Erik,

Thanks for sharing this. For me, the MOST common mistake is to leave the easter egg there 🙂 There are two ways of writing bios; 1. Write crazy ones that attract people. 2. Write something unique about yourself.

You won’t go wrong with either one. On top of that, great tips mans!

Love it!

You are so right when you say that you don’t have to always use 160 characters in your Tweets. Our company’s motto is less is better when it comes to composing tweets as the shorter they are the more they will stand out and get noticed.

Unfortunately, when it comes to tweet length, our approach definitely is in the minority.

The tips above may seem to focus mostly on an individual but some of them can also apply to a corporate twitter account too. However in the case of the company account you do not have to give those fancy things about yourself like what you like, eat. You should focus on what you do/offer and why you are best in it or why clients should choose you over others. This is not the place to give your history and who constitutes the management and board of directors and what have you. It’s also not the place for writing your mission and mission statement. You should view this as your one and only chance of getting recognized and drawing interest of the reader.

Hi Erik

It is really so difficult to write your twitter bio in a limited space. Your first tip is great guide.

People want to know who you are and what your are. If we give them exact reply of these two queries it will be sufficient to make us familiar with the twitter community.

Yes getting so formal creates your boring image so an impressive bio should not be with lot of formalities and with very lightening adjectives to describe your traits.

Thanks a lot for sharing a very informative post.

Hey Erik,

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewritten mine. I’ve taken the advice of so many people which is why I guess I would read what one person said and then run over and try to improve it. Then someone else would write something and I would start thinking about that and run back over and change it again. I just never know if it’s okay or not. I still don’t.

What I’m getting is that it need to be light, airy, totally you but share what you do. So try to fit all of that in that tiny space and good luck right!

So here is mine and you can tell me how I did:

Serious Blogger l Traffic Builder l Engagement Superstar l Mom to Kayla l Loves People l Serious Brownie Eater l Giving Heart

I’m open for suggestions my friend. Thanks! 😉

I don’t think I’ve reviewed my Twitter bio since I started blogging so it’s very timely that your post came along Erik!

Mine’s very short and to the point. Not very creative, flattering and doesn’t contain any hashtags. I guess that’s where I need to start then :-).

Oh I love these tips and I am going to review my Twitter bio. I might even use that generator and see what comes out. I know I certainly find it hard to say everything that needs to be said, and come across as professional and knowledgeable etc etc etc in such few characters.

Time to sit down and reassess I think!

Hi Erik,

I find being to the point helps a bunch. I dig your Bio on twitter because mine is similar.

I share a few of my roles then explain how I’m the owner of Blogging from Paradise. Simple and to the point. I also know using keywords like “blogger” and “freelancer” certainly doesn’t hurt my cause, as you have noted.

Wow, what a great point about not having to be funny. Many folks try so hard to be funny or witty when they just don’t have it in them. This trying to hard bit doesn’t come off well because it looks forced, and fake.

It’s better to be kind, generous, and helpful, being a positive presence who simply tweets great stuff, who engages your followers and who simply shares what they’re about.

I keep it simple: Internet lifestyle junkie, blogger, freelancer. I let followers know what I dig most in life and share 2 of my online roles too. No massive amount of humor or cleverness there; I’m just being true to me.

Thanks for the keen tips Erik.

Tweeting through Triberr.

Ryan
