Also, the women who submit their profiles to marriage agencies are marriage-oriented by default, so there's a risk of getting into a "Money Maker" or a "Russophobic"....• Internet Marriage Agencies.
Generally, they employ the same concept as traditional ones, except that they use internet.
It allows easier access to their databases, online search on various criterias, and makes the services more versatile and less expensive.
It's better to find the agency, which operates its own database -- many marriage agencies just buy databases of other marriage agencies and these databases become outdated and old....
What services do they offer: (a) Submitting your data to marriage agencies (about $50 US per month); (b) Listing your ad in a special catalogue, which is then distributed among interested women (about $150 US); (c) Ads in Russian newspapers and magazines (the price depends); (d) Selling e-mail, postal addresses and phone numbers of women from the database (about $10 US for one address); (e) E-mail forwarding.
Many ladies don't have an e-mail access, so you submit your e-mail, it is printed out and forwarded to the lady you're writing to.(usually it costs $5 US for a letter)..Things to be aware about:.
(a) There's much scam on the internet related to "marriage business", be aware about it, choose only reputable agencies or the ones, that were recommended to you by a person who had his own positive experience at a specific agency..
(b) E-mail forwarding is a big business: most of the ladies don't have internet access, so the agencies make money out of it: every letter costs $5.
