As long as there has been internet… there has been online. With the amount of promotion online dating offers get, you would think they convert poorly and there is no money to be made. Fortunately, it’s the complete opposite! With such a demand for online dating, new networks are popping up every month, and all of the older networks still need to compete. What this means for you, is more money!

Let’s take a look at the dating offers listed at DatingLoot.com and how each site caters to the users and how you can profit from them.

The Classic Dating Offers
Whenever you are testing out general traffic from a new source, it’s always a safe bet to go with a successful veteran offer. You should already have tested and proven numbers to back up these campaigns. A few “classic” offers in online dating are True, SinglesNet, Mate1 and AmericanSingles. Most of the well known established dating sites will pay in the $3 range… with the ability to go much higher on volume. These three offers are continually a top performer across all affiliate networks.

Risque Offers
It’s no surprise that the more “adultish” an offer gets, the more attention and usually the more conversions it will pull. Outside of being claimed “pornography“, there are a few dating networks that push the envelope, while still occassionally managing to get approved slipped by on some social networks and banner placements. AdultFriendFinder.com, which has over 300,000 members, is the leader in adult online dating. Two other options for “risque” online dating offers are AmateurMatch and Passion.com (a branch off AFF). These offers usually start paying in the $2.50+ to $5 range for new signups. The success of most of these adult networks, is showing thumbnails of actual members and listing them as “Girls in Your Area“.

Targeted Dating Offers
As long as their are huge dating networks, there will also be smaller ones to cater to special interests, race and sexual orientation. ChristianMingle has been an extremely lucrative offer for affiliates advertising on Facebook, earning them over $3 per lead. Date.ca is a great example of how to geo-target your ad campaigns, as it’s catered specifically for people living in Canada. Other niche specific dating networks include BlackSingles and BBWPersonals. Many networks will create custom mini-sites or landing pages to improve user conversions. ChristianMingle and BlackSingles are both seen as two different networks, but owned by the same parent company.

VH1’s Pick Up Artist: MYSTERY
It’s no surprise that this guy is finally into affiliate marketing. After making several appearances at Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas, it’s only natural for him to take advantage of the power the internet. As for if his offer actually makes money… it’s a “mystery!”.

If you do a quick search on Google for “pick up artist affiliate program“, you can see several sites already playing off the success of his name. This is the first time I’ve seen one of his actual products/affiliate offer. Mystery’s “Revelation” book bundles pays out a $60 commission on a $97 now ($47 later) billing. With some simple targeting, you can easily put this offer in the face of users who are “interested” in “the pickup artist“. 😛

This was a quick run down of the different ways dating networks are catering their business to different markets and allowing for promotion from affiliates. Next week I will release another article on dating offers and how you can easily start profiting from running a few campaigns.
