Contraversial Killer Profiles So Deadly They Should Be ILLEGAL
The following communication is an Unfettered! Special Report:
Over the past week, we the incredibly bold and beautiful behind the creation of Unfettered have noticed a few members have profiles that look like the work of a sleazy insurance salesman with rotten leftover and snuff breath. We won't mention any names, ahem, but if this is you people will take one look at you and feel you could care less about their needs!(That your only interest is parting them from their hard-earned CASH!)
Now, if your profile sucks, we don't blame you entirely and feel you may have been the victim of a practical joker or are suffering from 'web 2.0 Spam overload', and have decided to lead out this edition of Stay Informed with a couple very simple tips that will catapult you ahead of the masses!
Are you ready for this? Lets Begin....
Almost every 'marketer' out there fills their profile page with links and biz opps virtually no one on the face of the planet gives a rip about. Even worse they don't interact with others, if they do they just blast them with their opportunity sending the message across that they are broke, hopeless and need money now!
Here's the rub....if you simply make YOUR Profile page about YOU, and not your business, people will always be interested in getting to know YOU, who YOU are, what YOUR about.
What do you like? Hate? Do for Fun? Have for hobbies? Talents? Skills?
The list goes on, be creative and have fun with it, most people like fun and there are sure as heck a whole lot who have the same interests as YOU!
Here's the second rub...By adding ONE simple link to your profile you can lead your new friend(s) who are interested in YOU to an offsite page with more information about what you do!
This is exactly why we created the Marketplace. This is your one place on the site to do business, remember this is a SOCIAL Network, not a business site!
So lets all have some fun, get to really know each other and build Unfettered into a simply incredible site that people will actually want to visit and get engaged in!
Now for the weekly Offbeat
Major progress was made this week as administration worked closely with members from the community to propel Unfettered ahead of everyone else and make this the coolest social network ever. Site Founder David C Schupbach updated Da Rules including our new, improved and better defined SPAM POLICY. Please be sure to keep up to date with what is probably the simplest rules in the history of any website ever so we don't get angry and sic site administrator Cheryl Baumgartner's 'Pets' on you.
In life and society, profile questions were changed to reflect a more personal and social approach, so if you haven't had the chance to re-answer them we suggest you do that ASAP before too many people think your a dorklike This Guy.
Some new groups also sprung up this week, the spotlight award for the coolest new group goes to Roy L. Morris for his Tickle your funny bone group where he has actually managed to gather the pink panther, marvin the martian and some drunk fisherman?
The thought for the week is to Just have fun with it already, just don't play with it till it turns limp!
Ouch! Yeah, till next week,
I'm Garnet Nagy, out of my freakin mind....

Neat now I can read the "paper" with my coffee LOL! Since we are handing out awards I'm trying to decide if I should give you the Lou Grant "Great Newsman" award or the Karl Kolchek "Night Stalker award for mentioning my "pets"!

Hi, Garnet,
Great post - a pity it was needed.
I have been a bit remiss about welcoming people to Unfettered so I have had one of my daughters read some of the profiles to me and post some welcomes for me.
As you say, some of the profiles are somewhat lacking and, since nobody else has said anything, I have.
I see it as part of admin's job to make sure that new members are enabled to recognise what we are trying to do here before the slight bruising becomes a galloping rot.
The members page is their first chance to introduce themselves and they should be encouraged to do so if they have missed that element out.

Wow. Thanks Garnet. Many, me included, seem to hit a blank wall when it comes to profiling ourselves. Why are we so uncomfortable talking about personal likes, dislikes, pet projects, hobbies, etc.? Yet, I really agree with your assessment: It's much more social to work with/do business with individuals who have similar characteristics and interests. I, for one, plan on taking your suggestions to heart. (And, to check out Roy's new group for the lighter side of life.)
