As a follow up on my post yesterday, here are some more pointers on how to create Personal Ads and Online Profiles that Work -
6. Use visual words
When describing yourself and your personality, try to think of visual and creative ways to do so. Do not limit yourself to the same plain describing words that everyone else uses. What you need to do is to think of words that will best help the reader envision you. Instead of saying you have brown eyes, you can say that you have hazelnut eyes that glimmer when you smile. Think of your best features and describe it in vivid detail.
7. Correct spelling and grammar counts
Nothing can make you look uneducated more than a poorly written profile that is full of misspellings and grammar errors. If you want to have a good first impression, then you need to proofread your profile well. Make sure that there are no errors and pls nevr write ur profile dis way. As I have already mentioned above, Twitter spelling has no place on your online profile. If you are still unsure, have a friend or relative proofread it for you.
8. Create an attention-grabbing headline
The first thing that potential dates see is your headline. They see this even before they even get to read your profile. Since this is the case, it is up to you to make your headline stand out from the hundreds of online profiles on the site.
A good headline is something that would entice people to click on your profile. It is something that would make people want to know more about you. Your goal is to capture something unique about you and to put that into words. You can even make it in the form of a riddle or a question. This way, people will be curious and will want to click on your profile to find out the answer.
9. Check out other profiles
If you are feeling stuck and do not know what to write, you can always browse through the profiles of other people. Think about what they write and how they write it. Check out the profiles of the people who made you want to read further. Also check out the profiles which you found boring and take note of what they did so you know what not to do.
10. Evoke a sense of urgency
Did you ever notice how marketing people always use the words “while supplies last,” “one-day sale only,” etc? This is done to evoke the people’s sense of urgency. They want people to think that they need to act fast and to respond right away.
You can also use this technique. You can say something like, “Come with me to the concert next weekend” and then, see how quickly your inbox gets filled with messages from interested people. Providing a time-sensitive “deadline” will make people want to act fast so that they do not miss out on the opportunity.
11. Be specific
Many people can avoid wasting time and a lot of frustration by being specific about what exactly they are looking for. A common mistake that most people do is to just say that they are looking for a “fun-loving guy” without mentioning any other characteristics that they would like. Maybe you want someone who can cook or someone who is in into dancing. What is important is that convey what you want so that you do not end up disappointed.
At the same time, when you write about yourself, it would also be good for you to be specific about your likes and dislikes. Instead of just saying, “I love to watch movies,” you can specify what movies you like and why you like them. This goes the same for other generalized topics such as food and books.
