My daughter Georgia has to sit down and re-think her business plan with 'Datemysister' as everything has fallen flat. After a brilliant beginning, she had over 33 thousand hits on her site, she has realised that she needs an injection of hard cash and business acumen if her idea is going to succeed.
I have tried numerous dating sites, they are dreadful. I joined one the other day who enticed me saying I had messages but that I had to pay to read them. When I had the 'go ahead' to contact my interested parties not one replied! That led me to believe I am a worthless person, but I chose to think along the lines that perhaps my message was dangled like a carrot in front of my prospective matches for them to pay up too.
Georgia's idea is to have a completely 'free' dating site, but to charge advertisers. It was a shock when 33 thousand people logged on to Datemysister the data base wasn't up and running and it wasn't able to cope with everyone. It had been put together quickly and spontaneously.
There are numerous shows on the television these days featuring people who want to invest in good business ideas. Is there a Welsh entrenpeneur who fancies dabbling in the dating game? Georgia would love to hear from you.....
