@shari_pw
Writing a Profile
 Keywords
 While this could actually be folded into the previous point, its importance warrants one all of its
own. Keywords are the key to maximizing your bio through SEO, or search engine optimization.
Good keywords means more people will find your bio.
 Length
 Not all social media bios provide you with the same amount of space. As such, creating bios in
different lengths will ensure that you have each site covered effectively.
 Check…and Recheck!
 Nothing screams unprofessional more than a misspelled word or incorrect punctuation, in terms of
the business world. As a result, never post your bio until you have had the chance too look it over
and make sure there are no mistakes. As stated previously, given how many people are vying for the
same business, you really do only have that one shot to make a good first impression.
 A killer social media bio is an excellent way to get your foot in the door in today’s connected
business world. Have a suggestion on how to write an even better social media bio? Let us know in
