Common sense on GFY :1orglaugh

I would guess the percentage of men to women on any dating site is very one sided. My sister in law met her partner on a dating site. She was flooded with real requests from real men in a few days. He though had met a couple of women. They're in their 40s.

Threads like this are misleading. They always come from a personal perspective, always have a lot of exaggeration and never change anything. Someone living hand to mouth, who is making minimum wage, would be rejoicing with a a few joins a week.

Someone who use to get 1,000 a day and now only getting 500. Is crying everything's bad.

The benchmark is over the last few years the decline of boards, sites, production and jobs. The claim that everything has gone to the big boys, only lasts until one tries to examine the big boys. Are they making what a couple of medium guys used to make?

The indication of where the new traffic is, is on Tube stats. And in the price of the traffic.

Make sure you're doing your best. The only stats that count are the ones in your bank account.

Jason, how did you get started in this business?

I was in a merchant service type business in the late 90s. A friend of mine had gotten in Adult early and did VERY well. He was starting a new project and I had a marketing background. He thought this new industry might be an interesting fit for me. I came to work for them and took to it like a fish to water, learning all aspects of the business for the first couple years. Being a marketer, I just kept my eyes and ears open, looking for ways to make money in different areas. I slowly started doing little side project, unrelated to what I did for them. Those grew and grew until I was making 10X more on my own stuff than I did from my salary and commission with them (which by that point had gotten pretty good) Obviously I saw I could make, 10, 20, 50X more building my own business than I could ever make working for someone else...evan at a very high salary.

And thats it, have been building, expanding, acquiring, adding and diversifying ever since. With the same partner(s) :)

I think the reason I love this business so much is that its tailor made for us ADD types. What other business can you see the effects of changes you make in minutes. If I have a campaign running and its getting 30k clicks a day, I can have changes made to the creatives, paths, offers etc and see if those changes were successful in minutes, I just LOVE that about this industry!

Hi Jason...would you be available to chat offline for a few?

Well, The only guy I know is making tons of money nowdays is Mike or Pete from adultwebmasternet.com network (I dont really know his name) :D
He has the first positions on google for every single word you search for...
I was happy in 2009 and I didnt even know that :1orglaugh

joining a dating site is often times not a 'need' based decision but rather a 'want' based decision. same holds true for both men and women. it's simply a more efficient way of doing things, it just makes more sense. while at one point there was a stigma associated with those (esp. women) who join dating sites, that time has long since passed. and even when that stigma did exist, it was entirely unfounded as i can attest that there have been high quality real women on dating sites since y2k! that's fifteen years ago!

an even more effective sales pitch you can make in dating right now is that women join dating sites because they WANT to join dating sites.
appealing to wants > appealing to needs. :2 cents:
