen or the wall... and i'm in a rutt doing the same things... which obviously aren't helping... so I know I need to reach out and get some other perspectives and advice.

i guess I'm looking for advice... different opinions and perspectives on things...

ultimately, I need to ramp up traffic back to the site and rebuild the email lists.

thats what needs to get done.

HOW it's going to get done, i'm not really sure.

Once thats done, I'm sure we'll be right back to normal....

but man... its SO F'n frustrating right now...

Appreciate any tips, advice or perspectives you can share.

thanks for reading...

Dave

Guys ( even the stupid ones) have finally figured out that there are about 100,000 dating sites containing less then 100s ( not thousands) real women. The rest is BS or other guys:2 cents:

So after cams, comes dating and now VR... Now, VR dating would be a hit. I have a contact to some Japanese blow up dolls manufacturers who can help you:thumbsup

It looks like your sites are not completely responsive so you are (probably) not only losing visitors but also search engine traffic.

@ celandine - LOL sorry... I think your view is completely skewed from reality.... you gotta get off that reefer or shrooms, or share some of it!. :)

We never promote dating sites other than match.com... thats the #1 site I've used when I was single... that, pof, okcupid and now tinder.

with those sites, which are real ones, not the garbage a lot of affiliates promote to make a buck.. once you know what your'e doing you can meet a lot of women (if you'd like)

and I have more than enough proof to back that up.

but thats not even the point of this thread.

@Jerkules - thanks... yeah , i really stopped doing SEO back in april 2011 when G went mental with their bans and shit... don't think my site ever got things back.... (I was using Xrumer back then successfully)...and I'm no SEO dude... I don't know wtf to do to get it back or to really get traffic to it from SEO anymore.

I have a new homepage done... just adding the form codes to it... but its more of a "real" homepage and also responsive.

Put up links to HookUP.com Dating site :thumbsup

We have great mainstream male focused traffic and websites that would drive great targeted traffic to your site. Email me or ping me on skype at afiasc1 and we can chat about the different things we could do together

You are a stand up guy :thumbsup you could have yelled and screamed at me for making facetious remarks, but you did not. So good luck and a bump for you.:2 cents:

@TrafficGoldmine - sure... but it's a 2 way street my man... what are you guys going to do for me?

@ celandine - thanks... yeah, no need to yell and scream, I'm not here to argue with people... i'm here to make more money.

plus you must have been smoking some good stuff when you posted that LOL :-) so naturally I wanted some LOL :) :-)
