What Do I Need To Know To Start A Site?
If you can navigate the web then you can run a dating site. It’s very easy. Below I’ve listed a few things you’ll need to do to manage your new dating site. They are very easy to do and only take a few minutes a day.
- Approve profiles (Don’t auto-approve them)
- Approve photos/Videos
- Write articles about your site/niche
- Post links back to your site from social media
- Answer emails from members. Don’t wait 24 hours. Do it asap.
Now the reason you want to approve all your content is because you’re going to get people who will want to take advantage of your site or abuse it. No dating site is immune from spammers and scammers so stop them before they can do any damage by approving what your other members will see.
Do I Need A LLC?
You don’t need a company to start a dating site. You don’t need to hire lawyers either. While we’re not attorneys we can say that you don’t need to spend money on that stuff. Not at first. Once you get going it’s a good idea to form a company around the dating site but starting out, don’t worry too much about that.
As for the terms and conditions you’ll have on your site we can’t tell you what to put in there for legal reasons. What we can say is that most of our customers get terms and conditions off the internet and change them up and make them their own. Be sure to run them by a lawyer just in case so to be clear, we can’t tell you how to do that.
You should also get a good privacy statement. We have one in the dating software and you can modify that if you wish. It’s more a blanket statement on privacy.
