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😂😂

[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!

[andylacivita]

Wonderful video Heather! Loved the five steps, especially the one on personality!

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

[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!
