Hey Paul, welcome to this site and best of luck with your new site.
I think one of the best things that will help your new site is the fact that you have been a long time lurker here. That fact alone, with the education one has to receive by lurking and participating, would be instrumental I think in trying to put together a new site that appealed to many.
What would bring me to a new site? From some of the things you listed I would say video chat with real women who had a real interest in marriage. Now marriage to a foreign man would be a plus but women who are interested in marriage in general, to either a local or foreign man would be good compared to what I see from most the agencies now that provide video chat. A two way video chat with only two people at a time, the man and the women so you know the woman is actually communicating with you. A third person would need to be involved, and more than likely sitting next to the women, if an interpreter was needed. And women who are sincere to find a husband will not be doing the video chat as a job, being paid to video chat as so many of the women today are. Also I think the video chat, although not as easy for the woman, should be done at the local agency. You would have to call ahead, arrange for the video chat to take place on a certain day, at a certain time. Arrange a time that was good for the lady, maybe after school or after work, maybe on her day off, maybe on the weekend. Something more natural than these young hotties who are chatting at 3 and 4am in the morning, every morning. Something still not quite right about that picture.
As a long time lurker Paul you know I am also in the business. See, my name is in red as yours is. These things I have mentioned to you about video chat is something I have been thinking about trying to do with selective agencies in selective cities. In 2011 with each city I travel to I am going to take the time to meet with what I believe are good and honest agencies and see what they say about providing such a service. All I need is to find one such agency in any city and my arrangement would be any and all ladies from that city, or nearby to that city, even ladies from other agencies could use the video chat camera. Of course competing agencies will not go for this and we could only proceed with those women from other agencies once we were able to make direct contact with the women, which I think is the single most important element of this most magnificent pursuit.
Speaking of which, Paul with your new agency will you be allowing men to have direct contact with ladies who interest them?
A few questions Paul. I read you are married to an FSU woman. How long have you been married? Where all have you traveled in the FSU? Did you meet one, two or many Russian/Ukraine ladies during your pursuit? What nationality are you? What nationality will own your new agency? Will you have an office, or offices, and if so what country, state, will office, or offices, be located?
Will you be trying to find women from all over the FSU or in one or two general countries? How are you going to go about finding, advertising, selecting these women?
