50 Templates + Ideas to Write the Perfect Instagram Bio

You never get a second chance to make a first impression – so why risk it when it comes to your Instagram bio?

Besides your image, the first thing people see on your profile is your Instagram bio, so without a doubt, we can say it’s one of the most important things.

It might seem irrelevant, but the “devil is in the details,” and the details, in this case, mean more followers and/or customers.

If you lack inspiration for your Instagram bio, in this blog post, we’ll share some ideas, and besides that – here’s everything else we’ll cover:

Why your Instagram bio is important?

So, where to start with writing your bio?

– With a total of 150 characters, your Instagram bio should contain:

• vital information – such as who you are, what do you do, the topics you’re interested in/are willing to talk about, your job role, and a way for people to reach out to you (contact information)
• showcase your personality – feel free to show off your personality even in your Instagram bio (in this way, chances are you’ll attract the right kind of audience)
• call-to-action – CTA is also essential, especially if the Instagram account is a business one or used as such one.

All in all, these are the most basic elements to every Instagram bio but stick with us.

We will cover so much, plus give away some super practical examples.
