Free Dating Services
Free dating services abound on the Net. All I have to do is look at my inbox to see all the requests to review dating sites and I know this to be true. Everyone wants something for nothing if they can get it. Heck, I certainly don’t blame them. I’m always looking for something for nothing or, at the very least, something for as little as possible. That’s why when it comes to dating, I prefer the pay-per-use model over the monthly membership fees.
We have a bunch of dating sites on Cupids Reviews that are pay-per-use. One of the first and best dating sites that I’ve seen implement this model is Lavalife. You buy a package of credits for a set price and then whatever you do, whether it’s sending and email or starting a chat session, your account gets a certain amount of credits deducted from it. Using this model, it’s possible to spend $50 for an entire year of dating, if you’re careful and selective. Many dating sites offer chat boards for free where it doesn’t cost a penny to get conversations going. The focus may be a little more on conversation rather than hooking up but if some good conversation is all you’re after, this type of free-play service is a great bonus. If you have any good free dating services to recommend, please leave me a note!

I use LavaLife and adore it. Definitely dig the pay per use over the monthly fee setup.

The free model is good business model. No doubt after seeing that large adsense cheque I was moved..
