White Label Dating Analysis

Posted on December 4, 2008

Whitelabeldating worlddatingpartners loga MAKING A MILLION — Dec 3 — I've used a few (white label dating) systems to run my own brands on, but most recently whitelabeldating.com and worlddatingpartners.com. I have run enough volumes, over long enough periods to produce what I consider reasonable data sets. Key Performance Indicator 1 – Rollover commission: The % of previous months commission from sales that has rolled over in to recurring commission this month. KPI 2 – 3 mth Recurring. The % of commission from sales 3 months ago, that has rolled over in to recurring commission this month.

White Label Dating First 4 Months
Rollover Commission = 72.3%
3mth Recurring = 29.3%

World Dating Partners First 4 months, Best, Last 4 months
Rollover Commission = 27.2%, 55.7%, 44.1%
3mth Recurring = 1.21%, 15.5%, 13.2%

1) with 50% rollover commission, £1000 earned commission in month 1, 6 months later this will have earned a total of £1985.
2) with 75% rollover commission, £1000 earned commission in month 1, 6 months later this will have earned a total of £3466.

This means over 6 months you'll earn 75% MORE with a rollover conversion of 75% instead of 50%. Over 12 months that's 95% more you'll earn.  The rollover % is MASSIVELY important on any residual income you generate, forget conversion rates!

Ignighter: Group Dating

Posted on December 4, 2008

Ignighter logo THE INQUIRER — Dec 3 — Blind dates can be scary, matchmakers are costly, and speed dating requires nerves of steel. On Dating sites people often misrepresent themselves in their personal profiles. Yet group dating, participants say, demands that you be yourself. "Your friends keep you honest," said Adam Sachs, CEO of Ignighter.com, a Web site that promotes group-to-group dating. On this site, a group of friends create one profile – and from there, groups are matched with other groups. Other Web sites that promote group dates include Teamdating.com and Iamfreetonight.com.

The full article was originally published at The Philadelphia Inquirer, but is no longer available.

Mark Brooks: Great concept, but do groups of friends really want to date together?

MySpace Ruling Could Lead To Jail For Lying Online Daters

Posted on December 4, 2008

Paragraph symbol
CNET NEWS — Dec 1 — The
MySpace suicide case concluded last week, with the jury finding Lori
Drew guilty of three misdemeanor counts of gaining unauthorized access
to MySpace. Web site terms of
service, which end users universally ignore, suddenly have teeth:
violating them is a federal hacking offense, punishable with jail time.
The days of being able to freely lie on the Web could be coming to an
end.
This could mean serious trouble for people who lie about their
age, weight, or marital status in their online dating profiles. All those people who have lied about their age or weight in an
eHarmony profile would now appear to be computer hackers. And if
you gain 30 pounds after posting your profile and don't promptly update
your profile–yep, jail for you. FULL ARTICLE @ CNET NEWS

Looking For Love In Vietnam

Posted on December 2, 2008

Vietnamese girl with cellphne
CNET NEWS — Dec 2 — In Vietnam there are no dating services and young people still mostly meet the traditional way–through
friends, school, family and work. Those who do meet online most
often become friends through blogging, forums, or online social
activities. Unlike in the States, where couples tend to move in
together, people in Vietnam generally only live together once married.
In between, they rely on cell phones and the Internet to stay close. FULL ARTICLE @ CNET NEWS

Posted on December 2, 2008

Therightone togetherdating loga PRESS RELEASE — Dec 1 — Despite consumers' fall in discretionary income, the demand for professional matchmaking remains the same. People view dating as a necessity and traditional brick and mortar dating services continue to grow. 'When times get tough, it helps to have someone there for you. That's why we haven't experienced a drop in membership,' explained Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating. Singles are using less cash and going out on more creative, yet inexpensive, dates.
