WhiteLabelDating.com platform now supporting multi-currency payment

Posted by Natalie Woods on Friday, 28 November 2008 2:29 PM

We are very pleased to announce that all sites running on the WLD platform are now able to support subscription payments in many major currencies from around the world.

This is great news for our partners as it means that a site can be created for any of the countries currently supported by the WLD platform and all subscriptions will not only be charged in the localised currency, but will appear on the member’s bank statement in this format.

Currencies supported by WLD currently include US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, South African Rand, Australian Dollars and Euros (Ireland) with other currencies due to follow in the New Year.

If you are interested in setting up your own international dating site, get in touch with your Partner Account Manager and they will provide you with any further information you require.

Launching a site is a dream with WLD

Posted by Natalie Woods on Thursday, 27 November 2008 6:05 PM

We are very pleased to welcome Jonathan Barton as a brand new partner to WhiteLabelDating.com.

Jonathan first met the WLD team at the Ad-Tech Digital Marketing Event held earlier this year. Already the owner of a successful McDonald’s franchise, Jonathan saw a fantastic opportunity to try his hand at owning an online business also.

When creating an idea for his new dating website, Jonathan wanted to steer clear of the ‘new age relationship’ sites, instead creating a very love focused, traditional dating service.

With the help of WLD and his assigned account manager, Jonathan has now launched MyDreamDate.co.uk, deciding to target 18-35 year olds.

From this, he also saw the opportunity to extend his business into the casual market and has now launched MyNaughtyDate.co.uk.

 

The analytics speak for themselves

Posted by Natalie Woods on Wednesday, 19 November 2008 6:28 PM

We cannot stress enough how vital it is to have a well thought out marketing plan in place for your site. Afterall, those valuable members cannot join your site if they don’t know it exists!!

Teamed with some great PR, your site really can excel, and the proof speaks for itself. We recently got a fantastic mention for one of the sites on our gay network, TheGayExchange.co.uk on OnlinePersonalsWatch.com, the place to go for the most up to date dating industry news. Since then, unique visits to TheGayExchange.co.uk have increased by 100% and have remained consistent.

If you would like to get your marketing campaign up and running, get in touch with your Account Manager who will be able to advise you on the best course of action to construct a campaign tailored specifically to your needs.

Let WLD help you to monetise your online empire

Posted by Natalie Woods on Tuesday, 18 November 2008 2:50 PM

Steve Harriss launched A1Chat-Rooms.com as a free service a few years ago when online communities were really beginning to explode onto the internet. Although he managed to build his database up to 90,000 members, the day to day running of the site was becoming too much of a drain on his personal life.

He wanted a service that could take care of all the backend running of his site and within a week of getting in touch with WhiteLabelDating.com, A1Chat-Rooms.com was up and running on the WLD network. Best of all, it was now making Steve money.

“I have run A1Chat-Rooms.com for 8 years now and the sites popularity has outstripped my ability to run it with the necessary degree of quality it deserves. Also the site had traditionally been a free service which I had tried to monetise with varying degrees of success. After starting a new job I realised I no longer had the time to manage the site and looked for an alternative solution. WhiteLabelDating was an obvious choice with their growing reputation for offering an excellent managed white label solution.

On first contact I realised I had made the right decision. My account manager Scott has been an incredible support in every aspect of switching the site to the WhiteLabelDating structure. The communication with White Label has been excellent, with Scott showing just as much excitement as me when we started to convert members. I have used other white label solutions in the past but none of them come anywhere near the sort of support and quality you get from WhiteLabelDating. The money is starting to roll in and I’m already starting to migrate other sites to WLD.”

Steve has now also transferred two of his other sites, Desperate-Housewife.net, and SingleMums.org onto the WLD platform. Although they have only been a part of the WLD database for a week, they are already far exceeding Steve’s expectations, and he has not looked back!

WLD Partner succeeds in the credit crunch according to CNN.com

We’re very pleased to see our partner Steve Moylan featured on CNN talking about the growth of his dating site, PlentyMoreFish.com which he moved across to WhiteLabelDating.com this year.

Since moving onto our platform, Steve has seen revenue increase 30% growth month on month for the last three months according to the interview on CNN.com:

Work in Online Dating? We’re growing fast, profitable and recruiting

Posted by Ross Williams on Tuesday, 4 November 2008 10:19 PM

A lot of online dating companies are suffering at the moment - and we’re one of the main reasons why!!

WhiteLabelDating.com has grown over the last two years to become one of the largest online dating companies in the UK - over 45 staff and counting - and we’re still growing strong, taking market share away from established players like Allegran.

We haven’t updated our jobs page yet as we’ve got a new careers section coming for our new site (launching in a few weeks) but in the meantime if you’ve got experience in online dating we’d like to talk.

Check out the staff videos on our homepage to find out what it’s like working here and then send us your CV with a covering email to:

We look forward to hearing from you!!

WLD Partner describes why WLD is better than the competition

Posted by Ross Williams on Monday, 3 November 2008 9:14 AM

Entrepreneur Tim Rees describes in his blog how WLD is significantly better than the competition:

“Having a family, house, mortgage and now employees the reality was Tim had an immediate need to replace and increase his income. Some sites which had been running for years were relaunched on whitelabeldating.com. These sites had been earning money for years with little involvement or maintenance from Tim, but over the past 12 months sales had began to slow. Just 2 months after the relaunches the income from these sites alone looks to be more than the combined income of all his sites and salary before.”

Not bad - especially considering Tim decided to use WLD for his own sites even though he had worked for the competition!! :)

November Newsletter from WhiteLabelDating.com

Posted by Natalie Woods on Monday, 3 November 2008 9:00 AM

Dear Partner,

In a month that has seen much doom and gloom, we’re pleased to report that October 2008 has been the best month ever for partners, with some partners now approaching the magical £100k/month revenue target.

If you’re not running a site yet with WhiteLabelDating.com, there’s still time to get on board and join the party.

Online dating is a guaranteed way to earn at least a few thousand pound additional revenue each month, with many of our partners now able to give up their full time jobs to run their own dating site.

Gay.co.uk powered by WhiteLabelDating.com

We’re pleased to report that NeoCom Media has chosen WhiteLabelDating.com to power the new dating site for Gay.co.uk, a high end gay lifestyle portal.

NeoCom Media project manager Chris McEldowney decided to add WhiteLabelDating.com’s dating services to Gay.co.uk after the success of his adult dating site Adult.Chat.co.uk, which launched in February 2008. WLD will provide the backend systems and management services for the site as well as full access to its gay members.

Chris McEldowney says “I am thrilled to be launching this brand new dating service on WLD’s platform. Our other site, Adult.Chat.co.uk, experienced such high user conversion rate and proved so successful in terms of user retention that we chose to partner with WLD again for Gay.co.uk. They provided us with everything that we needed to roll out this exciting new application.”

We expect the new dating site to go live in late 2008.
