Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Most people spend hours writing the perfect post. They spend 30 seconds on their bio.
That's the problem — because the bio is the first thing anyone sees before deciding whether to follow.
Not the posts. Not the profile picture. The bio.
A reader lands on a profile, scans 15 words, and makes a call. If those 15 words don't tell them exactly what they'll get — they leave.
There's a fix. It takes 10 minutes.
🧩 You provide:
What you do or write about (one sentence)
Who your content is for (one sentence)
One credibility point — a result, a number, or a past role
🍿 What you get:
First — five complete bio options, each built from a different proven template
Then — a clear recommendation for which one fits your audience best right now
Finally — a ready-to-paste bio you can put live on your profile today
⛳️ Here's the scenario
Nina had spent six months building her coaching practice.
She helped first-time freelancers land their first three clients — no portfolio, no agency background, no cold outreach.
She attracted clients through Twitter posts and word of mouth.
But her bio read: "Helping people do what they love. Freelance coach. Dog mum. Coffee obsessed."
She'd click on her own profile and wince.
She was working late in a hotel lobby — laptop open, half-empty glass beside her.
The woman at the next table glanced over.
Quiet. Sharp. Understated.
Turned out she'd spent 20 years writing brand positioning for consumer companies. She'd helped launch accounts that grew to 100,000 followers in under a year. (Nina nearly dropped her iced tea.)
The woman looked at the screen.
❌ What Nina had: "Helping people do what they love. Freelance coach. Dog mum. Coffee obsessed."
✅ What it became: "I help first-time freelancers land their first 3 clients — no portfolio, no cold outreach. Former recruiter. Sharing everything I've learned."
Same person. Completely different signal.
"How did you do that?" Nina said.
"Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole mapped this out years ago," the woman said. "Five bio types. Each one forces a different kind of decision in the reader's head."
"Most bios try to say everything and end up signalling nothing," she continued. "A good bio tells the right reader: you're in the right place."
"The best bio you can write today isn't the most impressive one — it's the most specific one."
She slid a napkin across the table.
"One prompt. Five options. A recommendation. Ten minutes."
Nina opened her AI sidekick and got to work.
🎯 Step 1: Generate your five bio options and pick the best one
⏱️ 10 minutes
This prompt builds five complete bios from five different templates — then tells you exactly which one to use.
Here's what it produces:
❌ Before: "Marketing consultant. Sharing what I learn. Dog dad. Building in public."
✅ After: "The Outcome Bio: I help B2B consultants land their first $10K retainer — without a big following or paid ads.
The Aspirational Brand Bio: The Solo Consultant. Building a $500K consulting practice without employees — and sharing every step at [yoursite.com].
The Credible Talker Bio: I talk about B2B client acquisition. Helped 40+ consultants replace their agency income. Former Head of Sales @ [Company].
The Credible Category Bio: Top B2B consultant turned coach. 12 years, 3 industries, $2M in contracts closed. Stop chasing clients. Start attracting them.
The Specialist Bio: Client acquisition for B2B consultants. Founder @ [Company]. Sales strategist & coach. Featured in [Publication].
→ Best pick for your audience: The Outcome Bio. Your readers are at the 'I want my first retainer' stage — not the 'I want to build a big brand' stage. This bio meets them exactly where they are and makes one specific promise."
[Nina's AI sidekick filled in the remaining sections...]
Here's the prompt that did that:
I want to write a strong Twitter/X bio. Here are my details:
What I do / write about: {e.g. helping first-time freelancers
land their first 3 clients}
Who my content is for: {e.g. people who just quit their job and
want to go freelance but have no idea where to start}
My credibility: {e.g. former recruiter, placed 200+ candidates,
now freelancing full-time}
My product or service (if any): {e.g. 1-on-1 coaching, $500/month}
Using the details above, write 5 Twitter/X bios — one for each
template below.
Bio 1 — The Outcome Bio:
Template: I help [target audience] use [mechanism] to
[achieve specific outcome with a number]
Example: "I help hospitals use big data to reduce readmission
rates by 17%"
Bio 2 — The Aspirational Brand Bio:
Template: [Your unique brand name or label].
[Aspirational target goal with a number] and
[what the audience gets from following you]
Example: "The Diversified Solopreneur. Building my one-person
business to $5M+ and sharing everything I learn along the way."
Bio 3 — The Credible Talker Bio:
Template: I talk about [topic].
[Result for a specific number of people].
[Credible past experience]
Example: "I talk about digital leverage. Helped 10,000+ people
start writing. Former @Blackrock trader turned digital builder."
Bio 4 — The Credible Category Bio:
Template: [Qualitative credibility statement].
[Credibility with numbers].
[Bold category point of view]
Example: "One of the world's top ghostwriters. 3 companies,
6 books, 500M+ views. Stop freelancing. Start premium
ghostwriting."
Bio 5 — The Specialist Bio:
Template: [What you do] for [target audience].
[Your role] @ [company].
[Description of yourself]. [Social proof]
Example: "Bite-size copywriting for busy pros. Founder @
Copyforest. Conversion copywriter & coach.
Ad World 2022 speaker."
Rules:
- Use numbers wherever possible (outcomes, goals, credibility)
- Write in sentence case
- Keep each bio under 160 characters
- Be specific — vague bios lose followers before they even
hit Follow
Finally — review all five bios above and pick the single best
one for my specific audience.
Tell me which one you picked and explain in 2-3 sentences why
it will work best for them right now.
Nina ran it and got five completely different versions of herself.
Each one made a different promise to a different kind of reader.
Here's the thing — she'd spent months trying to sound interesting. She should have been trying to sound specific.
The more specific the bio, the less it appeals to everyone. The more it pulls in exactly the right person.
🏆 Nina's results
Before:
Bio full of personality words that said nothing about who she helped
Visitors to her profile had no idea what she actually did
Losing potential followers every day without knowing it
After:
Five complete bio options generated in one run
One clear recommendation — no guesswork, no second-guessing
New bio live in 10 minutes. First three new followers came in the same day.
Total time: 10 minutes. Not 10 rewrites.
Her AI sidekick built five options and made the call. Nina confirmed it, hit save, and moved on. BAM.
One prompt. Five complete bio options. A clear recommendation sitting right there at the bottom.
The right bio doesn't try to speak to everyone. It tells the right reader they've found exactly what they were looking for.
That's it, my fellow outliers!
