So instead of sharing with your readers a link to your website’s home page share with them a link to your lead magnet funnel.

Here is an example bio box so you get the idea:

About the Author: Karen Johnson is the founder of WeightLossTips.com. She helps busy moms eat better and lose weight. Check out this link right here for 40+ Keto diet recipes.

Inside the bio box is where you want to give your readers a good reason to click on the link that goes to your lead magnet funnel.
