Short and to the point bio's are becoming increasingly more important. Especially in this world of information overload. When someone reads your bio, they want to quickly know who you are, what makes you unique, what you have to offer them and where they can go to learn more about you.

So let's jump into how to write a short professional bio. Step number one is to identify your audience. Consider the audience before you craft your bio.

You want to think about where your bio will be seen and tailor it for who will see it. For example, the bio on your website will be more in-depth and detailed than the bio on one of your social platforms such as Twitter or Instagram. This means that you'll have a few slightly different variations of your bio and that's okay.

This leads us to step number two to write a short professional bio and that is to start with the powerful first sentence. You only have a few seconds to grab the attention of your audience, so your first sentence needs to be a good one. Begin by stating who you are what your audience can expect from you and how you are going to solve a particular pain point that they might have.

This leads us to step number three to write a short professional bio and that is to tell a compelling story. To keep your audience around longer, tell a story about your greatest accomplishments and what makes you different. Engage them with why you are unique and how you became an authority on your topic.

Step number four to write a short professional bio is to include a call to action. To get your audience to take the next step, make sure you include some type of call to action that leads them to learn more about you. This can be something as simple as sharing your website or letting them know what social platform you're most active on or giving a link to a free offer that you have for them.

In your call to action, explain the benefits they'll receive from taking action such as a transformation or some type of achievement. Step number five is to wrap it up with personality. List something personal that makes you more human and helps your audience to relate to you.

So here's an example of a bio that I recently used as a guest on a podcast. "Heather knows firsthand the overwhelm and frustration of the job search. For the past 13 years she has taught thousands of students how to build their personal brand so that they can land their dream job and succeed in the marketplace.
