Thanks to my Twitter pal and honorary nephew Christopher Flores for connecting me to “guide to all things traffic” the inimitable Jack Humphrey. Chris, if you don’t know him, writes the Merchant of New York City blog which is a great read. Be sure to follow him on Twitter too!

So Jack Humphrey (pictured)… how can you not love a burly,  eco-friendly, survivalist Dad who loves Metallica? Just reading his AMAZING and hysterical online bio made me feel like we went to high school together. Truly, read his bio and learn what it means to write in your own style, with pizazz and sizzle.



Jack interviewed me on his Webside Chat where I shared about my soft-sell approach to online marketing, relationship building, and even some tips for the socially reluctant. Recluse bloggers, listen up: you too can carve a comfy nook in the spotlight.

  • You make a good point about writing a professional bio. I think for most people the hardest part of writing a professional bio is choosing what to put in and what to leave out. Because after all, a bio is supposed to be short. But most of us have done lots of different things in our work careers. How do you decide what to focus on?

    There's a simple answer: focus on what's going to be most relevant and impressive to your target reader!

    You see, a bio is not a resume. You don't have to list everything you've ever done. Just focus on the parts that are going to "sell" you to your reader.

    For example, when I wrote my bio for my site http://www.HowToWriteBio.com, I focused on my technical writing and business coaching background - which is the information that shows that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to writing bios.

    Because that's what potential clients want to know about me in this context. They don't really care about all the other types of jobs I have held.

    A bio is a little advertisement for you. So think about who will be reading your bio and what you want them to know about you. Then advertise your best and most relevant features!
  • Tia Nancy! LOL

    I knew from the beginning you were perfect for the guest spot. It was just a matter of time. I think I picked the right one before hitting my Giant Red Connector Button to facilitate a SUPERNOVA of top notch social media talk.

    A blog is a must-have for doing business in the 21st century. This interview makes a great compliment to the step by step blog training we receive inside Blog Success.

    I'm actually going over to the interview page right now to check up on the convo :)
