The deadly sins of your Photos !

Don't screw up your Photo!


One of my pet peeves when managing singles and dating websites are the Photos.

Let me ask you a question...
If you see an ad for a used car and the photo shows you a grainy black and white polaroid of a delapidated Chevy with torn seats, underinflated tires and a cracked windshield... how likely are you to even give that car a second look before glancing over to the next ad? An Ad of another Chevy, basically the same model. But this one with a crisp photo taken on a sunny day after a fresh coat of wax and some "ACME Tire Shine" was applied.

There is sooooo much you can do wrong with your photos, it could not be explained just on a single page. So, bear with me as we will go over the following words of wisdom while surfing thru the Singles Foto hall of Shame!


YOU are the Chevy!


Let's face it. If you join a singles site you are basically advertising yourself. And before you give me any of the -after one to many beers- bar talk on how great a guy you are, what a perfect catch etc...
Let's be realistic... you are SINGLE... so, you are probably neither Donald Trump nor Brad Pitt.
And I can hear you now... and yes, you are right. Neither am I!
But I DO have a rather beautiful girlfriend that is way to young for me. Hah !!

Now seriously, approach your foray into the world of online dating with a bit of a Public Relations view!
Present the merchandise (Yes, that is YOU) in the best possible way. List all the features and show a nice photo or two but remember the ground rule in advertising... you can embellish, but you CAN NOT outright lie!
