When it comes to online dating, either you use paid or free online dating service. There are some steps to follow to be more successful in finding your other half. I have noticed the ineffective way online singles use to create their personal ad on an online dating site. Lots of them are ignoring the fact that they already put some time and investment into this online dating but poorly present themselves through the personal ad. These are the steps, not necessarily in orders, that I see important to address and can be used as a guideline.
1. Upload your photo on your profile. I believe this is one of the most important things to do. A picture is worth a thousand words, and it’s absolutely true. Create your first impression with your photos, and it can lead to the first conversation and possible relationship that you hope for. Profiles without photos will be ignored instantly even if you have a good profile about yourself. But make sure you have a few good photos of yourself and they should not have other people in them because this is your profile not your friends. A nice smiling photo is recommended. It creates good impression and shows your personality.
2. You now have a nice photo or two of yourself, but that is not it. Your profile details need some information about yourself. Describe briefly about who you are in general, what you would like to do in the future, what are your interests, and what you are looking for in life. Do not get too deep in your personal life. It will get boring fast and turn the prospective candidates away. Also, do not give too much sensitive information about yourself such as, your real name, address, and phone number on your profile. You should never be too careful about this.
3. Most online singles including American singles do not know or pay attention to this. You need to sign in to your profile regularly. The more often you come back, the more exposure to your profile. I have noticed most online dating sites giving priority to the latest login profiles, thus those profiles will be on top of the search result and that is how your profile gets more noticed than inactive profiles.
4. If a free online dating site you join has a forum, it is a good idea to take advantage of it. Introducing yourself on the forum is a good way to promote yourself and communicate with others. It’s also a good place to exchange ideas, ask questions, or get some advice. You might gain some good friends on here and it can develop to relationship.
5. Blogging is a potential tool to present yourself, show your interests, and so on. It’s proven to be the effective method to network yourself with others. You can also show your personality through blogging. Others might have the same interest and perhaps like your personality. One thing can lead to another, and before you know it, you might find your loved one through your blogs.
There are probably some other tips not included in here. These steps are merely based on personal experience and can only be used as a guideline. And hopefully it can be useful to some if not all.
