Write a three-line Instagram bio for your tutoring business
Practice: Asking for a format you can use. About 5 minutes.
About this exercise
You're a college junior running a math tutoring side business for high schoolers, and you need an Instagram bio. Write exactly 3 lines, under 25 words total: line 1 what you do and for whom, line 2 the current price, line 3 how to book. Use the new price, don't claim grade guarantees, and no hashtags. Plain text.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Not giving the line order. The AI writes a jumbled bio that buries the price or booking. Try: Set it: "Line 1 what and for whom, line 2 price, line 3 how to book."
- Using the old price. The old bio and notes say $30. Try: Add: "Price is $35/hour now."
- Copying the old bio's promises. The AI keeps "guaranteed results", SAT prep and hashtags. Try: Add: "No guarantees, no SAT, no hashtags."
- Trusting the AI to count words. Bios come back long, with emoji on every line. Try: Cap each line: "Each line under 7 words."
- Getting formatting. The AI adds a bold label for each line. Try: Add: "Plain text, just the 3 lines."
What a strong prompt includes
