1.RECENT PHOTO:Photo is the most important part of creating a good matrimonial profile. Many people are very shy or hesitant about putting your or your wards photo online, the truth is that when there are lakhs of other profiles with photos and if you do not put yours then its a disadvantage to you. Photo increases responses by 10-15 times. Consider following things when you put your photo online for matrimonial purpose.

• Put a picture taken in a photo studio by a professional photographer
• Do not dress overly modern or overly conservative.
• Do not take picture in awkward or objectionable poses.

• • For Boys:Prefer to wear shirt and pant or t-shirt and jeans (no sunglasses or tie).
  • For Girls:Salwar-suit, regular saree or a Casual top and jeans. (Very light makeup and minimal jewelery)

• Take photo in proper lighting
• Do not try to look like a super-model, simply dress smart.

2.PROVIDE COMPLETE INFORMATION:Put all the matrimony related info in your profile. It helps the other member to understand you, your thoughts, family etc. Many people feel that specifying everything in the paragraph is good enough, but that's a wrong practice. Those details are hardly read few peoples only, you still need to follow the formats presented by these sites.

Example: When matrimonial site asks you "Are you Manglik ?", many people just ignore this thinking it is a useless question. If you are manglik, you are better off selecting the option "I'm Manglik". Similarly when they ask about your caste or martial status, reply each option seriously. Clearly use every specified allocated section to describe about yourself, your family, education, profession, aspirations & expectations from your soul mate. You will have better chance to meet prospects match your requirements.

3.WRITE ABOUT YOURSELF:Be smart about disclosing about yourself. Just give brief information but adequate information. Lengthy profile can make your profile boring. Like, if you have done MBA, simply mention that, and do not write about grades or passing year etc, all that can be discussed later. Write about your professional and educational background. Write briefly about your family members and how many brother and sisters you are and profession of your parents. What are your expectations from your partner. Always do spelling and grammar check.

4. PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP :Premium membership offers great advantages in contacting other members, especially when you are planning to get married within the next few months. It reduces the time gap consumed in Express Interest & talk directly. It also helps to make you more popular in the searches.

5.LOGIN REGULARLY:Creating a profile on matrimonial site is not enough, you should also login regularly and express interest to other members who matches your criteria. Instead of waiting the response from other members also initiate contact from your end.

6.SEE OTHER PROFILES:Do reverse engineering sometime, pretend as if you were the one looking for profiles like yours. Visit some of the top search results and see what information they have provided that you are missing.
