How To Write A Short Professional Bio - PERSONAL Bio Example

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hey guys! A short professional bio is a key ingredient to any personal brand. Comment down below with what you biggest question or frustration is when it comes to building a personal brand.

[@jschultzf3]

Separating out the 'business' side of the brand with the 'personal' side of the brand...that's so hard!

[@SimpleMarketingAcademy]

I never considered adding a call to action. Great tips!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hey Jill! How are you my friend? A call to action is so key in a personal bio. Thanks so much for watching.

[@SimpleMarketingAcademy]

haha...I think mine have just been factual! I love yours! Stealing your template! :)

[@nonviablevenus9206]

I'm not sure this will reach you by the time I am finished writing one, but what advice would you give to someone creating a bio for an audience that is a non-profit and base of people they serve? The person whose bio I am working on has experience at a high corporate level, has volunteered quite a bit and wants to continue to be active in causes while crafting and maintaining a corporate image.

[@Kotshfares]

1. IDENTIFY YOUR AUDIENCE. 2. START WITH A POWERFUL FIRST SENTENCE. 3. TELL A COMPELLING STORY. 4. INCLUDE A CALL TO ACTION. 5. WRAP IT UP WITH PERSONALITY.

[@arisingnextlevel6765]

I'm New here 😅 l wrote your 5 points down - l'm, going to work on my approach aka my BIO 👍😄 ~ l'm just beginning my Business Page 😮

[@_the.encourager]

What if you dont do much with your life but you've got to write a bio😁. How do we impress people without lying😂 cause you've got a lot going for you but when I look at my life... let's just say we may have one sentence. Which would be my name😂😂

[@arisingnextlevel6765]

🙋😄,, Hi, l'm new to this Site & Gonna do my Best @ Creating my very First Bio - l'm new to Creating my Business Account, l'm green 🟢 @ Everything ~ But, I'm gonna do my best 👍😄🙋

[@RVersity]

This was something I struggled with for a while. When I started RVersity I learned this was way easier when you are doing something you love (or know who you are / what you are talking about) Gotta know your audience!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

I totally agree! Knowing your audience is so important when writing a bio. This helps you better target those that need your services. Thanks so much for watching.

[@VictoriaLioznyansky]

I've struggled with my bio for sure! Particularly with the very short one, you know, the one that's 1-2 sentences long. Thank you for all the steps to make the bio shine. And I loved your personal example!

[@dailydoseofrandomvideos5482]

Short and to the point. I learnt something today in 2022.

[@AbbiWinslow]

We are working to get my husband a new job amd I've been binge watching your videos! Love all your tips!!!

[@chazangunn22]

Thank you very much Heather I am 12 and I got a homework on bio and your idea made me got 100 %thanks hope more people will support you ✌️🤜

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hi there buddy! So happy to hear you got 100%. You must be a good student.

[@AmandaHorvath]

This is GREAT. I seriously needed this. Writing a bio is surprisingly haaaaard. I use a similar formula for brand videos and never thought to apply it to my bio. This really helps.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

I agree Amanda! Writing a bio can be a pain. Hopefully these tips for writing a bio will help you.

Great video, Heather. It's so important to have a quick and insightful bio. As I mentioned, "Telling a Story" is so interesting and so relevant. Great job!

[@SueFerreira75]

Professor Heather Austin, great advice - the need to differentiate ourselves is so important.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

I totally agree that to stand out, we need to be different. A good bio can certainly help with this. Thanks for watching.

[@girasoldespeinado]

Thanks a bunch😍 I wrote my KZbin channel bio with these powerful and practical tips. So helpful!

[@tomi1964]

Heather in the Jobs/Career section on LinkedIn, I am not sure what I should list under "What job titles are you considering?" and "Which industries do you prefer?" I am concerned that I will limit possibilities if I am too specific. What do you suggest?

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Susan, great question. My recommendation would be to list industry's and positions that interest you most, without listing a options outside of your targeted area. Get as specific as you can. Which areas are your targeting now?

[@SandraRolus]

Thank you Heather!!! Love this

Namaste Heather, Great knowledge share. Thanks!! For BD meeting, I prefer to start with authority statement and then key achievements and skill set. After that I give one or two statements on use of my skill set on the given assignment. Then start further discussions. Would like to know your thoughts. Would be more interested to know tips on "brief introduction" during Corporate meetings.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Kiran, I love the idea of start with an authority statement and then moving into key achievements. Be careful, however that you don't come off too boastful. You want to show your authority without bragging. Does that help?

Can you write a bio from the first-person perspective? I find that writing style more conversational and easy to read.

Hi Heather, I enjoyed the video and clicked the link for the FREE resume template but it led me to a page to buy something. I may buy something in the future but was disappointed that there was not a free template. Can you help me with this?

Hi there Maria! Thanks for the comment. You should have received your free template via email. Did you check there? Also, the page you saw was for our Black Friday special. No pressure to buy anything. The free template has helped thousands of people land a new job. I hope it helps you do the same. Thanks again.

How To Write A Short Professional Bio - PERSONAL Bio Example Professor Heather Austin 230K subscribers I found myself very confident after the video sharing, taking notes was easy.

[@asbestosrecuperation]

Summary: 4 rules. 1. (1:23) Identify your audience. 2. (1:55) Start with the powerful first sentence. 3. (2:29) Tell a compelling story. 4. (2:39) Include a call to action. And now my rant: Holy moly, you took them 4 sentences and made 272 seconds worth of "content" out of them. Probably the same amount of time required to produce it. Moments of my youth that shall be gone for ever. And for what? Because you wanted to make more ca$h on your video, by extending it's length. Talk about selfish. Either way, good job, Professor, don't take it too personally - it's the internet, we have mean people over here.
