2007-02-16 15:54:08
People who run their own business are usually very busy and they don't have time to rest. This also conserns Online Dating Business owners because they are able to work from everywhere. Usually they need only a phone and a laptop. But they do need to go on holiday sometimes. To help small business owners make the most of their business travel, Winston partnered with Office Depot offers these tips for organizing your busy travel schedule: * Ban Briefcase Build-Up: Your briefcase should be a mode of transport, not a long-term storage facility. To help keep your briefcase or tote clutter-free, get into the habit of keeping your briefcase open by your desk to receive nightly "homework," such as papers to read and documents to edit.

Is it time to go out to Asian markets?
2007-02-15 21:53:01
SHANGHAI -Top U.S. online matchmakers - among them popular eHarmony and Match.com -- are hoping to hook up with Chinese partners to promote Web dating services, in an effort to explore new profit streams in emerging markets.

Safety Online - Make your own Tips!
2007-02-09 21:48:02
Safety is still the point when we speak about Dating Online . Every Dating Site Administrator tries to create a safe space for their users. Usually when creating something new we study the market and learn the experience. Carol Feineman, Colfax Record Editor, notes some safety tips that eHarmony offers to their members. They are numerous and usual. I only have one question: if a person fulfills all those recommendations, how would he or she communicate?! I'm sure that when we meet a person for the first time we try to get his or her personal data (age, likes, address), something that could unite us. Besides, personal info is the thing that helps us to maintain conversation when there's nothing to say. And at last personal info creates a bond between people. => Read more!

The internet is the matchmaker of our time
2007-02-08 09:46:02
"The internet is the matchmaker of our time," said Steve Levine, Senior Vice President and Head of Technology Telecom for Synovate in North Latin America. "As it continues to grow, and becomes even more integrated in our lives, we should expect to see more people trying online dating." And millions of people all over the world have really tried Online Dating at least once. As a result so many people dating online produced a lot of lies and preconceptions that it's difficult to differenciate now who is who. A question came into my mind: What do people lie about usually? A new study says online daters, both men and women, usually lie about either their height or weight, and sometimes their age. The study revealed that men systematically overestimated their height, while women more commonly underestimated their weight, said Jeffrey Hancock, an assistant professor of communication at Cornell University and the lead author on this study. => Read more!

Four Free Dating Sites for you. How that all started!
2007-02-07 09:46:01
Throughout the history of man, there have always been elements that were firmly embedded in the social structure and one of them is the need to interact with one another. More than that, the need to establish relationships has always been an important factor in human lives. Even thinkers and philosophers have clearly established theories that attest to this fact. Sociologist Abraham Maslow even came up with a hierarchy of needs that all humans, regardless of race or creed, follow – more unconsciously than consciously. In this hierarchy of needs, we will find that the need to belong and to be loved is one of the most important things that human beings seek out. Thus, it comes as no surprise that since time immemorial, the seeking out of human company has been high in the priorities of men and women all over the world. => Read more!

16 Things That Took 50 Years To Learn!
2007-02-07 09:46:01
See below the life principles that may help you go on with your Dating Business even if everything crashes around you. I find them very optimistic and sometimes funny. It's a joke posted at AskMen.com by Tim G. So probably it'll make you smile and think one and the same time. Here we go: 1- You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-savings time. 2- You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 3- The most powerful force in the universe is gossip. 4- The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers. => Read more!

Destroy The Stigma Of Personal Development
2007-02-03 21:43:02
Author: Andrew Schultz Have you ever walked by the self help section of the book store and see that one lonely looking guy who is trying to find the book to help him change it all? What did you think of him? Did you attach a stigma to him because he was in the self help section? In this country (United States), the vast majority of the population looks at personal development as a bad thing. Why? The very concept that you can pick up a book that may somehow help you change yourself to be more efficient, a harder worker, more profitable, and more successful is exciting! Being able to draw from the knowledge of other people on any topic is an amazing concept, and one that we should be embracing readily. => Read more!

New research and Network in Dating Business.
2007-01-30 21:38:01
According to a reasearch on marriage views published by Sam Roberts more American women are living without a husband than with one, for what experts say is the first time, according to a new analysis of the United States census results. In 2005, 51 per cent of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35 per cent in 1950 and 49 per cent in 2000. Several factors are driving the statistical shift which was picked up in research from the New York Times. At one end of the age spectrum, women are marrying later or living with unmarried partners more often and for longer periods of time. At the other end, women are living longer as widows and, after a divorce, are more likely than men to delay remarriage, sometimes delighting in their newfound freedom. In addition, marriage rates among black women remain low. About 30 per cent of black women are living with a spouse, according to the Census Bureau, compared to about 49 per cent of Hispanic women, 55 per cent of non-Hispanic...

User Profile and Matches, any connection?
2007-01-30 03:36:04
Writing a profile is not an easy thing and nowadays many sources dispute on what should be in a profile to attract people. That's really difficult to tell I should say. Though there are still some points of view that we can stand. The first is that user generated original profile is the best personality presentation he can get. The second is that all profiles should be pre-written and approved by the Dating Site Admin to increase the possibility of a match. Third is something in between that includes user generated content and profile corrections upon user request. All the three have a rational item. When a user completes a profile he does his best (usually) to show his qualities. But what to do if the his skills are not enough? In this case they have 2 options: have no matches at all or get a professional help. Here's how we come to the next point of view. Some experts note that professional help is always needed even if the profile is filled in perfectly. There are still some ...

Promote your Dating Site with Google Maps!
2007-01-26 15:33:04
Dating Site Owners are trying new ways to advertise and promote their Sites. Of course they use such common methods like submit into thematic catalogues and SEO optimization. People try to use any source to attract visitors to their Dating Sites. So as a result a new action took place in Moore Park where Michael and Jodie Fox began setting up their elaborate attempt to put themselves on Google 's maps. The idea was to make the installation of the Dating Site where they have met and then make google maps ping the place so that other users of this service could find them. As for me I like the idea and it seems very creative. What they did was wearing their wedding outfits, the pair stretched out in front of their sign - "We Met on Darwin Dating. PS: We're Hot" - that was painted on big red sheets of cloth. => Read more!

Find your Dating Ad on a Milk Bottle!
2007-01-26 15:33:04
A group of lonely heart farmers have put their photographs on milk bottles in an attempt to find love. Five single dairy farmers are advertising on Calon Wen milk with the slogan Fancy a Farmer to mark St Dwynwen's Day, the Welsh St Valentine. The idea came from Calon Wen director and single farmer Iwan Jones, from Groes, near Denbigh - one of five farmers whose picture is featured. Mr Jones said the countryside could be "a hard place to find a date". The 30-year-old said he came up with the idea for the rural matchmaking venture after realising a large number of Welsh farmers were single. He said: "Calon Wen was founded to support family farmers but a quarter of our members are single, which was becoming a bit of a joke. We want to encourage farmers to consider online dating as a fun way of meeting people." The project is jointly run with online dating agency Pishyn (Welsh slang for gorgeous) where people who log on can find out more details about the farmers involved. On hi...

Online Dating Business always starts as a small venture that can grow into a big one. This type of business can be a family business and it'll be a good basis to start up.

Plus, over 60 percent of the U.S. workforce works for a family business." She also mentiones Seven short leadership lessons from Edward Hess presented in his last book "The Successful Family Business: A Proactive Plan for Managing the Family and the Business". For me the most important one is: The fundamental overriding principles of managing a multi-generational family business are: a) Transparency, b) Inclusiveness, c) Consistency, d) Fairness => Read more!

Today I've read a story about Julie Morgenstern on how she's started her business and succeeded. I wanted to share this article with you as it's very informative and teaching. The story says that she started her organizational services business 10 years ago, she had one burning question: "How much do I charge?" Consultants advised her to find out her most expensive competitor's rates and charge $10 more per hour. Morgenstern had serious doubts about following that advice. While initially hesitant about setting such a high price, she soon realized that most consumers (herself included) respond to a "designer price-tag mentality" — the notion that the more expensive a product or service is, the better it must be. => Read more!
