Long Tail Dating Websites

In eBiz Weekly #28 I mentioned “long tail” social media sites, which are basically niche social media sites with a few hundred/thousand users paying a subscription.

I mentioned 3 examples of such:

• Farnam Street Learning Community —> 750 members paying $149+ per year = $111,750
• LGBTQ Chat —> 5200 members paying $200+ per year = $1,040,000
• World Future Society —> 1800 members paying $200 per year = $360,000

Turns out you have the same thing in the dating industry, only bigger.

A few examples:

• FarmersOnly —> 4.5 million members, premium accounts starting at $11/month 👨‍🌾
• CatholicMatch —> 1.5 million members, premium accounts starting at $12/month 😇
• MilitaryCupid —> 600k members, premium accounts starting at $12/month 🎖

That’s serious money.

Not that it’s easy to build one of these “long tail” businesses.

I consider them Level 3 online businesses.

Level 1 would be freelancing and remote work.

If you’re just starting out earning money online, stick with one of those.
