Your Squidoo Bio (biography) tells your readers who you are.  It lets them know you are a real person and somebody they can trust to be knowledgeable in their topic.  All your hard work will be for naught if your visitors don’t trust you.

Your bio doesn’t have to be long and it doesn’t have to include your complete life story.  A few sentences should be enough as long as you choose your words wisely.  For example, if your topics are child related, you might want to mention that you are a Mom or Dad, or how many children you have.  If you write about gardening, it would be good to include the amount of years you’ve spent digging around in the dirt.  Your bio is also a good place to mention any degrees you might hold, as long as those degrees relate to your topics.
