Posting your Personal Ad

The easiest way to jump-start your online dating relationship search is to post your
own personal ad - And at more than one dating site. In fact, most personals sites
REQUIRE that you to post your own personal ad in order to to begin your free
membership. All the dating and personals sites we preview at the Luvhandle.com
allow you to place your personal ad for free.

Did I mention that you should post your personal ad at more than one
dating site? I recommend an absolute minimum of three sites to start. I can't
stress this enough - Cast the widest net to catch more "fish". This WILL present
you with infinitely more possibilities. Increase your possibilities and you increase
the likelihood for finding your perfect match and the exact type of relationship you
seek ... and a heck of a lot faster too.

Because ads with photos draw 5 to 10 times more responses than ads
without photos, you should ALWAYS upload a photo with your ad if at all possible.
If you can't find a fairly current picture of yourself that you like - Get one post
haste! If you have a digital camera, then you're set. But a disposable camera
will handle the job nicely, and you can get the film developed at any photo shop
inexpensively. If you don't have a scanner or a friend with a scanner so you can
scan your photo to a floppy or your hard drive - the photo shop or even Kinko's
will put your photos on CD for you.

When filling out your free personal, select all the boxes and options that apply to
you. Remember, the more information you give about yourself, the more likely it
will be that someone will discover they have something in common with you. Most
dating sites' profile forms have quite a few options for adding information about
yourself. You'll often be presented with a question that requires you to answer "in
your own words..." Don't be overwhelmed with these, just do your best to supply
the pertinent information. You will ALWAYS be able to go back and edit or add
more information later.

Use a valid email address when signing up. Most personals sites give you the
option to receive email notification whenever someone replies to your personal ad.
Many will even offer to forward replies from other singles right into your email
inbox. You may want to use a free email account, such as Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail,
to prevent any spam and maintain anomymity at first. Just don't forget to check
your new mailbox!
