160 characters or less. That’s all the space you have to convince the world at large to follow you and your brilliant tweets, instagram pictures and other various steams of your digital life. If you think it’s not important – take a second to reflect on the times you’ve decided not to follow someone back because they don’t have a bio, or because their bio makes no sense to you. I know I’m guilty of that offense! So what can you do to make your bio cause people to fall over themselves in their rush to follow you?

Tips for writing a good twitter or instagram bio

Easy, use our simple formula.

IFB’s Formula for Writing the Perfect Bio

Who You Are + What You Do + A Peek of Personality 

Yup. It’s that easy. Need an example? Let’s start with my bio:

Girl who loves blogging, fashion, photography, Hogwarts, sharks & high heels. Digital Strategist for @_IFB. Boating enthusiast. 

Here’s what you get from that – I’m a girl. I like blogging, I work at IFB, appreciate a nautical lifestyle and fashion, I’m also a Harry Potter fan. So – if you follow me you’ll get a little taste of all of that.

Here are a few more of our favorite social media bios… how’s yours doing? Let us know in the comments!

    Help me with my bio:
    Lover of A-to-Z and aim to compile every ‘footprint’ she made in her life. Cyclist wannabe. Random thoughts. ** LIVE TODAY ** :D

    I also like discussing about gadget and self-development. How to add it in 160 charcs? :(

    • Itsme says:

      You’ve probably done it by now, and im VERY late, but here are my suggestions :D . you could write “me” or “likes”, something along the lines of that, and list gadget and self-development. You could also move the “cyclist wannabe” into the list. Hope I helped. :)

    Great tips! really helpful! …..
    but what if this is all a little too mainstream for my liking. I want my bio to be different, funky and out there! something that you don’t see everyday and gets followers intrigued about me! at the momment my INSTAGRAM says “Hakuna Matata” which is the saying from the movie “Lion King” which means no worries for the rest of your days. I also saw something like this “save the drama from the lama and meet my pet monkey” I know it doesn’t make sense but it is very outgoing and interesting in a way. I don’t want to give away too much information about me Becasue I will let my pictures do the talking! thanks! much appreciated! please help!
