7. ๐Ÿ’ธ Monetization and Membership Models

Decide on how you will monetize the dating site. There are several models you can choose from:

  • Freemium Model: Offer basic features for free (e.g., profile browsing, likes), but charge for premium features (e.g., unlimited messaging, advanced search, video calls).
  • Subscription Model: Charge users a recurring monthly or yearly fee for access to the full site or specific premium features.
  • In-App Purchases: Allow users to buy virtual goods such as profile boosts, โ€œsuper likes,โ€ or gifts.
  • Advertising: If you opt for a free model, you can monetize through advertising, but ensure it doesn’t negatively impact the user experience.

Tip: Offer time-limited trials or discounts to convert free users into paying subscribers.
