| Business Model |
| A typical business model for a dating site would be to charge for contacting other people. For example by first letting members upgrade their account to a paid membership. Another approach can be to charge for each private message sent, e-mail address requested or sending of a "flirt" message. For social networks another approach has to be chosen, as there is a lot of competition from free networks. However, it can be a great idea to give extra privileges to paying members. For example: more storage space for their photo albums, access to certain restricted parts of the website, incentives like discount coupons for websites/stores the community partners with. |
