Taking advantage
of free online profiles.
If you are one
of the increasing number of people who are
turning to
free online profiles and Internet dating
sites to try and find a little happiness
then you should hone your techniques in
order to fully take advantage of the free
online profiles on offer. You should
practice your technique of both completing
your own profile and responding to other
profiles. A profile gives you a number of
ways to attract people’s attention, through
the headline and photo initially followed by
the content and finally the close. You
should refine each of these areas to make
them all appealing because they all serve a
purpose to finding you a date.
The headline.
Along with the
photo this is the part of your profile that
should grab viewer’s attention and make them
want to read more. Using stale, tired lines
like ‘Fun loving man seeks like minded
woman’ isn’t going to work anymore and your
potential partners will move onto the next
free profile as quick as
you can say ‘read more’. The headline is
exactly that and it should be treated like a
headline in a paper. Think of something that
excites and encourages, but make it short
and make it snappy. If you get your headline
just right you will attract a lot of
attention.
The photo.
You’ve probably
done it yourself. Browsing the free
online profiles you will
have come across a few with no picture.
Regardless of how good the headline is you
will skip straight past it. By showing a
good photo of yourself
you are putting a
face to your name and giving yourself a
character straight away. You don’t have to
look like a Hollywood movie star and you
don’t need to be pulling a Playboy pose, a
full picture of your smiling face will make
others smile and when they smile they will
probably want to read more.

The content.
Free online
profiles always seem to have the usual
remixed rubbish that has allegedly been
tried and tested for generations. Just
because it’s been tried and tested it
doesn’t mean it will work.With free
online profiles making
people smile and putting them at ease is the
best way to fill a profile. Don’t give a
long list of the things you like or people
will turn off before they get to the end.
Bore them with your free online
profile content and
they’ll suspect you’re like that in the
flesh. Use a conversation tone, as though
you’re speaking and they will look at your
picture and imagine you saying the words so
be natural and throw in the occasional piece
of wit.
The close.
In sales terms the final word is the close
and is used to encourage people not only to
buy but also to buy now rather than later.
This is especially important for you because
if they don’t email you straight away then
there’s a good chance they won’t do at all.
They’ll move on and look at the next
profile, probably forgetting about you
altogether. To get people to buy the close
doesn’t have to be direct for free online
profiles and as long as you mention time
during your content this will encourage
people to buy it now.
You only need mention that you’re planning
to go somewhere at the weekend. It really
doesn’t matter that your
free
profile will sit there for months because
people always think of a profile they are
reading as having only just been posted.
