    Nah, I wasnt saying sex sells, it's people willing to pay for more features.
    Especially if that feature is something that satisfies curiosity in someone e.g I wonder if that girl has actually read that message I sent her. Paying for the extra features would tell you.

    On some of the dating sites you pay for it as a feature as a whole. On some it costs you a few pence/cents to find out if a single message has been read/deleted.

    Their little ways to wangle money out of people looking for a bf/gf are genius.

    Mind you, going back to the start of this message, I guess it is 'sex sells' as the main goal in the end is to find someone for sex haha.

    Perhaps with your DeathBook website you can think of a way to integrate extra features which people could either pay for before they die which would benefit their friends/family when using the site after they die. Or do something that charges the friends/families after that person is dead if they want to use the site.

    I dont think the latter is the way to go.

    Perhaps your site is something that people should think about before they die, like life insurance etc. So maybe they pay a small fee to have the services of your site when they die. Maybe some of that fee is profit and some goes towards adding info about your site onto their will so that when they do die, their relatives will find out about the site?
