If You Want A Date, Promote Yourself!
By Andy Michael
How to find a date? Promote yourself! That's
one of the key you should consider. It sounds too
planned, too contrived, right? You probably wonder
whereas the romance; where are all the rainbows,
fireworks and stars?
Probably that is what you have in mind when advised to put
on a personal ad in different kind of publications. Well,
that's one way to meet people. In order to meet the man or
woman of your dreams, you're going to have to have a lot of
people to choose from. If you want to win the lottery, you
don't just buy one ticket.
True. Dating can be great fun. But can also be a really
stressful experience if you are unprepared.
Tips to Promote
1.Now, start by checking the publications in
your area that run personal ads.
2.Find out the geographic range of this publication. Do you
want to travel that far to meet the people who respond to
your ad? If so, run the ad. If not, look for another
publication with a smaller geographic range. Then, if the
publication is daily or weekly, run the ad three times in a
row, if your finances will allow. If the publication is
monthly, run the ad once. If your finances won't let you
run the ad three times, run it once or twice.
3.You can adapt this headline to suit your own interests.
The headline can read Nurses Really Turn Me On, Tennis
Players Really Turn Me On, and Italians Really Turn Me On.
This list can go on forever. You get the point. Just insert
what you love into this headline.
4.After the headline is written, move on to the rest of the
ad. Write the qualifiers. Do you want a smoker or a
non-smoker? Does religion matter? What age interests you?
How about height and weight?
5.One of the major mistakes people make when they write ads
is that they try to please everyone. Don't do it. Sure,
you'll get lots of responses. I guess you could call that
going with the numbers. But, you'll be inundated with
people who just won't be of interest to you.
All you have to do now is waiting for the replies. When
they come, separate them into two piles - the calls and the
no-calls. Don't throw out the no-calls! These are people
you don't feel you want to call. You'll be surprised at how
often you change your mind. If you throw out the no-calls,
you'll probably be sorry later.
