How to Create a Killer Profile Summary

Thinking of starting a blog? One of the dreaded tasks most newbies struggle with is the profile summary and rightfully so. It’s hard to sum up who you are in 100 words or less. How do you cram in every nugget of goodness of what makes you interesting to others into one short blurb? While it may be difficult to start the process, writing a killer profile summary is easier than you may think.

Here are some tips for penning a killer profile summary:
– Before you being writing, brainstorm 3-4 keywords that represent you and your brand. Use them as the catalysis for crafting your overall message.
– Pair your summary with a strong headshot.
– Include hyperlinks as needed. This provides an opportunity for others to explore more about who you are.
– Edit, edit, edit. Make sure your summary is straightforward and to the point. Edit through your first draft removing unnecessary words that distract from the main content.

Avoid Canned Phrases
A profile summary should be unique to you and truly represent your personality. One quick way to kill any sense of genuineness is by offering your readers a canned synopsis of what you are all about. More often than not, beginner bloggers write what they think they are supposed to be (i.e. a loving wife and mother) rather than adding a distinctive spin to their summary. While you may in fact be a loving wife and mother, many other bloggers are as well. Find what is special about you and share that to truly engage your readers.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
