For example, don’t just state that you are an article writer, state that you are an article writer specialized on blogposts (if you are about to bid for a blogposts task) with two years experience, currently am running a successful blog known as *** and this is the link you can use to access my blog. You can go ahead to give more information to support the fact that you can handle the task you are about to bid (on your bio).

2. Show your true face. Potential clients want to see the face of the person with whom they intend to work with.
