I posted some ads on Gumtree & Kijiji, 'Seeking reviews of online dating sites' - I received loads of feedback - mostly from men and mostly negative, which is disappointing but informative. One in particular was very helpful, which has brought me onto another site-plan:
Jackie's blog posts will be backdated to begin in January '08 - new year, new life etc etc
In February she will date a guy that she has a lot of fun with but no 'spark'
They keep in touch, become good friends and in June, the guy starts contributing to the site from a male perspective.
So I've decided to split the site into 4 sections. The main blog section of Jackie's pursuit into online dating. The male blog perspective of online dating which will feature more stories than daily updates. An article section relating to online dating (safety etc) and then plain old site reviews, based on Jackie's findings along the way.
I'm happy writing the articles & basic site reviews based on info from other websites but as I have no wish to try out internet dating myself, I've decided to recruit a blogger for that part. I've advertised on Craigslist and Getafreelancer and have already had a few applicants. I'm also advertising for someone to be the face of the site because I'm not happy with using flickr images or photoshopped.
Once the site is looking half decent and filled with affiliate links I will build a blog farm using datapresser to support it. I am so impressed with datapresser and once I get the hang of writing madlibs I think it will be an amazing tool.
Question for you; one blogger applicant sounds quite promising but would like to write from a polyamorous point of view (I'd never heard this word before!) basically she has a fiance of 9 years but they both date other people through the internet. Do you think this would work for this site or should I stick with a single girl seeking single guys?
