How to write an Effective Personal Ad
Your online profile or personal ad is the first impression gateway to dates. You are literally marketing yourself, essentially creating a brief resume for a date or love. Take your time to craft a fun and clever ad, something that will attract the right people.
A Good Alias is a Good Start
An alias is what you'll need to begin with any dating site. This should be an attention grabbing name and should give some clues to who you are and tell a little bit about yourself since this is the first thing people will see. Your alias might be funny and clever, tell something about your personality, or tell something about what kind of relationship you are seeking. It can also be more a descriptive combination, hinting at your personality and showing what kind of date you are looking for.
You could also use your alias to let people know about one of your passions or hobbies. If you enjoy dancing you could have an alias like dancinggirl or salsaman or if you like sports you could use the alias skigirl or soccerboy. Back then, I did my with a little french influence.
Now Make The Alias Sell
You also want to stand out from the crowd, but only for the right people. You can accomplish this by referring to something that’s lesser known, except to the people you’re trying to attract. Examples include:
Rowlinglady (referring to JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter)
Merylstreepgal (communicating that you’re a fan of her movies, or people that look like the actress)
Asiacruiser (explaining that you like to travel overseas or have relatives from that area of the world)
Having a hidden reference can also give you and the person you're contacting something to chat about when first exchange messages.
Another option you have when creating an alias is to have it say something about what your like or what the dating experience might be like with you. Examples include: funlovingdude, shygirl, goodkindofbad, hittheclubs, or studiousbutfun.
Also, you could give an idea of what kind of relationship you want with aliases such as: seriouslovelady, lifelove, kindhearted, justbrokeup, huggable, or justfun. Not forget try adding some foreign lingua to the alias. This will indirect describe the intented nationality or where you are interested to go.
Try to get creative and the bottom line in the online dating world is to have fun, express yourself, and be safe by listening to your own internal instincts.
Create an Attention Grabbing Headline on the Front Page
Most matchmaking sites will want you to write a headline for your ad. The more it intrigues people the more clicks you will get and visits to your profile. You can take a similar approach to your headline as with your alias, incorporating a little about yourself or going the clever, funny route - below are a few quick examples:
"I'm Worth It"
"You Won't Be Disappointed"
"Devilish Angel"
"Seriously Studious But Full of Fun"
"Sunsets and Walks On The Beach"
"Ask and You Shall Receive"
"Scratch and Sniffable"
