Testimonial

Dear Friend,

"I moved my website to Affiliate Dating in July 2006. At the time, we had a few friends and family using the site, and almost no paying members. With the benefit of Affiliate Dating’s database, and their full support I have gone from zero income to over £10,000 per month within 18 months, and as we have very good retention of members I have no doubt that we will continue to see strong growth in our income for many years.

Affiliate Dating provided everything I needed to make my business a success. I concentrate on the marketing and advertising and they deal with everything else from vetting the members, to processing the credit cards and policing the activity on the site.

It takes me a few hours a week to earn a very healthy profit, and I couldn't’t have done without Affiliate Dating. I investigated a number of other dating companies and found Affiliate Dating are offering a far better service, at about half the cost of their competitors, so I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering setting up an online dating business.

I would be happy to talk to anyone who would like more information on my experience." - Mike

Testimonial

Dear Friend,

"We had previously run a dating agency on the back of our core business which is a successful rural / farm recruitment website.

Although we held over 4000 profiles we only had about 120 current paid up members and the advertising and other costs were using up most of the income.

We decided to enter into a contract with Affiliate Dating and were very impressed with how quickly and efficiently they adapted their website to accommodate all our corporate colours and logos. Their software people were brilliant at picking up our data base and absorbing our members into the   system.

The changeover only started in early April and signs are fairly optimistic. Our members now have an enormous search data base from which to find prospective partners. We think that by month 4 we will be surpassing our previous income without the hassle of the daily running of the site and all the software issues that have dogged us in the past.

The back site is very well set out and simple. At all times the staff at Affiliate have been more than helpful and pleasantly efficient.

I hope this is of some help"

Regards
Nigel

Testimonial

Dear Friend,

"I started my online dating website as a semi serious business but after a year of trading I was no further forward than when I started. ADL contacted me and I was impressed with the deal that they were offering. As soon as ADL revamped my website and added their database I began to make money!

I would recommend their services to any other company or individual and I am very grateful to them for their excellent support with Ad Words and the general marketing of my business. I am making more money than ever and have month on month growth."

Testimonial

Dear Friend,

"I was looking for a new business venture in order to provide my children with an income for the future, I came across ADL's Franchise opportunity and having looked at all the information available decided to take up the opportunity.

I am very glad that I did because in my first month I started to see a return on my investment and the signs are very encouraging for the future.

The support that I have received from ADL has been 1st class. They are very professional and have been instrumental in supporting me in a new business that I had previously not known much about.
They have always been there to answer any question no matter how simple and I would recommend their franchise opportunity."
