Score one for the little guy

I’d like to draw your attention for a few minutes to a great article over at Common Craft about a dating site called Plenty of Fish.  I’m sure you’re wondering why a supposedly happily married guy would want to talk about a dating site.  What intrigues me about this site is that it is going up against the heavyweights in that niche (Match.com, eHarmony, etc.) and pretty much taking them out behind the woodshed.  Throwing them under the bus so to speak.  Opening up a can of whoopa– OK, you get the idea.  And the kicker is that Plenty of Fish is run by one guy from his apartment.  The site is currently earning between 5 and 10 million dollars a year.

This gives hope to all of us who dream about the mere possibility of even a modest fraction of his success.  Now we know that it does indeed happen.  Yes, score one for the little guy.  So which Goliath will you be going after?

    I love love love the POF story to pieces. This is the dream anyone who aspires to do business online has.
