How to Get a Trial Membership
Signing up for a free Zoosk profile is simple and straightforward. First, you'll specify your gender. You then enter in your email, location and upload a profile picture.
Next you’ll need to fill out a questionnaire which is less extensive than those required on a number of other dating sites. It asks your education level, ethnicity, height, if you have children, and if you smoke. Once you finish the short signup, you’re ready to peruse the profiles on Zoosk.
What Does a Free Trial Membership Include?
With a free membership on Zoosk you can surf around and see what members are online in your area. You can also see which users have expressed interest in your profile, but it pretty much ends there. If you want to contact other users and chat, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid membership.
Another thing you can do with a free membership is buy Zoosk coins. This is an online currency used by the website, which you can use to boost your profile and buy digital “gifts” for other users.
With the Zoosk coins, you can buy gifts like a virtual box of chocolates for 20 coins, a virtual cocktail for 20, or splurge on digital teddy bear for 25. You can also purchase 75 boosts for 150 coins, which could really help your profile get noticed. A package of 180 Zoosk coins costs $19.99, 480 costs $39.99, and 1,800 is $99.99.
What Don’t You Get?
Without paying for a membership, there’s only so much you can do. While you can get an idea of the users who are available in your area, you won’t be able to send messages or chat with other users, or connect with users who have viewed your profile. You also won’t be able to take advantage of Zoosk’s “SmartPick” behavioral matchmaking, which determines matches for you based on your preferences and behavior.
Zoosk’s matchmaking technology plugs your preferences into the “carousel” feature that greets you on the site so that the best possible matches come your way. To make full use of this smart dating technology, the prices of a paid membership are as follows:
I Like What I See, What Now?
At any given point you can upgrade to a premium membership by clicking on the green “subscribe” button. From there, it’s just a matter of deciding which plan is best for you.
Bottom Line
Zoosk has become a leader in the world of online dating through their use of smart matchmaking technology and a user interface which is simple and straightforward. Try it out for free to see what other single Christians are available in your area and who you match with, and decide for yourself if you’d like to take it further.
