We have a tendency to write our online biographies as if they are resumes. Even worse is when we write them full of inside jokes or self-deprecating humor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do business with people we know, like, and trust. Your online bios need to show your human side. Are you into golf? Let\u2019s talk about it. Do you have children, design tattoos, or grow watermelons? Let\u2019s talk about your PHP skills in your case studies and leave the resumes for LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this workshop, we will all rewrite our bios. I\u2019ll be helping you with the formula I came up with for over 40 speaker bios I\u2019ve written for WordCamp speakers. You will leave this workshop with a finished product you can apply to your sites immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
