7 Easy Tips to Help You Craft Amazing Twitter Bio.

Twitter is one of the best mediums to build credibility for your business or personal brand. However, despite that, many entrepreneurs have never fully leveraged on its benefits. It provides you an opportunity to build a strong following automatically cementing your “influencer status”.

I first started using twitter 8 years ago. But, I must admit that ours has been an off again and on-again kind of relationship.

I bet you can relate if you were like me. I didn't know what I was doing.

It's only recently that I decided to take a keener interest on my twitter since I discovered it to be my main source of blog traffic.

Over the years I realized that, I had not been keen on growing my account. This was because of so many factors regarding the status of my account. However today I will talk about the seven 7 elements you should pay attention to when writing your twitter bio or popularly; bio posts.

1. Make it accurate

Your bio provides you with an awesome opportunity to tell the world who you really are. Just tell them exactly who you are.

This is the first section that they get immediately your account appears on their feeds. Remember, it is also what they first see even before they click through your account. First impression matters.

2. Make it sound cool

Loosen up a little bit. Some folks think that twitter is too official for them. I tell such people to go check out LinkedIn. When they do, they understand what I mean.

When you are describing yourself don’t be afraid to use some humor. Humor quickly creates a rapport with your followers who may feel like they personally know you even if they don’t.

3. Make sure it’s targeted

Have you ever wondered why people use hashtags? Well, hashtags have a way of connect you with similar accounts, people you share similar interests with. If a particular hashtag is searched it will highly connect you with people of similar interests as you.

Using hashtags is really a no-brainer, but do not flood your intro section with too many hashtags. Write your bio in a way you can attract people like you. Your targeted audience. Great twitter marketers and influencers are using this secrets to rake in thousands of cash weekly.

4. Brag a little bit

It’s time to drop us your bragging rights in the intro section. Don’t be afraid to tell other people about your accomplishments. If you kick ass, call yourself a sensei, if you can speak 3 languages fluently please tell us we have a multi-linguistic guru in the house.

Care is needed not to overdo your bragging. Remember, less is more. Talk about that one thing that also sets you apart, do not mention stuff that even 3-year olds can do with their eyes closed. You get the picture.

5. Be you

It is easy to get carried away in the bio-section that you forget to be yourself. At the end of the day people only want to interact with people and not robots. Therefore, it is wise to incorporate a bit of your personality. Do you like video games? Tell people about it.

6. Make it interesting

Let’s face it, most Twitter bios out there are boring. They have nothing interesting to make you want to follow them. Creativity plays a crucial part here. Give people a reason to think you’re not “Another one of those.”

First off, you could try add a background twitter image on your account. Do not forget to also select a good avatar to go well with. An account without an avatar automatically becomes suspicious. Most people will think that you are a bot and snub you.

7. Include relevant hashtags

Have you ever wondered why people use hashtags? Well, hashtags have a way of connect you with similar accounts, people you share similar interests with. If a particular hashtag is searched for, it will connect you with people of similar interests as you.

Using hashtags is really a no-brainer, but do not flood your intro section with too many hashtags. Write your bio in a way you can attract people like you. Your targeted audience. Great twitter marketers and influencers are using this secrets to rake in thousands of cash weekly.
