WHAT'S INSIDE: Whether you're into online dating or not, you're
going to need GREAT photos of yourself. Here's why, and better yethere's HOW...

FALL IS HERE...AND IT'S TIME TO MEET A GREAT GUY
Online dating can be such a fun and exciting way to meet terrific
men that you'd think every woman would already be on Match.com or
OKCupid and loving it!
For some women among us, however, there really can seem to be A LOT
to have "sweaty palms" about instead, as it turns out.
"I'm a TERRIBLE writer. I have NO IDEA what to write and I'll
probably mess it up anyway."
"Wow...I just don't know if I can handle getting all excited over a
guy's profile, only to face the AGONY of failing to actually get
the chance to meet him for real and see what he's like. That would
drive me NUTS!"
"What if I spend ALL THAT TIME writing a bunch of e-mails without
realizing I'm sending messages to scammers behind FAKE profiles...or
worse, jerks?"
"Right now I do somewhat okay getting dates without online
dating...it would REALLY hurt my confidence to get online and get NO
e-mails from guys whatsoever!"
"I take AWFUL pictures. I almost always look much better in
person than I do in ANY of my pictures."
Hmmm... OK, well we're going to take care of that last potential
stumbling block right here and right now in today's newsletter...or
at least give you a running start at it.
But to find clear and simple answers for the rest of them, my Click

In it I'll reveal to you how to put together a terrific profile in
record time, select only the very best "prospects" among a sea of

them extra excited to meet you.
In other words, I've done all the work for you.

guy by the time the Holidays get here.

[Ed. Note: Okay, ladies...what I'm about to share with you was
originally written by Scot and sent to his guys.
It's REALLY, REALLY good and applies to women every bit as
well as men, so I just HAD to share it with you too.I've made a few edits where necessary to make sure it's focused on
the specific needs of us as women, but for the most part it's just
like he originally wrote it. Enjoy!]
6 SECRETS TO GREAT PICTURES
Let's get something out of the way up front here.
If you have an online dating profile posted anywhere online--or
plan to in the near future--then today's newsletter contains
mission-critical information that can and will improve your
fortunes immediately.
But here's a surprise.
Even if you're NOT exactly into online dating, you're going to be
glad to have read what follows anyway.
"Why", you ask?
Well, chances are you've got a Facebook, Twitter and/or Google+
profile, right?
Obviously, having the most flattering pictures of yourself possible
always helps...that's a "no-brainer".
But what's more, here's something that maybe you haven't considered.
Remember back in high school when you always exchanged pictures
with MOTOS (members of the other sex) you met?
Well, nothing has changed, really. It's still a GREAT idea to have
some particularly good pictures on hand to share with someone
you've started dating.
It's an excellent way to keep a solid, positive impression of how
wonderful you are at the forefront of their mind.
So then, let's all agree that today's discussion is an
all-important one...especially in light of the shockingly high
percentage of people I've spoken to lately (and seen online, for
that matter) who clearly have no high quality photos of themselves
whatsoever.
You do NOT want to be one of those unfortunate (but plentiful)
people. With that in mind, here are a half-dozen ways to make sure
you have GREAT pictures of yourself instead:
1) Think Like A Customer Service Agent
This is absolutely GOLDEN, and perhaps one of the very most
foolproof strategies going.
Ever notice something about virtually every photo you see online
depicting a customer service agent?
Well sure, they all have one of those headphone/mic combos on their
head.
But that aside, check it out: They all have the same exact
expression on their faces, too...be they male or female.
They have a certain CONFIDENT but WARM look about them.
That's no coincidence. After all, the whole point is to get you to
see them as both competent and easy to talk to.
If they can sub-communicate that impression in your mind, you're
more likely to actually contact them, right?
Well guess what? Your best pictures of yourself (online OR off)
have the very SAME goal. You want to excite MOTOS about getting in
touch with you.
So it's worthwhile to stand in front of a mirror and practice until
you can duplicate that "customer service" countenance. Then go
take some pictures.
Oh, and RELAX your way into that facial expression rather than
forcing it. It'll turn out MUCH better that way.
2) Stay Indoors, And Stay Natural
There are two certain ways to look terrible in photographs.
The first is to stand in the dark and let a flashbulb wash you out,
thereby highlighting all of your flaws...even the ones that are
practically invisible under every other circumstance.
The second is to go outside on a sunny day and squint into the
camera. Nobody has ever been MORE attractive when wrinkling his or
her face up into a knot.
And wearing sunglasses isn't exactly the solution either. We all
need to see your eyes...you know, since they're the windows to your
soul, and all.
So what's the solution? Find a place that's inside and has natural
light...that is, not requiring a flash.
If it's overcast outside, that's good also.
The point is to look your BEST, and bright light (be it solar or
electronic) doesn't do that.
3) Be Happy, For Pete's Sake
The other day Emily and I were coaching someone on how to perform
effective searches online when something truly bizarre occurred to
us.
Fewer than HALF of the people listed in the search results were
smiling in their primary photos. Many looked downright angry or
vexed.
You see, in my mind this seems pretty fundamental. But apparently
it doesn't to most people.
Smile in your pictures. You probably look more attractive when you
do. Plus, you'll most certainly appear to be more positive a human
being, and therefore more intriguing.
4) Stay Focused
What's up with all of these photos I've seen online that are either
blurry or poorly framed?
If you're blurry in your pictures, MOTOS are not going to assume
you're MORE attractive than you appear. Rather, they're going to
think you're hiding something.
And as we all know, misrepresenting yourself online is pretty much
the "kiss of death". So crisp, clear pics are a must.
And if half of your head is cut off it's hard to get a good idea of
what you look like as well. Make sure to be centered in your pic,
as that vision of symmetry is pleasing to the eye...which is always a
good thing.
5) Leave No Doubt What Your Gender Is
Masculine men are attracted to feminine women, and
vice-versa...right?
So why not make it a point to wear the most gender-specific clothes
you have?
An "over the shoulder glance" shot is perfect. There's just
something about that sort of picture that intrigues guys to no end.
Be sure to stand up straight and strike the kind of pose that only
a woman could!
6) Dress For Success
I cannot tell you how many frumpy women and sloppy dudes I've seen
in pictures online.
How can you expect to attract MOTOS like catnip attracts kitties
unless you've made an effort to at least look your best before
getting in front of the camera?
Without exception, whenever any guy sends me the usernames of his
top 5 choices among all the women in his entire metro area the
pictures that I see are of women in dresses, high heels, and the
whole nine yards.
It's rare to see women in sweatpants and oversized t-shirts in
those pictures.
The smartest guys online know this is true...which is why they put on
their Sunday Best (yes, even a suit) instead of fooling themselves
into thinking that a "wife beater" T-shirt and "bed head" is going
to attract any high-quality women whatsoever.
OK, so there you go. Some of what you have just read may seem
refreshingly original. Glad to help you get an edge there.
But no doubt, you've probably noticed that there's also been a lot
of common sense involved.
Unfortunately, however, it would appear once again that "common
sense" isn't necessarily so common out there.
Seriously, follow the six steps I've outlined for you above and
you'll be WAY ahead of probably 90% of everyone else out there.
Be Good,
Scot McKay
