Instagram Bio Tip #1: Include a relevant Instagram call to action! For example: Need Help with your Direct Messages? DM me “GROWTH” for help!
Instagram Bio Tip #2: Include a DM Autoresponder. For example, if people DM you the word “GROWTH” (see tip#1) you can set up an automated resonse that tells the user more about you and what you do. DM autoresponders can be set up using Customers.ai or Instachamp.
Instagram Bio Tip #3: Add custom Instagram hashtags to your Instagram bio. See how I did it by clicking the Instagram link above my profile picture? This helps you connect and engage with people who may not follow you on Instagram, or adhere to your existing Instagram marketing plan.
Instagram Bio Tip #4: Add a custom Instagram username to your Instagram bio (as I did above mine) That way, people who want to connect on Instagram can easily find you!
Instagram Bio Tip #5: Include links to YOUR official website. Don’t use tools like “LinkInBio” or “linktree” because those are not your website.
Instagram Bio Tip #6: Use Emojis in your bio. Instagram Bios are limited to a small number of lines so you can easily use emojis in between text to compose an Instagram Bio that is not only more beautiful but also helps guide the user’s eyes towards keywords and phrases.
Instagram Bio Tip #7: Break up your Instagram Bio into sections. Line breaks can help make a bio more visually appealing and more readable.
Instagram Bio Tip #8 : Use Instagram Shoutouts as Instagram bio ideas. You can do Instagram shoutouts for either people or companies to help grow your Instagram account and/or boost your Instagram marketing efforts.
Instagram Bio Tip #9: Include an Email Newsletter sign-up! By collecting emails of your fans you can reach them even if the algorithm changes.
Instagram Bio Tip #10: Focus on the first sentence. Instagram bios are limited to a few lines of text, so the first sentence needs to be on point and deliver your value proposition.
