Here’s some more tips to help you get the most out of your profile
Photo: Who am I talking to?
Unless you’re not yet out and afraid someone will recognise you with dire consequences, posting your photo is almost mandatory to ensure your profile gets the attention it deserves. Another cliché, but a picture is worth a thousand words and while you might not think you’re supermodel material, that special someone out there might just think you are!
When posting a photo, be sure to adhere to the guidelines and include a photo “of your face” (don’t ask…), that is less than 2 years old. While you don’t need to opt for a glamour photo shoot, invite a friend who at least knows one end of a camera from the other to take a photo of you with good lighting conditions in a relatively distraction-free background. We know you love your dog, but we want to see your face, not his! Oh yes, and don’t forget to smile – you’re happy to be here, aren’t you?.
Final Points: Maintaining your Profile
Your profile is incredibly important, so spend time refining it and update it regularly; I have noticed some members have started adding a short “blog” to the top of their profile detailing the latest happenings in their life. This method provides a great opportunity to get a conversation started, why not try it yourself? But remember to keep it fresh and interesting.
I’m tempted to conclude this article with the words “good luck” but somehow they don’t seem appropriate on their own, so I will preface it with wise words from Benjamin Franklin: “Diligence is the mother of good luck”. So go forth and be diligent!
