FreeOnlineDatingDirt.com

In case you hadn’t heard, PlentyOfFish.com has nothing to do with fish tanks. Its actually one of the most popular dating websites. And the best thing about it? Its free to use. Yep, 100% free. But does that make it any easy to find someone on then? Actually, no. In fact, I think its harder to meet people on here. Why? Because its free, there is SO much competition for dating people on there!

After lots of experimenting , I finally came up with some great ways to increase your chances of getting dates on PlentyOfFish.com… and decided to write a blog post revealing this!

1: Think like a spammer. No, I don’t mean send lots of spam emails selling medications. But spammers are great at one thing - they create intriguing subject lines that often make you open them. And the same goes for emailing people on PlentyofFish.com. Chances are, you are competing with hundreds of other emails, especially for good looking women. So, you need to be creative. Just saying ‘hi’ or ‘how are you’ is probably going to get your email ignored - or deleted! Plus, you come off as being boring. One of the best things you can do is ask them a question about their profile, or make a interesting statement. Or use the trailing dots… to make them see the rest of the sentence. This will greatly increase the chance of having your email openend on PlentyOfFish.com… which is half the battle!

2: Try using the instant messenger on there. One of the things that worked the best for me was actually not even sending emails on PlentyOfFish.com! Yep, did you know that there is a built in instant messenger? Simply click on the ‘online’ link at the top of the website after you login. Then, just click on the ‘my city’ to find local singles in your area, that are also online at the same time as you. Then, simply click on any person that has the link under it named ‘IM user’. This will open up the instant messenger tool, so you can start talking to them live! And remember, as I said in #1 above, be creative in your first line, otherwise you might get ignored, or not noticed. This instant messenger got me way responses than email!

3: Use as many ‘good’ photos as you can. Would you email someone who doesn’t have a photo? Chances are probably slim. So, if you have no photo on your profile, why do you think people would email you either? You need at least 4 or 5 photos on your profile. No camera? Surely you have a friend that can take a picture and upload it for you. Its not exactly hard these days. And don’t just put random photos up. Don’t include pictures of you and your ex. Have pictures of you smiling, ones of you doing what you love, and have ones of you with your friends. This immediately seems more like a normal person. And no blurry shots - and worse yet - no old photos that don’t represent you! It will only cause problems if you meet them.

4: Use the ‘new users’ search. A great way to catch ‘fresh’ users, who probably aren’t jaded with lots of emails from weirdos, is to use the ‘new users’ link at the top right when you login. Simply click on that that and you will see all the new users within 50 miles of you. Email them… chances are higher these people will email you back. Definitely worked for me!

5: Use the ‘viewed me’ search. This feature is pretty good - it gives you a good indication of who is looking at your profile! If they have looked at you, chances are they were initially interested, but may not have known what to email you. So, click the ‘viewed me’ link on the top right after you login, then click on anyone you like the look of. Then, email and say something like ‘hey - noticed you were checking me out… were you too shy? lol’ or something along those lines. Works well for getting replies!

Bonus Tip… Try MySpace.com For Free Online Dating! Want to know another great place to meet people for free? Chances are that you already use it, but not for dating… yep, MySpace is actually great for meeting people for dates, if you know what you are doing. I wrote a free ebook all about it…
