My goal is to make tons of money without much cost or effort on my part, and then spend my time travelling throughout Europe and sailing the Caribbean.

LOL seems like a reasonable request....
 
Quote from NasdaqTrader:

There are lots of free sites out there I also notice. How do they make money?

It looks like I'll have to come out with something unique to be able to charge money.

Probably ads.
 
All markets are tapped out with one exception. The old perv market. There's a never ending supply of old dudes looking for some twenty something that digs older guys. Here's the skinny on how it's done.
Women join for free. You might consider visiting a few strip joints and offering a "donation" if they sign up on your site. You can give them sample ads to write, but they all go along this line. Horny young girl looking for older man. I've been bad lately so I might need a spanking.
Then sit back and let the flood gates open. The old pervs will pay and pay.
I'm too smart to have ever fallen for such a scam, but I have heard it to be true.:eek: :eek: :eek:
Seriously though, that's the only market not fully penetrated, no pun intended.:p Adult Friend Finder has been around for quite some time and has made a ton with just that scheme.

Good point, and the old pervs couldn't care less about paying 30 bucks a month or whatever..

It's hard to make a site different than others, since there are many out there. I'll see if the web designers have any good ideas.

My goal is to make tons of money without much cost or effort on my part, and then spend my time travelling throughout Europe and sailing the Caribbean. For a $7,000 investment with the opportunity to make millions, I think it's worth the risk. All I need is 230 people in the entire country to join at $30/month for 1 month and my web design cost will be paid for and I'll be even. After that, any money made is pure profit minus some chump change for the monthly web hosting fees, annual domain name registration fee, and $18 per month for a merchant account to be able to accept credit and debit cards online. If the site really took off, perhaps I may someday have 1 million members per month and I'll be earning $360 million per year. I think I'll start praying for that. Maybe God will answer my prayers.

You're a funny guy.
I think you will be successful with your idea.......in Fantasy Land. Let me know when you find it, because I also have a goal, to make a billion dollars by creating a personal blog where I talk about random musings and have a weekly special article by the tooth fairy.

I'm not asking for much, just a few easy made millions and a life of leisure and luxury.

you're better off investing the $7000 in lottery tickets. your business plan is about as thorough and realistic as an 8 year old's plan for setting up a lemonade stand.

no one is gonna pay $30/mo for a brand new site with no members.

also, my opinion is that these online dating sites are a declining or flat market. social sites like myspace and facebook have taken away much of the market share. they're free and don't have the negative stigma associated with online dating even though they are in fact online dating sites in disguise.

sorry but you're late to the party. that market is indeed penetrated (pun intended). there are all sorts of sugar daddy websites that promise to hook up hot 20-somethings with older horny guys looking for a trophy gf to make his ex-wife jealous. google it

I would start by offering a 2 or 4 week free trial. Once the site has grown pretty big, I may then consider not offering a free trial.
