“What I'm doing isn't just about helping men get more matches — it's about helping them find love.”
In this week's First $1,000 segment, we hear from Priya in Bangalore, who helps Indian men improve their online dating profiles.
It started when a friend showed her his dating profile — blurry photos, an uninteresting bio, two matches in five weeks. She helped him revamp it and he started getting dates. Then friends of friends asked for help. That's when she realized it could be a business.
Priya's biggest insight: it's not just about fixing photos and bios. It's about understanding what each person wants to convey and helping them find the balance between confidence and humility. Some clients are too shy; others come across as arrogant. Her job is to represent them accurately while making them appealing.
The highlight of her work so far: a client who proposed to his girlfriend and thanked Priya for helping him create the profile that caught her attention. "What I'm doing isn't just about helping men get more matches — it's about helping them find love."
Her advice for anyone starting a similar service: understand the platform well, listen carefully to clients, and develop a thick skin. Not everyone will be happy — but if you're passionate about it, it's worth it.
