free business plans for a dating site- where can i get one?
Hi Crystal,
If you are going to be successful will have to do your own unique BP. Say that you were to acquire a copy of the match.com BP and decided to cut and paste to fit your idea. Even with all the cutting and pasting you would end up with a tiny match.com and that is NOT what you want. You want what you are offering to be unique in a positive way like address a demographic that no one has thought of. For instance a service for 18-wheelers. Unfortunately, this would appear to be a scam for an "escort service".
The popularity of on-line dating is DECLINING BIG TIME because of all the abuses. I actually had an on-line date with a woman that posted a picture of her younger sister and you have heard the horror stories about the "perves",
So unless your really have a unique idea I think that you are wasting your time no matter how you "spin" it with a BP.
Unless you have a couple million for search placement and advertising no one will be able to find you and that is a BIG thing think for potential investors.
Here is a little true experience for you to consider.
I put up an on-line catalog in the BEGINNING when amazon and ebay were just starting. I had also written many new product proposals and a few BPs.
I had several interested investors but they wanted so sell at a loss to generate hits and volume and sell advertising etc.
My plan was to sell at a PROFIT with none of the other foolishness that buried buy.com and the rest of them that tanked. I also refused to sell my soul to the IB sharks.
The business worked for two years with a few people working until 3-4AM because we all had a regular job during the day.
If you want to get a taste of an internet business for a little money, try selling selling some stuff on Ebay.
The BLUNT truth is that NOBODY is going to give you a few million for on-line dating no matter how you spin the BP.
I also have no idea what level of experience you have with OLDing, but if you do not have an EXCELLENT Executive team with a TON of experience with OLDing it just is NOT going to happen.
If this is a school assignment you will learn NOTHING in the process and defeat the purpose of the class.
Just as a side note, I did sales and marketing consulting, got $200 and hour and called my own hours.
Good Luck,
Jacques
