Seven Great Reasons Why Every Writer Should Write Up A Bio

Yet another great way to succeed on Illumination.

A bio, short for biography, is a great way for you to make progress as a writer on Illumination and Illumination-Curated. Below I have outlined the main benefits of doing a bio for you as a writer.

A bio is....

.....a way to grow your readership, as well as make new friends.

.....a relationship marketing exercise which allows your readers to get to know you. By forming a relationship, your readers will come to know what to expect from you and will learn to trust you to deliver the goods.

.....a branding exercise in which readers will learn to recognise your core values as a person and writer, and the unique selling points of your writings.

A bio also.....makes it more likely that readers will keep an eye out for your writings and as such this can.....

.....lead to increased reads which..........leads to more money!

All of which makes for a successful, prosperous and happy writer.

We have lots of writers who have done a bio and are, as I speak, reaping the benefits. A bio is a pretty easy thing to do. If you click on the link to my own bio below you will see an example of what I'm talking about.

Of course, your bio can be shorter or longer. The important thing is that you are letting the reader get to know you and your writings.

After you have done that you can request to join our Slack channel and get to know lots of other aspirational writers just like you.

Remember, people love personal articles about real people with a story to tell. And there is no better story to tell than your very own! And don't forget to add a great photo so that people can relate to you the person visually.
