Raya Profile Tips: How To Upgrade Your Dating App Profile

You've earned a Raya membership and managed to get your Raya application approved, and now it's time to ensure your profile is the best that it can be.

There are a few things you should completely avoid as a Raya member when curating an attractive profile that helps you stand out from the rest. By avoiding these mistakes, you’ll be able to optimize your profile and attract the right woman on the dating site.

Here are the top don’t’s to avoid when creating your Raya profile.

1. Poor profile photo

Most dating apps are centered around a user's photos, and Raya is no different. Whether your first photo is grainy, low quality, a selfie, or a group photo – you don’t want to have a poor first photo as your profile photo.

This picture is your first impression and it sets the tone for how your dating experience will go on the app. Upload a high-quality photo of yourself to attract existing members on the app.

2. Blanks in your profile

Don’t leave blanks in your profile. Whether it be your bio, your profile, or any other piece of information, fill everything out. As a Raya member, you want to have a stellar Raya account that attracts other users. Don't worry if you didn't attend Harvard business school, as long as you have information about yourself, you'll be improving your profile. Women don’t want to be left with questions when looking through your profile, so make sure to fill out your profile and tell them about who you are.

3. Uploading random photos

Uploading random photos may work on other dating apps, but not on the Raya community. When you upload photos to your profile, don’t just upload random photos that don’t tell potential matches much about yourself.

Your photos should either be a clear photo of you, or a photo of you doing a hobby or passion of yours, to give potential matches an insight into who you are as a person.

4. Have a boring bio

If your bio is just listing facts about you that aren’t interesting or tell matches more about who you are – you won’t be attracting the right matches to your profile. Women see hundreds of profiles, so you need to make sure that yours stands apart from the rest. Add in some humor or an interesting fact no one knows about you to catch her attention.

Now that you know what could be hurting your success on the Raya dating app, it’s time to make a few changes to your profile that will help get you more matches. Here are our top tips that will transform your profile and get you more matches on the dating app.

1. Nail your profile pictures

Your profile photo is your first impression, so you need to catch the attention of potential matches fast and avoid looking like the average person. Here are a few tips that will help you nail your profile photo and get it right.

• Drop the selfies - to avoid looking pretentious, drop the selfies and upload photos that others have taken of you. This will show you have friends to take photos of you, and that you like to get active outside of the Raya dating app.

• Delete group photos – group photos rarely hit the marker, so to avoid leaving Raya members confused about who you are, delete your group photos.

• Get rid of poor-quality photos – no one with a Raya membership wants to see a grainy or poor-quality photo. You've managed to get on Raya- now you need to upload quality photos to attract members. Most members are influential people and famous members working in creative industries, so make sure your photos are up to Raya standards.

2. Use professional photos

High-resolution photos and professional photos perform very well on dating apps and will do well for you on Raya. Hire a professional photographer to take high-quality photos of you. Women want to see what you look like and don’t want to be left with any questions.

3. Write an interesting bio

If a woman likes your photos, the next thing she’ll look at is your bio. Your bio should give women an honest and interesting portrayal of who you are. Your bio is like your story – make sure it’s interesting and includes a story that will make her want to get to know you more.

4. Show off your proof points

Your proof points are small details in your profile that show your match that you are who you say you are. Women are constantly worried about getting catfished on dating apps – so they’ll be looking at your social proof points to make sure you’re not a fake profile.

Here are a few proof points you should add to your profile to make you more trustworthy:

• Verify your photos/account – dating apps will use your phone camera to confirm that you are the same person as the one in your photos, which gives your profile more credit.

• Add your job, education, and age – the more information you share, the more trusting women will be of your profile. Your job and education will show her you’re a real human being with a job.

• Link your Instagram account – Raya requires you to link your Instagram account to your profile, so make sure you have enough photos on the app, and have photos with friends that prove you’re a real person.

5. Be active

You don’t want to be inactive and be missing potential matches by not swiping right on women. It’s good to have standards, but make sure you’re not being too picky or inactive and missing potential opportunities for a connection.

6. Use new features of the app

Many of the features that dating apps like Raya rolls out are designed to help you improve your profile, or to improve your chances of getting noticed on the app. Use new features, and if you want to step up your game you can try upgrading to a Raya plus membership to get more exclusive features.

7. Find your niche

You can’t please everyone, especially on the Raya app. Many of the people on Raya are creatives or influencers – so there will be a lot of unique people on the app. You can’t appeal to everyone so instead, niche down and think about the type of woman you want to attract. Once you know the kind of woman you want to attract, you can curate your profile to intrigue her.

8. Send the first message

Don’t be shy, send that first message! There's no better way to start off on the right foot than by messaging other members first. It’s not easy to break the ice and your match will appreciate that you’re confident enough to start the conversation.

9. Don’t ghost

If you get a conversation started on the app or someone messages you, make sure to check your messages so you’re not ghosting them. If you ghost matches, women will either unmatch, block, or stop talking to you and you may not receive as many relevant potential matches.

10. Avoid mass swiping

It’s good to keep an open mind while swiping, but you don’t want to mass swipe right on every profile either. You may end up overwhelmed by all of your matches and your profile will become unorganized and hard to manage. Swipe with intention and only swipe on people you can see having a conversation with.

How do I make my Raya profile better?

To upgrade your Raya profile and make it better, focus on uploading high-quality profile pictures of yourself, writing an interesting bio, and adding your unique personality to your profile.

What should I write in my Raya app profile?

Your Raya app profile bio should set you apart from the rest of the members, so it's important you write a bio that tells a story, is interesting, and includes points that will intrigue other members. Add a unique fact about yourself or some humor to make potential matches laugh.
