New dating site

I have launched a new dating site but after a couple months I still have no visitors or subscriptions. I tried google ads I spent like $20 but no subscriptions and nobody created a dating profile. How do I get paying visitors to my site?

You have strong competitors, it's hard to get good places in this industry without an advertising budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars

I have had mine for 12 years so the barrier of entry was not as tough. The one thing I did was to make it a niche type of dating site and or buy an older domain that has some good history to it not anything spammy. I personally use a Whitelabel as I don't want to bother with deleting members and payment problems so that is a choice you have to deal with as well. Lastly, some good old SEO will help just have to find keywords that are not super competitive and keep active on social media to push the site.

Do you still have it? The dating business?

me and my friend tried growing a dating app. the issue is that its so hard to bring women into the platform. we shifted our focus somewhere else. what i can suggest you is maybe implement a referral program if you can. so the marketing can be semi-automated. you can pay per paid user. You can create some parts of the website thats not directly dating, like you can add a "hot or not" section where people can post their photos and be rated by other people. You can write blog posts about dating etc.

There is a looooooot of money in this niche but the barrier to entry is so damn high.
I wish you the best of luck
