Also I would try to keep your profile looking nice. If you try to add people with more money they may look at your profile first. You should try to make it not look boring but don't make it cluttered. Also put some stuff about you or what you like in it so they can know what you are like before they add you. If you page is boring and has nothing on it they may think you have know idea what you are doing on gaia and might not add you just because they don't want to teach you how to do everthing. ((Hehe I feel bad because I do that. )) Away you can make it look nice is change the colors on the texts, put pictures on it, or find a nice background picture. Maybe even give the hole profile a makeover using CSS coding.
Another thing you should keep looking nice is your sig. In forums people look at them. Thats a quick way for them you see what your about and to thing that they want to be friends with you.
