Here are 5 red flags that coaches should NOT include in their bio:

1. Information that has nothing to do with your brand can be unbeneficial. For example, if you say you love nature but never include it in your content, then it’s irrelevant. If you say you love animals and only just show your work it’s irrelevant. I think it’s great to have some fun facts about you. However, I would share that info on posts that are all about you. 

2. Listen, I know how cool special fonts can be. I mean I can be a sucker for them at times, but you shouldn’t include them. Why? They are way too distracting,  can be hard to read, and look unprofessional. 

3. The number one goal for coaches is to have someone book with them, but how can they book with you if you don’t tell them where to go? I’ve seen pages that just have a link but don’t include any reason why someone should click on it. If you don’t make a little context in your bio like “Sign up to book with me” or “Download my 5 free Tips” not many people are going to click on it. 

4. Hashtags are super unhelpful when it comes to your bio. It’s not going to have people discover you. It’s not going to help you reach people. It’s just there for show and tale and trust me they don’t look that great. Honestly, hashtags in a bio look unprofessional and a bit spammy. Rule of thumb, only include hashtags on your posts and reels.

5. I’ve talked about this before, but I will mention it again. Coaches, please include a profile picture of yourself. When someone is looking for a coach they are really looking for someone they can talk to. Well, how can they feel comfortable reaching out to you if they don’t know what you look like? Profile pictures are great because they show there is a human behind your business. A human they can relate to and feel comfortable talking to. So please, show your pretty face. 😄
