Declare your love Part 2

So its been a couple of days since Declareyourlove.net was launched. I must say the feedback has been quite positive, most people like the idea, but nobody is willing to pay for it (typically Singaporean!). The site already has about 1200+ hits for the past 2 days (including repeat hits), so things could improve further. Dean and Kenneth, keep up the good work!! A special mention also goes out to Wanting, who redid the website banner and menu bar for me.

The feeling I get is that this site has lots of potential. When the idea first came about, I saw a lot of potential in terms of being a site of all sorts of love related stuff. So for example, after you post your message, you have the option of buying a gift or flowers, and have that gift delivered to that special one. Or love advice (not from any one of the 4 definitely) , or even online dating.

But maybe the business model has to be rethought a bit. Maybe people won't pay for posting messages. I'm sure if it was for free then the site will be filled in no time. But they will be restricted in terms of size and message length, and priority would go to paying ones. With the amount of traffic generated then premium space would go to advertisers. But we'll see how the marketing and v-day hype will work for the site.

Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen!
