I have a humble idea not tried yet in match making, no profiles, no personality tests, just one simple fact I won't disclose. I don't need money, I can do it all myself, what I need is users.
How do I get users once my MVP is ready?
Perhaps a cofounder expert in marketing is the right solution?
- downandout 11y agoIf you need users, then you do need money. The online dating app scene is insanely competitive. The last one to go naturally viral was Tinder, but the odds of duplicating that success are infinitesimal.
- Thiz 11y agoSure, money for marketing is needed, plenty of it. I meant for development, you know, funding. The odds are not infinitesimal. Matchmaking is like a fad, you can come up with ideas every year and people will flock to your site, because not all of them work. Of course you have to break the profile/test mentality and try new venues.

- volaski 11y agoYou may not want to believe it but getting users is 90% of what it takes to succeed with dating apps. It's much more severe than any other types of services out there due to the nature of what it does. To succeed you should either have: 1. a plan to succeed at getting critical mass of users; 2. a plan to make it work even with a small set of users. If your clever idea doesn't involve any of those, you will fall into the trap of what tons of other unsuccessful dating app entrepreneurs fall into
