Many people are turning to various social networking sites to meet new people. The profitability of running one of these sites has great potential. For E-Comm Entrepreneurs, a perfect idea would be to start up your own site for the online dating community.
If you are interested in following the traffic that many of these websites attract, a website entitled www.alexa.com is a perfect tool to observe these trends. Websites like Plentyoffish.com, Lavalife.com, and Eharmony.ca are perfect examples of how this trend is increasing in popularity.
Website traffic:
- Plenty of Fish – Up 13.7% over a 3 month period
- Lavalife – Up 8% over a 3 month period
- EHarmony Canada – Up 40% over a 3 month period
It is evident that by this traffic, this trend will continue to increase. When setting up your online dating website, keep in mind that originality is essential. For example, E-Harmony offers a psychological test to determine which matches you will be most suitable for. This aspect differentiates them from their competitors. Your website must have an original edge to it, in order to be considered as competition in the online dating market.
Personally, I see this trend increasing over the next few years, because more people are valuing their time and online dating offers the individual the choice of who he or she wants to date. As more people move to the online community, look for significant advances in this world of online dating!
You might even find that special someone when setting up that website ;)
