The Long and Short Bio
Writing a bio is a painful process for most professionals. Most people have a hard time sifting through the important and unimportant details of their lives, picking which to tell others about. I’m certainly one of those who finds it torturous.
I recently wrote a post over at Curiouser Editing covering the topic of bios and blurbs. The long and the short of my post over at Curiouser editing is that every professional should keep three bios in their arsenal—a mini, short, and long bio. I promised in the post to give them examples of the long and short bio. Here are my examples.
The long bio:
Mindy Schoeneman is a content marketer helping businesses create connections to the right customers through sincere marketing. She writes website content, press releases, blog posts, email blasts, and anything else involving words for a business. She enjoys taking the personality of her clients and conveying it through words. Helping a business put into words why they do what they do the way they do it is her absolute favorite thing to do.
She grew up in the woods of Franklin County, Missouri. She spent most days trying her best to avoid critters that bite, such as snakes. She has a healthy fear of snakes and permanent emotional scarring from having three obnoxious older brothers. But she wouldn’t change a thing about her childhood.
These days she is a little closer to civilization, but only because the internet service is better. On a typical day you will find her in her home office with her laptop and at least one of her two assistants, Emma and Morgan, who love to help her write. Emma is always happy to add her two cents to every project.
But, seriously…
Mindy began as a freelance writer in 2013, making the move to full-time writer in 2014. February 2, 2015, after a lot of dithering about a name, she formed Sincerely, Me LLC and never looked back. She has helped a variety of businesses make more sales by refining their brand message and driving traffic to their websites with helpful content. Take a look at an example of her website content or some of her innovative content used to make customers form a connection with a business.

I started with my name and then got straight to the point. I expressed the core facts of my business before throwing in some personal details and showing a bit of my personality. The next bit shows more of my personality and a few facts about me before wrapping things up with some of my qualifications and links to some samples of my work. I clearly stated my call to action and directed the reader where I want them to go.

I started with my name and then stuck to the core of my business. I moved on to some of my qualifications, a couple links to samples of my work, and finished it up with a call to action. I clearly stated where I can be found.
