How I was going to do it:
I have 5 dating websites.
2 mainstream sites - older people (like senior friend finder) and Christian.
2 sites for men who like to dress as women
1 for gay hookups
which one would you focus on, or would you focus on promoting all 5?
what would you do to promote them and get them off the ground?
I know you started from nothing and worked your tail off to build an empire and I want to do the same. I dont know *exactly* how to spend my 10 hours a day building my empire
I also have $5k in savings I can use to start promoting and get things moving quicker.
Or I could do something besides dating, but I *really* want to hit 100k by the end of 2014 and get my life back on track.
I have no distractions and can work 16 hour days if I need to. this is more important to me than friends or anything to distract me.
Thanks Shap!  |
Hi Clay.
Alright so first question for you. Why do you have 5 sites planned? Of all niches and all sites which do you identify with the most? Which do you think you understand best?
My background is building products that I feel deliver quality to the end user. I know a lot of dating $$$ is based on smoke and mirrors approach if that is the angle you are taking I can't really comment on that.
Based on your niches listed I get the feeling you are trying a machine gun approach and hoping one of them hits. The problem I fear you may run into is how will you translate what you learned from a successful mature christian dating site to a gay hookup site. The two have very little if anything in common. I don't think one product would work for both. You will have to cater to each market and those in particular are very very different.
Also when you say you are in a bad spot is 100k a must by december? Or can you make say 20k by decemeber 2014 with things set up to make 200k december 2015?
My best advice is to find one thing you believe you understand really well. Something you GET and try to build on that. Be smart with the money you have. I get the feeling you probably don't want to blow that.
Btw if you have skill and talent and you have 16 hours a day at your disposal maybe look to work for someone. Align yourself with someone or a company that you think you can help (and in return maybe they have something that can help you). That way if half of your time is spent earning guaranteed $$$ then the other half you work on building your empire. That way if empire doesn't work out in 2014 you still have the $$$ from the salary. If empire takes off you can quit the job. Could be win win
