Don’t give them any reason to think any less!!!
And just write it! Get something down and tweak it from there.
You can do it! You are great!

Great advice Jen! I need to do this.
Excellent advice!
Its especially difficult for a shy person to write a selling bio. The enthusiasm in your posts makes it feel easier.
Hi Jen,
Thanks for the tips. I just had to write a bio for a feature coming up in a magazine and it was challenging. This is great advice thanks so much.

Very timely and helpful Jen. As I begin to market my upcycled furniture and handmade items, I’m realizing I need to market MYSELF as well. As artists, I think we like to sideline ourselves and let the products we make shine…but folks are really interested in us, what motivates us, who we are. Kinda like how People magazine tells us the ‘behind the scenes’ of famous folks. Just hearing their music or seeing their movies isn’t enough. Not that we need to share the dirt, but that we need to recognize folks’ need to ‘know’ us a bit before they are sold on our product. Make sense?
Sure hope to make it to another meet up someday. Fort Wayne isn’t so far away from Chicago. I still have great memories of that day!
I’ve just updated Jen, after reading this. Thank you so much!
Great suggestions! I’m in “sales” so I always have to toot my horn 🙂
Yours sounds great, Jen!
I’ve had to write my bio for several editorial pieces, and it always feels a bit awkward!
XOXO,
Anne
Such great advice Jen.. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and success at blogging and business. Your bio is at once informative and inspiring!!
That was great advice and you certainly have a way with words. I think it is a gift. Sometimes I it flows and other times I struggle. Does that happen with you?
Thank you so much. I’ve tried writing my bio over a dozen times and I’ve hated each one. It is painful to write something about myself and make it unique…. 🙁 *sigh* I’ll give it another shot!
Enjoyed your post. Thanks
I’m writing my first bio for blogging and your advice is the best I’ve found. I don’t feel quite so daunted now, thanks!
You’re very welcome Colleen!!
Great article. I’m going to print out the “Fake it til you make it” line just for a reminder.
