Do Free Dating Sites Pay? -
Singles Dating and Chat Tips
by Matt F
Why is it that singles pay for online dating
services and chat rooms when there are 100% free dating sites available?
Free online dating services and chat rooms.
One of the first and easily the most successful
free online dating sites ever established is plentyoffish.com The owner
Markus Frind is an entrepreneur from Canada. His free online dating site
boasts one of the biggest in the world with around 8 million members and
45 million visitors per month. Marcus has mainly run his free online dating
service from his house on his own up until now. This will soon change with
around 25 employees set to begin. Marcus is currently the largest ever
single Adsense earner making an incredible 10k per day. But like any great
idea, this concept has been duplicated many times and the free online chat
dating industry now has just as many competitors as the paid industry.
If you have ever wondered how they can
give their services away and still make a dollar, its pretty simple. These
webmasters make their money from advertising. So when more members join
up the greater the potential there is for them to make money.
Singles who are looking around to choose
which free dating site catches their attention will notice that many of
the free online dating services have all the up to date features that the
paid sites have - You have ever stopped to think why singles keep paying
for dating sites? Some free dating sites provide Instant messenger, web
cam chat, video feature, private chat rooms and general chat rooms. In
fact you would be pushed to find a paid dating and chat service that can
offer better features than many free sites offer.
These days when you hear something is free
normally there is a catch involved. No, they are just that,free no catch,
just register, join, browse/meet and chat to singles all for free. Whilst
alot of the free online dating sites have state of the art features, and
the webmasters who create them think its a good idea at the time, there
is a big over supply of free online dating services so most have a small
data base. Sure its fantastic something is free but without many singles
to choose from its really no help. The search engines have pages and pages
of paid and free dating services but only a small number of them are successful.
The race to reach the top of the search engines sees many free dating site
owners fighting a losing battle.
There are certainly some great free dating
and chat sites out there that do in fact have decent numbers in terms of
their data base so spend an hour or two searching them out to locate one
that stacks up.
Paid online dating services.
The big question is why do paid dating
sites continue to see growth when there are free dating services hungry
for your membership?
The free online dating method has not been
around for as long as the paid method. As with many competitive industries
the most successful players - like Marcus from plentyoffish have the talent
to come up with new ideas to divert away from the main stream market. It
boils down to first in best dressed.
The more established dating sites who were
one of the first in the race seems to be where most singles eventually
end up heading for, paid or free is basically irrelevant. The established
dating services have massive member numbers. Many singles are searching
the free dating sites and are usually disappointed with the lack of members
and end up paying a subscription on one of the more well known dating sites.
Subscription methods vary. Some dating sites sell monthly subscriptions
and the average is around $25.00 a month. Others sell their memberships
on a stamp or credit method where by you are charged each time you initiate
contact with another member. The monthly payment concept works out alot
cheaper so if you have no joy finding a decent free online dating site
search for an established paid dating site that offers a competitive monthly
rate.
Look around and you will soon find what
your looking for.
