In a previous article we discussed the success of the multi-billion dollar online dating industry. While a mixture of old and new big names including Zoosk.com, Match.com, and OurTime.com top the list for 2015 and comprise a little over 45% of the market share, smaller startup companies have ample opportunities to benefit from the growth of this niche industry. We also discussed the bright future of online dating enterprises as services available with the click of a mouse on any desktop are becoming even more convenient as mobile applications extend the availability of these services to anyone who has the appropriate handheld device. The ample opportunities in and bright future of the online dating industry indicate there will never be a better time to establish a successful online dating enterprise. The only task required to find the same success which has been enjoyed by others is to employ the same effective practices. The following guidelines for dating business startups should be considered key notes in becoming successful in the online dating business. 1.) Keep your website clean. Consistently monitoring the content, images, and profiles associated with your business online is an overwhelming, yet necessary task. People notice negative text and images, which can all too easily become associated with your brand. A clean website allows you to choose the messages your visitors will receive. 2.) Acquire low cost content, image, and profile moderation. Maintaining a clean website requires constant moderation of user-generated content. Cost saving content and image moderation, and low cost profile screening are necessary to stay on top of these daunting but essential tasks while effectively watching your bottom line. 3.) Distinguish between genuine users and fake accounts. Bringing your genuine clients the premium services which they expect includes barring access to fake accounts that seek to hijack your message and annoy and exploit your customer base. 4.) Detect and Eliminate Scammers and Spammers. Unsolicited and unwanted advertisements (spam) are messages you do not want your customers to encounter when visiting your web space. Even more undesirable are the malicious fishing scams which seek to acquire the personal information of your clients to use for nefarious purposes. Preventing, detecting, and eliminating unwanted messages are vital tasks for any business with an online presence. 5.) Obtain cost saving moderation—instantaneous moderation (24*7). Hiring moderation experts will reduce overhead costs and save you time to focus your attention on other aspects of your business. Additional time commitments and costs can be eliminated by outsourcing much of the back office work that ties up your employees and dampens creativity and productivity. Instantaneous moderation, available 24/7, provides a level of service which simply cannot be duplicated in-house.
