* Inspire Confidence in Searchers: If you have tens of thousands of members, mention that you have “tens of thousands of genuine singles”.
* Include Seasonal References: Affirm what the searcher is looking for, for example, “New year, new love” and “Find Valentine’s Love” work better than “Online Dating Site”.
* Use dynamic text: Increase your chances of highly relevant ads by using dynamic text in your ad titles, so a user searching for “London singles” will see your ad that had been set up as “Find {keyword}”... they’ll see it in their results as “Find London Singles”.
* Calls to Action: Encourage searchers to “Join the fun” or “Find love”.
* Brand Your Ads: Make sure you include the brand name within the ad copy. If you are advertising offline or running a display campaign the brand recognition will encourage clicks.
* Include Your Promotion Info: If you have an offer, such as 30-days free membership, make sure to say so in your ad copy.

Seven Easy Money-Making Ideas for the Day of Love from How to Make Money This Valentine's Day series

Valentine's Day is an international day of love and caring, and it also can be a great money-making opportunity for you. Here are seven easy ways to make big bucks on the Day of Love:

1. Valentine's Day Babysitting - All parents dream of going out for dinner on Valentine's Day, but they often can't find a sitter in time. Here's where you come in: if you're good with kids, have character references, and have CPR training or certification, you can make 12+ dollars an hour babysitting on a busy holiday such as February 14th. Advertise on Craigslist and Backpage.com, as well as on local bulletin boards to find a great babysitting gig. You can work for whoever bids highest for you, and if you're good, they might hire you as a more permanent caregiver after Valentine's Day, which will lead to even more money for you.

2. Sell Hand-Made Valentines - If you're artistically inclined, design a hand-made Valentine and make a few dozen copies. Post your design on CafePress.com and sell your design at craft fairs and Valentine's Day events. With your design, people will be able to hand out beautiful hand-made valentines to their friends, family, and co-workers. You can charge $3-$10 for every 5-pack of cards you sell, depending on your skill level and marketing skills.

3. Sell Chocolate-Covered Strawberries - Chocolate-covered strawberries are a great Valentine's Day treat, and they're easy to make an sell. All you need is a cooler, lots of tiny plastic food boxes, dipping chocolate, and a few dozen strawberries. Advertise your business online before Valentine's Day, and set up shop on a street corner or in front of a grocery store. You can sell berries for a $1 or $1.50 each, and if you accent your berries with nuts, sprinkles, or confectioner's gold dust, you can charge even more.

4. Write Love Letters - If you're a talented writer, then volunteer to write love letters for your friends and acquaintances- for a fee, of course. Create a few basic examples of different kinds of love letters, and charge $5-$15 for each completed love letter. Advertise by word of mouth as well as online to get the most customers possible.

5. Sell Your Old Jewelry - If you have jewelry lying around the house that you can't stand to wear because its from an ex or its just not your style, you can sell it online for a very high profit around Valentine's Day, the time when everyone is searching for jewelry to buy. Post your piece or pieces on TripleClicks, EBay and Craigslist, and you'll soon get some great offers for it. You'll make money on something you would have never worn anyway while changing a pricey liability into cash.

6. Be a kissogram - Ever heard of a kissogram? It’s basically a person that delivers kisses, rather than messages, and it’s not too hard to become one, particularly if you're a bit of a looker.

You can expect to earn an average of £150 for the day. But be warned, you will need to dress sexily and be pretty out-going and unembarrassed. If you don’t think you’d feel comfortable running around delivering kisses then there’s always the option of becoming a gorilla-gram. That would require you to dress up in a gorilla suit and do a little dance for your customers - the choice is yours.

7. Be a romantic photographer - You don’t necessarily have to be a brilliant photographer to make money: pick up a Polaroid camera from Amazon and have a walk around the romantic hotspots in your area on the special day. Polaroid cameras take photographs and instantly print them out with a little space to write a message at the bottom, perfect for romantic moments. Offer to take photographs of couples for a small fee and see how you go. A friendly, fun and chatty manner will really help to sell your service.

You could combine it with selling them flowers or chocolates too. Just make sure your price is high enough to cover the cost of the film.

With its enormous popularity, Valentine's Day is a great time to make some extra money. I hope these ideas have given you some valuable ideas and tips. Happy Valentine's Day!
