This is an important notification regarding the FREE acting, modeling and extras profiles at Handmealine.com

EFM Staff — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:58:25 GMT

Hi Everyone,

Hand me a line.com users are beginning to upload their materials but out of every 10 submissions, 9 have to be deleted because:

· No pictures are being uploaded

· Poor quality pictures are getting uploaded.

· Members are NOT reading the instructions regarding size of photos to upload or naming them properly as detailed.

· Users are not filling out the comments section on their profile that appears on their search page, this section is important too. When you fill out the comments section, that text appears on a search and helps generate clicks to your main profile page.

· New Members are NOT checking their profiles after they set them up to be sure that their spelling and photos are displaying properly.

The above is one of the reasons EFM discontinued the capability of members to manage their own pages.

We have not given up on keeping this ability, but this is causing a lot of work for the staff to police the web site for inappropriate or incomplete profiles. Please be advised you must READ everything carefully to set up your free profiles.

Below is the link to our blog post which is more detailed in how to upload and create your free profile on our sites.

If you are considering setting up a free profile on Handmealine.com web site:

1- Take the time to look at the current profiles. Your profile is a reflection on you.

2- Some profiles are perfect and others are not so good. Take a look at these profiles carefully and look at it from a casting person’s point of view. They are seeking specific criteria for their project.

Your profile speaks volumes about you to us and casting personnel including:

1- Can this person follow instructions?

2- Can I see the person face clearly?

3- Is this a person professional?

4- Does this person fit the character type I am seeking?

5- Does this person have talent?

6- Is this person reliable?

7- Did this person just throw up a profile with no thought or care?

8- Is this person reliable?

We will be deleting more profiles but are leaving a few on the site for others signing up to compare.

If you have already uploaded your profile, check it! If you are in the category of not completing your profile, it will get deleted. This does not mean you cannot re-sign up, it means you have to try again.

Check your profile often too because as more profiles are added, the incomplete or not displaying properly profiles will be deleted too, so if your web page is gone, you need to resign up and follow instructions.

IF YOU WANT TO FEEL OUR PAIN AND THE PAIN WE FEEL FOR PEOPLE WHO UPLOAD INAPPROIATE CONTENT, VISIT HANDMEALINE.COM FREQUENTLY AND CHECK OUT WHAT GETS UPLOADED ON A DAILY BASIS AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DELETE AS THE STAFF SPOTS THE OFFENDERS.
