Making Your Twitter Account Professional—The Twitter Bio

Perhaps the biggest chance you have got to reach out to people on Twitter is through the bio box that Twitter provides on your profile page. This bio box is where you can tell people who you are and what your business is about. Be as compelling as you can here because this is where people will decide to follow you.

Your Twitter bio is restricted to 160 characters. That is all the more reason why you have to be stingy with words. Write only what is relevant and actually test various bios to see what reads the best. You have to say the most things in the fewest words.

A good example would be…
“I am an American content writer, writing for 7 years, in various niches. I write articles, website content, reports, sales pages, eBooks, and other things.”

This bio works because it tells all that the person does and also has all the keywords that would add to the search engine optimization value of the profile page. The following are the keywords used in this profile—website content, content writer, sales pages, reports, eBooks, articles. Hence it works in drawing people on Twitter who are looking for these very things.
