Global Love Report – March 18th, 2026
Are you thinking of growing your matchmaking business? Here are some additional revenue streams that you can try!
Organize Dating Workshops
As an experienced matchmaker, you have likely handled many unique clients, and along the way, you’ve also gained your own insights, ideas, and solutions from those experiences. The knowledge gained from these experiences can become valuable material for dating workshops, provided that you keep client information confidential.
For the workshops themselves, you can choose relevant topics based on real experiences and provide practical solutions to participants. Workshops can be conducted both offline and online, depending on your audience and the format you choose.
Workshops also create opportunities to reach potential clients who may not yet be familiar with your matchmaking services. You can offer additional matchmaking packages after the workshop, and with newcomers often approaching you directly, it’s also a convenient opportunity to introduce your services to those who are ready to take the next step.
Offer Date Concierge
If you want to build a more creative revenue stream, this is an option to consider. Date concierge involves planning and organizing a memorable date experience for clients who have been successfully matched, whether it’s their first meeting or a second or third date, from researching venues and making reservations to arranging special details. This could look like helping the man arrange a bouquet of flowers to present to his date, organizing special transportation to the venue, and other thoughtful touches that make the experience feel truly special.
However, this service requires careful planning. Depending on demand, you may need to decide whether you can handle it alone or require additional support to manage it.
Become a Guest Speaker
Speaking opportunities for matchmakers can take different forms. Some are invited to dating industry events or regular dating events to help coach singles, while others are recognized as successful business owners and invited to speak at business forums, conferences, or colleges and universities. This is where you can share your expertise and become a guest speaker.
Speaking engagements, whether in person or virtual, help build credibility, increase visibility, and often attract new clients. As your speaking portfolio grows, you can begin charging speaker fees to generate additional revenue.
Monetize Your Knowledge
If you have been in the matchmaking business for some time, you have likely built knowledge that others are willing to pay for. Consider packaging your expertise into digital products such as e-books, dating guides, or video series for singles.
You can sell these products through platforms like Gumroad or Teachable, or directly on your own website. This type of content also opens opportunities for sponsorship, adding another layer of income without creating entirely new products.
Add Matchmaking Events
This is commonly done but can be challenging due to the level of coordination required. You can organize events on specific dates, such as Valentine’s Day or other seasonal moments.
Choose themes and target markets carefully, as unique concepts can attract more participants. These events can generate additional revenue within a specific timeframe.
Building revenue streams in your matchmaking business requires identifying which additions make the most sense for your current position and implementing them gradually. Start with what aligns best with your strengths, and consider whether you can manage it on your own or need support.
Add Dating & Relationship Coaching Services
Some potential clients who come to your matchmaking agency are often not fully ready to be matched. Instead of turning them away or forcing the matching process, it’s better to support them through coaching first.
Dating coaching helps singles who are not yet ready to start dating, while relationship coaching supports individuals or couples facing challenges in their relationships. Both services are relevant and complement your matchmaking offerings.
If you’re confident with your coaching abilities, then you can add coaching to your list of available services. Otherwise, a course in dating and relationship coaching may be your best bet. It’s also recommended to enroll in a certification course, since it will lend credibility to your business.
If you’re interested, the Global Love Institute offers a Science-Based Coaching Certification Course guided by Dr. Terri Orbuch, a Distinguished Professor at Oakland University and a Research Professor at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. She led a study that followed 373 couples for over three decades, giving her deep insight into how to guide you in becoming a professional dating and relationship coach.
