Anatomy of a Profile That Books Work

What every working profile has — and yours probably doesn’t.

The five elements clients scan

1. Avatar — clear face, neutral background, smiling. (Yes, smiling beats serious in every A/B test we’ve run.)
2. Headline — one sentence: what you do · for whom · with what outcome.
3. Bio first paragraph — they read this and ~25% of the second one. Front-load.
4. Portfolio thumbnails — must look clean even at 200px wide.
5. Reviews / signals of trust — even one is enough. Strategy for getting your first one comes in lesson 3.
