Is dating advice still profitable?

[GreatHornedOwl]

I've been doing some research on possibly starting my own online business and overwhelmingly it seems like the best chance to make bank is with dating advice. Look at all the guys who have made a killing doing so. David D, mystery, stylez, etc.

There's a lot of guys who have been here for years. Has anyone ever thought of putting a product together and trying to market it? David DeAngelo did over 20 million dollars in sales. That's incredible. There's plenty of dudes here who have just as much, if not more knowledge than he does.

The money could be right under our nose and we don't even know it.

I would never be the one to crush anyone's dreams, but the free "Book of Pook" is by far the best dating advice I've ever seen, even though it's not really "dating advice"
Just like porn, you'll have alot of free competion

All those guys are marketers, their product just happens to be PUA stuff. Do you think those guys have ANY tips or information that isn't on this forum somewhere, it's just how you advertise it.

Do you mean like selling ebooks and mp3's/ videos? Actual in-field training? or both? I think the second option is less crowded, but less money to be made. The first option is not good either with piracy and all.

You could always do something like RSD or collegeflirt. Then again, you actually need to have exceptional knowledge and experience.

The tips, e-books, and newsletters have all been done before. What I've noticed though is that none of these "PUAs" do in-field videos. At least not until somebody spends $3,000 on their program. Have you ever seen David D, Mystery, Stylez or any of those other goofs cold approach a girl? In my 6 years in the community, I think I've seen one, and it was fake and scripted. Actually there was one legit video with Mystery, and he bombed.

If you went out and bought an HD camera, threw a video up on youtube of you cold approaching and number closing 25 girls with some music in the background and good editing, there's a pretty good chance it would go viral. That would be a great way to direct traffic to your website. Of course, you'd actually have to be good at picking up women, and you'd need a business plan. But the word of mouth from that video would spread like wildfire.

I've thought about doing it myself, but you run the risk of ruining your reputation.

Sasha pua is actually doing videos. Nothing spectacular - which is good! Refreshingly simple and he's a decent guy.

Paul Janka has been doing this marketing method for quite some time

Actually, he hasn't. He originally wrote "How to get laid in NYC", which was an underground hit in the area. One of the girls we was gaming happened to be a producer on TV, which is how he ran into national recognition.

Youtube says that it's been on there for a year (which means it was filmed before that)
What makes you think I would take the time to post something if it wasn't accurate ?

Let me clarify. He was on Dr. Phil, The Today Show, Tyra, etc. before he started posting his videos. Yes, he's one of the few gurus who has posted videos, but that's not what put him in the spotlight.
