How much can I make as a dating app coach? As with all Bidvine.com services, the prices are up to you, the provider. However, the site estimates that prices will start from around £30 per hour, based on similar services. Which means if you do three sessions with a client, that’s a cool £90, for simply sharing your dating app knowledge! The dating market has always been the most competitive among online services. The customers are picky, and it is hard to develop and retain an audience. Investors consider such startups too risky for infusing their funds.
For more than a decade, I’ve been actively looking for ways to earn money: online, offline, and unconventional means. Getting paid to date is one of the most unconventional ways to make money that I’ve encountered.
The BEST Ways To Make Some Quick CashI’m sure this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
But if you’re single and would love to eat out for free, receive gifts, and socialize in exchange for cash, then this can be a great, if unusual, opportunity for you to earn side cash.
Let’s take a closer look at this side gig and where you can legally sign up for it.
The idea behind get-paid-to-date companies is that they take away the trouble of finding a date for important occasions, such as weddings, family reunions, business dinners, and other such events.
With Bumble and other dating apps, you get to meet people, go on several dates, and try to see if there’s a spark before you’d be able to willingly let them meet the people in your life, like your friends and family.
But what if you’re single, need someone to accompany you next weekend, but you’re not currently dating or have no time to socialize?
This is where get-paid-to-date sites shine the brightest.
The rules of finding a date to hire on these sites or apps vary, but the end goal is the same: to find someone who will accompany you to a particular event or even just a meal with all the details and expectations of the date already laid out for both parties to accept or reject.
Others may have different approaches, but they mostly have these in common:
The “date” can be anything from attending concerts to going to the beach, or just sitting down one afternoon in a coffee shop.
There are tourists who look for dates locally, so they can check out hot spots and eat out at local restaurants without having to worry about sightseeing alone or not knowing the local language.
In some cases, the date could mean something more formal, such as business dinners, awards night, galas, and so on.
The good thing about these get-paid-to-date sites is that they require paying members looking for people to hire to indicate as many details about the date as possible. This goes beyond the basics (such as date, time, location, what kind of event).
Listing down all the expectations they have for the date is important since the dates-for-hire rely on these details when deciding to go on that particular date or not.
Paid daters can earn anywhere from $50 to $500 per date. You will be paid cash either before or after the date. Payment details are one of the essential pieces of information you’re given before accepting a date.
Most websites don’t have limits on the number of dates you accept, which means you can commit to as many or as few dates as you want.
Of course, this industry is totally about physical appearances. How much a person for-hire earns will directly depend on how attractive he/she is.
While you’re waiting for the dates to line up, check out some of these sites that will pay you to be an influencer:
Here are some of the most popular websites and apps that allow you to earn money from dating:
Like any kind of dating these days, there is a risk of danger with making money dating other people. This goes for both men and women.
Here are some safety tips when meeting someone you’ve encountered through one of these sites.
Protect your real-life identity. Set up a username that doesn’t have your full name in it, don’t use photos from your social media, never give out your actual phone number (use a burner phone if you must), be purposefully vague about where you live (especially when you live alone), and never give them your financial information or send money electronically.
Do a video call at least once before you meet them in person. Avoid being catfished. Take precautions to not reveal your location or any identifiable information about you in the background of your video.
Meet them in public. Never meet them in their car, a parking lot, a motel, or anywhere secluded where you can’t escape quickly. Make sure someone else always knows where you are and who you’re meeting.
Never accept a ride home from them. Take or rent your own car, ride public transportation, have a friend pick you up, or use a rideshare app. Always have a way to get home by yourself.
Follow your gut. At any time during your conversations or date, if you feel uncomfortable for any reason, walk away. Don’t feel pressured to be “nice” and carry on conversations or continue contact with someone you have a bad feeling about. It just might save your life.
WhatsYourPrice spokesperson Heather Ebert described their service as follows: “By attaching a monetary value to a date, singles tend to take dating more seriously. Our members are able to cut through the noise and avoid an endless cycle of messaging so they can get straight to the date.”
It would’ve been a perfect justification for making money dating, but what I personally find not OK is how this industry highlights our society’s obsession with good looks (over personality).
That said, if you’re still interested in dating men or women for cash, the websites above are your best bet.
If you’re not interested in dating as a way to earn extra cash, but need a side gig, you could always get paid to eat and if you’ve completely sworn off ever leaving your couch, you can make money watching movies instead.
