This is really great advice. This is also really aligned with Geo guidance – tell them who you are in the first three sentences. I’m in the process of updating mine and I will be definitely incorporating this advice.

Thank you, Adriana. That connection with GEO is exactly what I’m starting to think about too.

A profile has to work for humans first, but it also needs to be clear enough for AI and search systems to understand who you are, who you help, and why someone should care.

What a coincidence. I redid my profile bio yesterday with all those questions you asked. This reinforces it. Thanks for the valuable information.

Thank you, that’s great timing 🙂

Sounds like you had already started fixing the foundation before reading it.

I’d be curious to hear if changing the bio affects the kind of people who subscribe, not just the number.

I have been using your plug in and it has got better results. So first of all, let me endorse that wholeheartedly.

Secondly, I have been gaining followers through notes. I am fine by it. Even though my subscribers count has plateaued in recent times, I am not worried as it has still been gaining followers..

Your analysis is something I have always valued because it doesnt offer a complicated 10 step process which is tiresome, most of us are building something on the side and substack is not our primary task, as of now at least, your analysis offers simpler changes which are effective. So thank you for your work. Keep doing that please.
