What’s the benefit of writing a detailed bio for my profile?

When you write a robust Bio in your profile -- one that describes your likes, talents, hobbies, and skills –- you increase your chances of people finding you in a search.

Yes, you may have posted a few Offers. And that’s good! But you can also share even more skills with members by including that info in your Bio. When someone uses the search bar at the top of the hOurworld webpage and enters a word like "sew” or “computer” or “garden” --- the search will return matches in both Offers AND Bios. And, your Bio never expires, while Offers and Requests do. So write a detailed Bio. It will increase your opportunity for exchanges!
