I received a cheque / check today for £16.41 (about $32) from DIY Dating, the company behind them is Leamore Internet Limited. I thought, therefore, that today I'd enlarge a little on this money making opportunity.The company is based in the UK but the opportunity is worldwide and payments can be made in various currencies.
As you can see from my last Money Making Weekly Report this hasn't been one of my biggest earners but, there again, I haven't promoted it very much either.
What I can say is that, to date, I have found them to be efficient and payments have been made to me on time.
So what's it all about?
Well dating, obviously. The difference between this and many others, such as the FriendFinderGroup for example, is that DIY Dating set you up with your own free website using whatever name you choose.
This way you have the worldwide database of the company to offer prospective customers. You can also choose the niche that you want - romance, adult, gay etc and tailor your website and database to match this. There is a choice of website designs.
Like most dating and contact sites your prospects can join for free and publish their profile. It's when these people upgrade, for more benefits, that you make your commission, which is set at 50%.
How Much Can You Make?
The sky is the limit. That's the glib, easy answer but as usual it depends on the amount of traffic you can generate to your DIY site.
There are various price plans that you can select for your clients. I've chosen what they call 'Plan 1'. When clients upgrade from their free membership they pay the following - remember I (you) then get 50% of this.
£09.95 - 1 Month membership.
£14.95 - 2 Months
£19.95 - 3 Months
£29.95 - 6 Months
£49.95 - 12 Months
I have shown the costs in UK Pounds but payments can also be made in US Dollars or European Euros. At the present time £1 is equal to approximately US$1.95 and 1.41 euros.
Any other ways to make money with DIY?
Yes, two ways.
Firstly you can advertise on your DIY site for partners. Anyone who signs up for this gets 10% of any upgrades they introduce - and you still make your 50%.
And secondly you can introduce affiliates - who create their own DIY sites - and you get 10% on each upgrade they generate - for life. If this was done systematically, over time, decent money could be made. I'm sure you can work out a few statistics possible.
Summary.
Dating and contacts are worldwide products and therefore suitable for all sorts of traffic. This sector is probably one of the biggest on the Internet. There is, therefore, potential to make money.As I have said, to date DIY have paid out on time and I can't really find many negatives - perhaps their promotional ads could be improved. I don't like the flashing ad on the right, for example.
If you can get the traffic to your DIY website you can make money, a percentage of free memberships will always upgrade.
That's DIY!
Good luck,
Mike.

P.S. Sorry, but I can't resist it! It's that Charley Uchea from the UK Big Brother program that I have been going on about at the end of posts. The thing is that Charley Uchea has now been photoraphed in the BB house swimming topless. As this sort of thing appears to interest a section of the UK public, mostly males, these photos can be seen by clicking here. I'm sure you won't, of course!
