HOW YOU EARN MONEY FROM YOUR DATING WEBSITE!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!
**************************************************************************************************
Users register to your dating website for free to create a profile, but in order to interact with other members, they have
to UPGRADE their account.
To upgrade their account, they go to the Upgrade section in their Account Area and click on Upgrade which prompts them to sign
up for a monthly subcription which YOU set. (e.g £4.99 a month)
Each month, their subcription payment will automatically be sent to your PayPal account.
(YOU WILL NEED A BUSINESS OR PREMIER PAYPAL ACCOUNT FOR THIS)
When a user upgrades, you will receive an email from PayPal, telling you that a user has upgraded their account at
your dating service. It wil show you the nickname of the user who has upgraded.
You will have to MANUALLY upgrade their account.
To do this, you simply log into your dating site Admin Area, click on Manage Users, click on the user who has paid and click
