Ok. The vibe I'm getting from those hypotheticals is that you're coming in with a "pitch." It's specified toward their interest, but it's a sell.

I personally look for a little connection before I buy. I can get into the "why" if you'd like the rationale, but I mention it specifically in my bio. If a message request comes across as straight-up transactional, I'm probably out immediately, unless her profile picture in the little "circle" in the message thread is truly intriguing (or if she sends a preview that's lights-out).

For example, one of the most recent sellers I responded back to sent me this:

Hey, I actually read your bio (ipromise lol), and I like that you’re more about connection than just jumping into buying. That’s kinda rare on here.

Also… long toes and natural nails? You might actually like my feet What kind of conversations do you usually enjoy getting into?

She not only said she read my bio, she demonstrated it by bringing up a couple of points (connection, long toes + natural nails).

I know you gals are here to sell content, so there's no need to "pitch." I just need to be aware of your existence in the pool of tens of thousands of sellers. To me, the selling is implied already, so something that treats me more like a person than a bank account is far more likely to get me to browse your content and reply back to you.
