Your bio converts visits into follows. Most bios optimize for the wrong audience (people who already follow you) instead of the right one (people deciding whether to follow). This checklist re-orients the bio toward conversion.

Common questions
How often should I update my X bio?+
Every 60-90 days if you're growing actively. The bio drifts: your specialty narrows, your credentials evolve, your audience shifts. Quarterly review keeps the bio current. Static bios from 6+ months ago usually no longer represent the account.
Should my bio mention what I'm building or selling?+
Yes, briefly. A 5-word product mention ('building [product] for [audience]') is valuable. Long bios that lead with the product over the person convert worse than person-first bios.
What's the worst bio mistake?+
Mentioning everything you do. Bios that list 6 roles ('founder, writer, podcaster, advisor, investor, coach') confuse the algorithm and visitors. Pick 2-3 most prominent. Specialists outconvert generalists at the bio-level.
