Get creative with your instagram bio.
By Jaycee Levin — Written on Jul 18, 2020
It is very important that you have an Instagram bio that reflects who you are. You can use it to stand out and get people interested. After all, your Instagram bio is the first thing that someone looks at when they are looking at your page.
Quotes in your Instagram bio can help make it count because first impressions are everything.
Let’s face it, most of us use Instagram to stalk our crushes or someone that piques your interest. So, if your crush is looking at your Instagram, don’t you want to leave them wanting to learn more.
Well, that’s the point of an Instagram bio! You want to use it to shed a little light on who you are as a person but leave the viewer wanting to discover even more about you.
If you have an eye-catching bio, then people will be more likely to follow you, engage with your posts, and simply scroll through your feed.
You can add a clever quote, something funny, or even a fun fact about yourself. However, you only get 150 characters available in your bio so you should add something that is short and sweet. It can be very stressful to figure out how to sum up who you are in such a short way.
To get some inspiration about what to put in your Instagram bio, keep reading for 100 great quotes that describe you perfectly.
