You are witty, talented and fascinating. Anyone would be lucky to be the recipient of your tantalizing combination of brilliance and boldness.So how do you let the Twitter world know how amazing you are?
Your Twitter bio is a great way to let people know about your personality and interests. I know that when someone follows me on Twitter, the first thing I do is look at their bio to see if I want to follow them back. If they don't have a bio at all or if it's a boring one-liner, I usually don't bother.
So make every word count.
Here are a few some tips:
1.) Think about your purpose. Why are you twittering? Is it to drive traffic to your blog? Connect with other moms? Promote your business?
2.) Use key words. Based on your purpose, think of a few key words. For example, "Mom," "Writer" or "Artist." Think about what words a Twitter user would put in the Search field to find you. Then build the rest of your bio around those words.
3.) Be memorable. Don't be fake. Be yourself, but find a clever or humorous way to describe your uniqueness.
4.) Be sure to include the link to your blog or website.
According to Hubspot Blog, users with a bio have over 8 times more followers and users with a link have over 7.5 times as many as users without.

Awesome post Melinda! Yes, bios are a big reason I choose to follow (or not!) someone. You can often tell quite a bit about someone just from their bio. I hope all is well in your busy neck of the woods!! ;-)
