How To Write A Kickass Instagram Bio

by admin | Sep 22, 2020 | Social Media, Social Media tips

Writing a bio can seem easy but in reality it’s the most duanting task. How do you explain what you do in just 150 words or less? There’s just so much to say how are you supposed to break it down to only a few sentences? Don’t worry, I’ve got you with 5 easy steps for a kickass instagram bio!

1. What’s your title?

When thinking about what you do, can you describe it in just a few words or less? Don’t worry, I know it’s hard and you’re not alone. Think about it this way: What do you want someone to introduce you as at a party?

Pro tip: Explain it like you’re explaining it to a 5-year-old!

2. Benefits

The biggest most important thing to think about when writing up your bio is that your profile page is NOT about you but what can you do for your followers?

If you’re a musician, think about how your music benefits your followers. Will it make them dance? Do you work with a specific type of genre – how does that benefit your followers?

If you’re an actor and work in a specific genre, let’s say comedy, you can say something along the lines of “making people laugh since 2005 [or insert movie title]”. If you work across a variety of genres you can talk about that as well.

For businesses, you want to think about how your products will benefit your followers. Will it make them feel beautiful? More stylish? Vibrant?

If you’re a musician, you want to let your followers know what you’ve done and what you’re about and why they should follow you. If you worked on some pretty big records or with big artists put it on there! Don’t be shy, show it off!

People wanna know what does this do for me? why should I follow you? Do you give outfit inspirations? funny videos? music to heal the soul? Instagram is not about you, but what can you do for your followers

3. Who is your account for?

Your profile isn’t for everyone. You know who your ideal follower is and that’s who you want to be on your page. You want people to come to your page, read your bio and say, “They’re awesome, I want to know more!” When an account is tailor-made for a follower, there’s a higher chance of turning them into a fan/customer. So ask yourself, “who is this account for?”

Pro tip: Add some emojis in there to give yourself more characters. It’s a great way to make yourself more human and show off your personality – but keep in mind there’s a fine line between professional and unprofessional. Keep it relevant to what you’re talking about!

4. Contact Information

It’s not enough to assume people will just DM you. And think about how many DMs you get and having to sort through everything to figure out what’s spam and what’s important in your Other folder. You have to make it easy for everyone to contact you. So tell me, how can I contact you? Email, phone, address (physical location)? Add it into the bio section as it makes it easier to see your contact info right away instead of having to take an extra step of pushing the email button to contact you directly or sending people to your DMs and giving yourself extra work to sort through it all.

5. Party Favor

No one constantly likes being asked for something, let alone to buy something. So before you ask for something you gotta give something. You can’t expect for someone to go on IG and be consistently selling and promoting without giving something away. You have to give something to your followers before they would ever become a customer. The party favor is something that you give something to someone. It can be:

Discount

Free Merch (giveaway)

Helpful Quiz

Video Tutorial

Hear new music before anyone else

Ticket giveaway

You get the point. The biggest thing you want to do is to try and point them to grow your newsletter list. If Facebook and IG shuts down tomorrow, will you have all of their emails? You don’t own IG, FB, TikTok or Twitter and you never know what’s going to happen (looking at you TikTok 👀) give yourself the insurance of having all of your ravings fans emails so you’ll still be able to contact them if something goes down.

So there you have it! The secret formula to a kickass Instagram bio! Try it out for yourself:

What do you do + Who is your account for + Benefits of following you + Contact Info + Party Favor

5 Easy Tips For A Winning Hashtag Strategy

by admin | Apr 24, 2019 | Social Media, Social Media tips

12 years ago if someone mentioned a hashtag they would look at you with a confused look on their face and wonder wtf you were talking about. Fast forward to 2019 and you can’t be on social media without knowing what a hashtag is.

Hashtags can be overwhelming and confusing and you’ve probably heard a million different theories about where to put them, how many to use in a post, and what the good hashtags are to use. It can be overwhelming and confusing to say the least!

So why do we use hashtags? Think of them as indexes to help you get your name out to your ideal audience. If you’re putting your content in every hashtag possible, you’re not targeting your ideal followers. Think of it as putting it everywhere and hoping for the best. Will that help you achieve your end goals? Probably not.

We’ve put together our exact 6 steps we use on our clients for a winning hashtag strategy.

Research, Research, Research

When it comes to using hashtags research is your new best friend (and not the boring research that you have to do in school). If you’re just starting to grow your Instagram, hashtags are VERY important and they’re something that you definitely need to pay attention to. So instead of using whatever comes to mind put some effort into them and do some research. We promise it’ll help you in the end!

Less is More

There’s those that use up the full 30 and then there’s those that use a small amount of really good hashtags.

Why shouldn’t you use a lot of hashtags you ask? Good question.

When you use up the full 30, whether it be in the caption or the post, it can look spammy and desperate. You want the attention, but you don’t want people to think you’re desperate for it. So keep it short and sweet. We suggest using between 11-15 high quality hashtags in your posts and you’ll be good to go!

Relevance

This tip goes hand in hand with tip #2. Now that you have those 11-5 hashtags, let’s think about the quality of them. When trying to decide what type of hashtags to use, make them relevant to the photo that you’re posting. For example, if you’re a musician but you’re posting a photo of coffee you wouldn’t want to use the #musician or any other music hashtag because chances are people following that hashtag will scroll right by and don’t care about coffee. Use quality hashtags that are related to the photo to give you the best exposure for your brand.

Hashtags in Caption vs. Comments

It’s a constant debate on which placement will work better. The answer is, every account is different. Some accounts grow faster than others and social media is all about trial and error and what works best for you and your brand. In our experience the comments bring us the most success but be sure to try both and see what works best for your page!

Quality over Quantity

When it comes to using hashtags it’s one of the key components of growing your Instagram following. If you’re using hashtags like #f4f or #likeforlike first of all you’re making your page look spammy which turns people off and second of all you’re also hurting your growth in the long run.

You may be asking, “how does it hurt my growth? I’m getting the likes and followers,” well let us tell you. Think of why you’re using the #f4f or #likeforlike hashtags. Most likely you’re using them to increase your likes and followers but are you thinking about WHO you’re trying to target and find you? 99% of the time the people are just liking and following for the likes and follows and don’t care about the content so it leaves your engagement low (sometimes people even unlike and unfollow after they’ve gotten their like) and makes your page look disconnected.

And there you have it! Using these tips will help you elevate your brand on social media and help you increase your engagement and followers!

Happy Hashtagging!
