Blaine Anderson has built a nearly $1 million business helping young men find love\u2014something that is elusive for many at a time when much of life is lived on computers and smartphones.<\/p>\n

Anderson, 33, runs Dating By Blaine<\/a>, selling a course ($1,295) that teaches customers the ropes of creating a dating profile after a first date and a course on texting the people they date ($149).<\/p>\n

\u201cI sort of fell into it,\u201d says Anderson. \u201cI always have been really fascinated by dating and relationships.\u201d She found she was sought-after for advice by her guy friends, whose dating profiles often benefited from her edits.<\/p>\n

Blaine Anderson helps young men learn the rules of dating in a digital world. <\/p>\n

Anderson, who previously worked in the travel industry in New York City, never thought of teaching dating as a career path\u2014though she had dated for 15 years on six continents. Then she lost her job during the pandemic, and she became unemployed overnight. \u201cI was living in San Francisco at that point,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI moved back in with my parents.\u201d Suddenly, creating a course made sense. \u201cCourse-based businesses are very scalable,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

With world travel looking like it would be slow to come back, her boyfriend\u2014now her husband\u2014gave her the push: \u201cYou should just go all-in on this. You have nothing to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was in 2020. She had soon set to work building her first dating-based masterclass and spreading the word through Instagram and TikTok.<\/p>\n

Many of the men who purchase the masterclass think they have to behave as an \u201calpha male,\u201d to get dates\u2014whether that is by being rich, having a certain body type or seeming very confident, according to Anderson. Many are engineers or in similar fields where they spend a lot of time behind a screen and may not have much time to develop their social skills.<\/p>\n

What she has found is that once women trust a man, they are generally attracted to men who are \u201chigh status,\u201d but that their definitions of \u201chigh status\u201d vary.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to communicate a trajectory,\u201d says Anderson. \u201cShe needs to know you\u2019re going places. If you\u2019re unemployed, you need to communicate why you\u2019re unemployed and how you will not be unemployed when you\u2019re together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, she says, \u201cYou need to be confident and know how to market yourself. That\u2019s different from acting the way you think a woman wants you to act.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the men, she says, \u201cThey all want someone they are excited about. Someone excited to be with them. Someone they find attractive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even when men know what qualities they want, she teaches them that not every woman will be for them. \u201cThat\u2019s one less woman you have to worry about getting to know,\u201d she tells them.<\/p>\n

Anderson\u2019s solo business picked up traction quickly. In 2020, she brought in just over $22,000. By 2021, it was $491,000. With 2022 winding down, she had brought in $931,000 as of December 13. She relies on the help of a virtual assistant.<\/p>\n

Anderson believes her decision to specialize has helped the business thrive. \u201cI like to stay in my niche and know my audience really well,\u201d she says. \u201cThere are more dating coaches for women. Women are more open to asking for help. I don\u2019t think men are as open.\u201d She intends to change that, one student at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
