How to write bios that convert lurkers into clients

Your bio is the ONLY thing standing between a profile visitor and the follow button. Between a lurker and a DM. Between browsing and buying.

And right now? 99% of bios are generic word salad that converts nobody.

Your bio isn't just text. It's a conversion system.

Today, I'm giving you an AI prompt to generate high-converting bios for LinkedIn, X, and Instagram—the same approach that helped me build a Substack bestseller in 6 months and land $5K+/month clients.

Why your bio matters more than your content

You could have the best content on the platform. Doesn't matter if your bio doesn't convert.

Think about it. Someone discovers your killer post. They click your profile to learn more. Then what?

If your bio doesn't immediately answer "What's in it for me?"—they're gone.

The reality check:

  • Profile visitors make split-second decisions about following

  • Your bio is the first (and often only) thing they read

  • Most creators treat their bio like a resume when it should be a sales page

And it needs to work across three completely different platforms with different audiences, character limits, and best practices.

The bio optimization framework

Here's what actually works for bio optimization:

Now here's where it gets interesting.

Each platform needs a completely different execution of these principles. LinkedIn rewards search optimization. X demands personality-first hooks. Instagram requires visual hierarchy with emojis.

Trying to write all these variations manually? That's hours of work.

The bio generator prompt

This prompt generates 3-5 high-converting bio options for each platform. It handles character limits, formatting requirements, and platform-specific best practices automatically.

All you need to provide is your context—achievements, audience, topics, goals.

The AI handles the rest.

Here is the prompt:
