What a perfect Instagram bio is like

An Instagram bio presents you to other people. Sometimes it can be difficult to find appropriate words that describe you perfectly. As we want to help you in creating a catchy Instagram bio, we will give you not only accurate quotes, but also some tips.

Please note: Instagram allows up to 150 characters in a profile bio. It's about 30 words. Therefore, try to place only the most important facts about you there. Or, you can read how to add more characters and words if you want a longer bio.
  • Find in yourself something that makes you special and differs from others. Look for the reason why people should follow you. For example, you are a novice marketer. To draw the audience's attention, tell you send a one-month free ready-made content plan for following you.
  • Do not choose too abstruse and long quotes with a bulk of terms for your Instagram bio. It is unlikely that someone will read this. Even if they do read it, not everyone will even understand the meaning of the terms.
  • The Instagram bio should correspond to the subject of your account. For example, you run a fashion profile. So, don't write that you like animals and travelling. It is better to add a quote like "Fashion is not about utility. An accessory is merely a piece of iconography used to express individual identity" from the famous Meryl Streep movie "The Devil Wears Prada".
  • Reach your target Instagram audience through the quote in your bio. Your goal isn't just to gain followers, but to attract those users who will be interested in your account. For example, you can write "Isn’t it scary that doctors call what they do "practice"?", if you are a doctor and run your own blog.
