One of the things that can make a big difference with the success of online dating is to write a really good personal profile. One even more effective method is to create a personal web page where you can expand on your profile. Just send the address to this page when you want someone you met online to get to know you better. It will be informative and save you and the other person a lot of time, weeding out the people who are not right.

If you know how to set up webpages, you can just write a one page document on a word processor and upload it to your website. What you need for this is a domain name, which could be your name or a nickname. A cheaper option is to set up a subdomain within the internet account that you get with your ISP. Then a very basic hosting account or use the free space that comes with you internet account.

If you don’t know how to convert that word document into html, you can find a whole host of html WYSIWYG editors on http://www.download.com/ or get a college kid to help you.

If you’re looking to set up a personal web page for the first time, a blog is probably the easiest way to do it since all of the tough work is already done for you.  You don’t need to know HTML programming or ever need to learn it for that matter.  Simply navigate to any one of the numerous blog hosting sites (Blogger is a free service by Google at http://www.blogger.com/), and just setup your account with a valid email address.  Almost all blog hosting sites will allow you to setup your personal web page for free and choose one of a number of different templates, or formats, for your web page.  If you do take the time to learn HTML you can alter these templates even more to suit your individual style by changing colors, moving columns and banners around, and adding photographs and links to other web pages.  Once you have everything setup you can start making posts whenever you’d like.

 

What to write on you personal web page:

• Show off your qualities. For example, adding a small joke or a humorous comment will have far more impact than just saying ‘I’m funny’.
• List your interests. Talk about what you like to do. Are you passionate about art or football? Do you loathe love ballads?
• Highlight the key elements of your character. Write about what makes you unique.What makes you tick, what makes you happy or angry. Remember, it’s the quirky things that make you stand out in a crowd. You can be as explicit as you like, with your audience in mind.
• Pictures. Add some flattering pictures of you and what is important in your life like you dogs, you boat, etc. All this say a lot about you and your lifestyle. As they say a picture says a thousand words.
• State what you want. Say whether you’re looking for love or simply friendship, say so. This will help attract people with the same priorities.
• Review and edit. Make sure that you check your profile through before you finish it.
• Update regularly. Make changes to your personal profile as many times as you need to. This is all about you, so tailor it to produce the type of responses you want to get. 

I know a man who had such great success that he has now found a life partner using this strategy. So if you are serious about Online Dating, write your personal web page now.
