Not proud of it, but around $500/mo thanks to 3 white label dating websites. Easy money, no maintenance needed for 2 years now... Could make much more with some

Not proud of it, but around $500/mo thanks to 3 white label dating websites. Easy money, no maintenance needed for 2 years now... Could make much more with some time invested in it!

What dating niches did you come up with? Why do you say you are not proud of it?
- johnward 12y ago
  I'd imagine it's more about the stigma behind these dating sites. Fake profiles etc.

  One of my buddies a few years back was banking ~100k/mo profit with Chatroulette bots who told guys jerking off to "find me on adultfriendfinder!" That was all in affiliate revenue. At some point you have to wonder when it moves from ethically wrong, to you're an idiot if you don't do it.

    Well if the guys were willing to pay and adult friend finder were willing to give him the affiliate fees then I really can't see that it is morally wrong. I can see it being pretty awesome.

  I have targeted some very specific jobs which are usually known as "sexy". I am not proud of it because I don't think it's very ethic, I can't imagine putting this on my resume and technically the challenge is nonexistent (a simple html page with some css, few hours of marketing) Though the service is real and people don't pay for nothing, at least it's legal...

    What's unethical about this?
    - fabiendem 12y ago
      Okay ethic is not the right word. I just think that these are just 3 more website in the p0rn/dating/drugs Internet landscape, and technically very easy to do. I don't regret it, it's free money and other friends have tried the dating/porn market. One of mine was making 30k/mo via porn ads, another never made any money. It's just that I would now prefer to come up with a project which I am proud of, which can be of any help to someone, that I could talk about without wondering if the person in front of me thinks it's creepy... Soon soon :)

Are you reselling another service, doing affiliate links or running it by yourself?
- fabiendem 12y ago
  I am the affiliate, I build front-pages for a major dating website, my page is just a front-door focusing on a niche. I don't sell anything myself. I am just hosting the page which is an entry point to the main website (which I am not managing at all)

Problem with white label sites is that you still need to do a whole lot of marketing on your end. How do you compete with the big sites?
- fabiendem 12y ago
  Here is the thing, I don't compete with big sites, I target only niches so I have almost zero competitors :)
