Internet dating has become one of the top ways people meet their spouses today. However, "Most people I have found make tons of mistakes when they are online dating", says dating and relationship coach Amy Schoen. She has been reviewing online dating profiles for her clients for over 8 years. Many of her clients have been successful meeting their partners or spouses online. Here are her top online dating tips for the top 5 mistakes to avoid:

1. Posting a picture that really doesn't put your best foot forward. 90% Amy tells her clients to get new photos for their online dating profiles. Also to add a picture if you haven't.

2. Writing in a demanding tone for your online dating essays. Keep your tone of the writing warm and friendly.

3. Writing a too brief of an online dating profile essay with no details can be a turnoff. Be playful and descriptive. Invite your readers into the experience you mention.

4. Limiting your distance range too close in. Be willing to put in your online dating profile a distance of at least an hour or two hour's drive.

5. Not being upfront about what their life goals are and what they are truly seeking. Be willing to put your true intentions out there!

"Most people are not good about writing about themselves. They leave out key information that will attract the right person to them", adds Amy. Coach Amy Schoen will be teaching a 6 week telephone and online dating program The Internet Dating Success coaching program starting July 12th. She gives her students the tools to write their own online dating profiles and date more effectively overall.

Amy coaches singles to attract and keep a spouse in the near future without wasting precious time, energy and money. She is now happily married for almost 9 years and credits her quest for knowledge about how to find the right marriage partner and her work with a coach in helping her to realize this goal after a painful divorce in her mid 30's.

Aiming primarily at both female and male adults ages 35-55, both never married and divorced individuals, Coach Amy shares her insights in a variety of convenient ways: online web content-articles and her blog (www.MotivatedtoMarry.com), speeches and workshops, tele-classes, one-on-one and group coaching and her book, Get It Right This Time-How to Find and Keep Your Ideal Romantic Relationship available on both her website and Amazon.com. Her sage counsel is based on her own dating/relationship research - hundreds of respondents to her questionnaires - input from friends as well as her own life experiences.
