Is Your Bio Boring?
If your bio says something like "living life one day at a time" or "just me being me" — it is time for a makeover. Generic bios blend in and get ignored.

The Makeover Process
- Audit: Read your current bio. What does a stranger learn about you?
- Research: Look at 5 bios in your niche that you admire
- Draft: Write 5 different versions
- Test: Use each for a week and compare profile visits
- Refine: Keep what works, discard what does not
