What exactly is a match made in heaven? Does it even exist?

In todays society, there is so much pressure to get married and live out the perfect life (in other words, have a nice home, a lucrative job, and a picture perfect family). And this pressure falls equally on men and women.

Naturally, there is a huge demand for anything that can help them get a date (in light of getting that picture perfect family). Here is where a professional matchmaker plays his or her important role.

In countries where young people tend to focus on their careers instead of starting a family, such as in Singapore and Japan, matchmaking business is, naturally, in high demand and considered a noble profession. In the United States and other “busy” western countries where “time is money,” dating services (both face-to-face and online) are a part of “pop culture” that have been receiving wide appeal and approvals.

If you enjoy being around people and consider yourself a good judge of character, you have got what it takes to be a professional matchmaker. No other experience is necessary, since all the other skills can be learned quite easily with the right resources.

In this eGuide, you will find information on:

Preparing your skills as a matchmaker (There is a “Harvard” school for matchmaking, which will prepare you for this career.)
Distinguish your business by positioning it smartly and wisely
How to approach your matchmaking style
How to price your services
Why working closely with competitors might be favorable
How to get more clients by joining a matchmaking network
How to start an online dating site

As a professional matchmaker, you can target any of these niche markets:

Straight men/women
Gays and lesbians
Affluent men/women
Executive men/women
College educated men/women
Ivy League educated men/women
Men/women with certain hobbies
50+ men/women
Quick daters
Slow daters
Techie daters
Online daters
Traveling daters

In a nutshell, if you have the drive to succeed and good with people, you’re very likely to succeed in this career. Of course, as the owner of a matchmaking service you’d need more than plain drive and people skills. Entrepreneurship, coaching and “partying” skills will also determine your success, but those skills can be easily learned.

As a matchmaker, you can enjoy:

The recognition in being a “cupid”
The recognition in having a “unique profession”
Enjoy high income potential (some very successful matchmakers earn anywhere from $50,000 to $1,000,000+ annually)
