Being a Matchmaker is quite different from owning a conventional business, or having a job. This is a glamorous industry on the surface, and rightly so. But there are also a lot of day to day aspects to operating your own matchmaking service – Marketing, Branding, Technology, Social Media, Legal Issues of the business and Member Service – to name a few.
There are also personality traits that make certain people more likely to succeed at being a matchmaker. You should have an entrepreneur mindset and the drive to be your own boss. The first couple of years of you working as a matchmaker can be demanding on your personal lives, because you tend to work when the clients are free, which are sometimes evenings and weekends. If you’re looking for a standard 9-to-5, you might want to not scale your business too much. Another huge requirement is being able to enjoy interacting with and helping people. While this professional can be financially rewarding, if you do not shy or not very sociable, this profession might not be right for you.
Managing all the aspects of the matchmaking on your own is doable, if you have a lot of business experience, and specific know-how of the Matchmaking Industry. If however, you are new to this industry, the many pieces it takes to run a Matchmaking service can be overwhelming.
