Online Dating Profile Help

BRADENTON HERALD -- Aug 12 -- ProfileHelper helps online daters enhance their profiles, whether it's the written portion or the photo. "The best way to think of a profile is it's a movie trailer, it's not the movie. The trailer is supposed to give you just enough information that you want to buy a ticket," lead advisor Eric Resnick says. 11% of adults who use the Internet - 16 million of them - have gone to an online personals site, according to a Pew Internet & American Life Project published in March of this year. LookBetterOnline charges $129 for 12 pictures. The move toward hiring professionals to improve profiles started a couple of years ago, says Mark Brooks, editor of Onlinepersonalswatch.com.  It's worthwhile for internet daters to make a compelling profile and a photograph that brings out the best in them. If they take the time and money to seek out professional services, Brooks says their responses should double. 

Mark Brooks: Internet daters need profile improvement services. Unfortunately internet daters still don't realise this. It behooves internet dating companies to offer, or at least guide them, to reputable profile improvement services. The better daters profiles look, the better the internet dating services looks as a whole.

For sure! I'm a Romance Coach and every single one of my clients has needed work on their profiles. Convincing them of that need is not always easy, particularly the need to get professional photos. I am working on an ebook about profile writing, and good examples of bad photos are all too easy to find. I LOVE LookBetterOnline.com for photo work, and all my clients who have used their services have been pleased.

I include a profile review and rewrite in my regular coaching fees, so it is a real deal fo my clients -- essentially, when they sign up for coaching with me, they get the profile workup as a bonus. However, I also do one-shot profile advice and rewrites for $99.

Eric Resnick runs a great service. We have been working with him for a couple of years now. Members get better written profiles and a greater likelihood of connecting with someone.

They are more likely to pay us more, as they have invested in their profile.

And, of course, ProfileHelper.com gets more business.

So, it's a win-win-win situation.

The same is true of LookBetterOnline.com, which we also have as an add-on.

There is zero downside to having these services.

Kudos to Eric Resnick for his good press. More kudos to Sam Moorcroft for realizing that integrating profile writing into his site was the best way to get customers on board. And special kudos to Mark Brooks, who's been pimping profile writing services since Dave Evans and I first started in '03.

Photos, profiles, coaching, content - these things create brand loyalty in a way that no techno-gimmick could possibly accomplish. Offer them - at no cost to you - and see for yourself.

Our private label sites are visible at cupid.e-cyrano.com, jdate.e-cyrano.com and mate1.e-cyrano.com if you'd like to see how it would look for your company to strengthen your brand AND make money.

As the others attest, it is critically important to take great care when crafting an online profile. Although many of us offer profile editing for a fee, there are resources out there that give excellent guidance and support gratis. My complimentary newsletter (Smart Connections: Singles' Edition) has a section on online dating and regularly discusses profile reviews. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

There's actually a great service based in Australia that creates new dating profiles for people, but based on face-to-face interviews, which certainly gives them the edge in creating a truthful representation of the person. It's called www.ProfileWriters.com

A friend of mine used it and said it was certainly worth the time and price.

I agree that most people commit mistkes when making up their own online profile. It is best that there is a service that teaches tips and dos in writing online profiles

You're absolutely correct. All the commenters are correct too. Dating sites nowadays are getting less and less personal, and more about simply collecting your personal data and becoming another index of identities like Facebook is. Simply working for advertising money.

Dating sites aren't even needed. Hell, I met my girlfriend only playing Starcraft 2. Go figure!
