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?
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!

Awesome tips!! People should definitely take note. (Not me so much since I am one of the featured bios ) … haha. But really, your bio makes all the difference on twitter!
Real eyes realize real lies
Well what’s your bio? Haha

I love looking at people’s twitter bios! Here’s mine:

Thanks for all the tips and the great examples. I gave mine the once over and it now says, “Personal style blogger, craftress, photographer, foodie, aesthete, auntie, and lover of all things mint green”
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 ** 😀
I also like discussing about gadget and self-development. How to add it in 160 charcs? 🙁
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. 🙂
Lifestyle blogger at The Queenpin. Shih-Tzu owner. Not an actual queenpin. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
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!
