Best Face Forward - How to add a killer photo to
your online personal ad.


I read this amazing statistic recently - 24.3% of singles
have used or are currently using online dating services
or personals to meet someone. Whoa. Right now there
are 15 major subscription-based online matchmaking
sites, as well as thousands of smaller, more specialized
ones. Many of my friends are giving it a shot, and the
last three weddings that I attended were for couples
who had met online.

Since online dating is becoming a viable way to meet
someone, why not give it a try? How it works: You
join up (Date.com was my choice), and you create a
bio, which consists of answering a series of questions.
But what you might not know is that adding a photo to
your ad can really make a difference. I read somewhere
that you have 12 times more of a chance of getting replies
with a photo.

You'll have a few options to consider. Mall glamour
shot or that talented friend with digital camera? I say
choose the friend. If you already have a great photo
of yourself, get it scanned at a local copier shop, and
easily upload the image onto your computer. Date.com
will alter and resize images for you.

A few important details: Never have your picture taken
if you aren't in a really great mood, because it always
shows. A good photographer, haircut and lighting can
downplay features that otherwise might make you feel
self-conscious. Take as many as possible so you have
more choices - rest assured, even supermodel shoots
work this way. When deciding, ask friends of the
opposite sex which shots they find most appealing. A
focus test, if you will. If you are a woman, then only ask
your male friends which photos show you off to your best
advantage. This works like a charm.

Now that you have a better idea of what you can do to
rev up your social life, get out there and give Date.com
a try. Have fun!
