Or maybe you&#8217;re just revising your site, and you know your bio needs a refresh. Whatever the reason, writing a bio can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Writing a bio for a website is a great opportunity for you to explain who you are while also establishing yourself as the expert in your field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An about page is actually not about you at all<\/strong>, but about your customers. It\u2019s how you can help them solve their problem, whatever that problem may be!<\/p>\n<h2>Ready to write your\u00a0bio? Follow this format:<\/h2>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1207 \" src=\"https:\/\/fcpine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/About-page-bio-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fcpine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/About-page-bio-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/fcpine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/About-page-bio-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/fcpine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/About-page-bio-610x915.png 610w, https:\/\/fcpine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/About-page-bio.png 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/>The first section should include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>First Name<\/li>\n<li>Last Name<\/li>\n<li>Your Elevator Pitch<\/li>\n<li>Your \u201cWhy\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>In the second section, include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Your accolades<\/li>\n<li>Any relevant education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>In the last section, include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>More of your personality<\/li>\n<li>Who you are OUTSIDE of work (Do you make a mean batch of fudge? (I do!) Do you love to attend sporting events with your kids? Do you love to read romance novels to your dog? Let your readers know.)<\/li>\n<li>One or two personal facts so your audience gets to know YOU<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Finally, include a call to action.<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss an opportunity to call your readers to do something! Now that they understand more of who you are, take this opportunity to guide them to their next step. Does your website encourage people to work with you? Include the same CTA on your about page.<\/p>\n<h2>Make sure your bio matches your brand personality.<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure you write your bio in a way that is FOR your potential customers. So, for example, don\u2019t say \u201cI love to write books! It brings me such joy!\u201d Instead, say something like \u201cWriting is a way to share the love of music with children around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If your bio feels inconsistent with the rest of your brand,\u00a0your customers may feel an uncomfortable sense of disconnect. If your bio is on brand, you bring a sense of consistency and trust to this important page on your site!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Want help writing your bio?<\/h2>\n<p>I can do that.
