Traditionally throughout time since the dawn of mankind, relationships, sex, love and marriage have been a big part of life and health, both physically and emotionally.

The purpose for me writing this article about why a Webmaster should consider promoting online dating services is because I wanted to attempt to open those Webmasters’ eyes, who are not currently doing so, to a large earning potential that they could be missing out on.

Any Webmaster wishing to earn a fairly decent living online (for those new Webmasters), or any seasoned Webmasters wishing to greatly enhance the income they generate from the Internet presently should seriously consider promoting an online dating service.

Experienced Webmasters know that online dating is the hot ticket item right now and has been since about early 1994.Traditionally throughout time since the dawn of mankind, relationships, sex, love and marriage have been a big part of life and health, both physically and emotionally.

Experienced Webmasters know that online dating is the hot ticket item right now and has been since about early 1994. You see dating services and their affiliate programs everywhere you go on the Internet today. Some of the big dating services have even been showing up in late night commercial ads on television. The problem with Webmasters promoting the bigger dating services is that they have completely saturated the matchmaking market and already have very large Webmaster affiliate databases, and in turn this makes it very hard to make substantial income promoting them.

Many straight and gay surfers that I have talked to lately that use the larger dating services have told me that many of the member “profiles” they claim to have, never seem to bring them many replies which tells me that even though the larger matchmaking sites claim to have hundreds of thousands of profiles to choose from, in essence, most of those are either fake or non-existent. And the trend I am noticing these days is that surfers have begun turning to the growing smaller matchmaking sites to find love. So the point I am trying to make is that more and more Webmasters are beginning to see that promoting the smaller dating affiliate programs can and will be a lucrative way to generate good revenue streams for many years to come as these programs blossom.

Promoting Gay And Bi-Sexual Dating Programs Vs. Mainstream Dating programs

Please do not have the misconception that because you are a straight Webmaster that you can only promote a straight online dating service. Very much to the contrary. I personally know many gay Webmasters that heavily promote straight dating services and many straight Webmasters that actively promote gay dating services. Times today are much different than they were back in the early days of the Internet. Sexual orientation today is not so much of a factor as it used to be when it comes down to revenue streams.

Many straight Webmasters are seeing the high earnings potential available to them when promoting a gay dating service. And let’s not forget about the HUGE virtually untapped bi-curious and bi-sexual market. More and more Webmasters are starting to realize that there is great potential in these markets also. Which in turn, opens up other extra revenue streams. For example, a Webmaster may cross-promote on one single HTML page of gay and bi-sexual men’s sites with man-to-man content as well as man-to-woman content.

Sex sells. It traditionally sells especially well on gay and bi-sexual oriented sites. Oscardate.com’s affiliate program for example is in the business of selling long lasting relationships to the gay, bi-curious and bi-sexual markets. A very clean and professional affiliate program.

While dozens of recent studies will tell you that the gay surfer audience is the most loyal, affluent, highest spending and trend-savvy (which are all true), I would only like to emphasize one thing: all of the same studies found that gay shoppers spent the largest chunk of their money on dating and dating-related products and services. Here are the numbers to back it up…

Gay Vs. Mainstream Consumers

· Over twice as likely as the national index to be professionals/managers.

· Twice as likely to have household income over $60K.

· Twice as likely to have household income over $250K.

· Twice as likely to have graduated from college.

· 96% do not have children in the household therefore freeing up much of their income to afford the “finer” things in life.

· 65% identify themselves as having to have the “latest”.

· 68% upgrade to a product’s latest model.

· 77% believe in “indulging in themselves”.

· 57% prefer to buy “top of the line”.

· 59% buy themselves “whatever they want”.

Other affiliate programs try to make it look like they are offering the most, by offering inflated commission rates and renewal payments. Oscardate.com’s affiliate program offers the winning combination of generous commissions and strong conversion rates, and even their bottom level beats the competition hands down. They keep their affiliate base small so they can work with all of the affiliates individually, unlike the larger programs. I have spoken with a many gay Webmaster friends of mine who have told me that they have had bad customer service experiences with one of the larger gay matchmaking affiliate programs, which will remain nameless here.

In closing I would like to bring just a few simple facts to your attention:

1. Online personal services are among the fastest growing businesses on the Internet today.

2. 96% of Webmaster affiliates promoting a gay dating service generated sales last month.

3. Top ten Webmaster affiliates promoting a gay dating service out earn those of our leading competitor by a ratio of 2:1.

Oscardate.com’s affiliate program brings gay, bi-curious and bi-sexual men together. They welcome all single gay adult males seeking one-to-one relationships ranging from companionship to friendship, romance to marriage. The sole purpose is to use a fun, secure online environment to provide the members with fast, relevant and lasting results. What could be more rewarding than fulfilling the needs of today’s single men who are searching for convenient and effective ways to meet other quality men?
