💡 Pro Tips
Best model for this prompt
Claude
Claude (Opus 4 / Sonnet 4)
Lead with your most impressive metric — the context (company name, years of experience) is secondary
Your one-liner is hardest to write — spend as long on 20 words as you do on 700
Match formality to context — a Twitter bio and a conference programme bio have completely different constraints
Include one human detail — it's what people remember after everything else blurs together
Starting with 'passionate about...' — most overused phrase in professional bios
Listing your entire career history chronologically — start with what you're most proud of now
Not ending with a clear next step — website, LinkedIn, or specific CTA
Writing the same bio for every platform — adapt format and tone to each context
- First or third person?Third person for: speaker bios, press kits, contributor profiles, LinkedIn About (professional credibility). First person for: email signatures, Substack About, direct email introductions. Use the convention of the platform.
- How often to update?Every 6–12 months, or whenever you have a meaningful new achievement. Out-of-date bios mentioning roles you left 5 years ago as current actively damage credibility.
- What if I don't have impressive metrics?Use qualitative scope: 'Led the redesign of [Product] from MVP to 10,000 users' or 'Built the company's first customer success function from scratch'. Scope and scale matter even without specific percentages.
- Should LinkedIn bio match website bio?Consistent in tone and core facts but not identical. LinkedIn benefits from keywords for search. Website can be warmer and more personal. Both should reflect the same career narrative.
