I've been taking care of my elderly mom (84) for about 4 years now. She got a really bad ear infection that went into her brain (a bit) and now has some balance issues that come and go... and severe tinnitus (an annoying buzz) that's there most-of-the-time...

What does this have anything to do with Internet Marketing? Well, I realized that with many baby-boomers having to care for elderly parents, and others having to care for special needs children etc... there should be a great market for a dating service helping these caregivers finding each other!

My question for Lynn and all of you is: how would you approach this? I just registered the domain: CaregiverDating.com. I'd like to start a full fledged dating site (membership site) - that would have an affiliate program so I could JV with the many caregiver sites etc. Problem is I've never set-up a membership site or a dating site.

I thought this might be an interesting project for discussion... How would you approach it?

I'd like to stick with something simple like Lynns site that has a free section (like this site) and a members only section, but I don't know how to set it up? Is that the right approach? How would I set-up the affiliate program? Help!
