With revenue on Instagram expected to reach $14 billion, anyone with business ambition should be on Instagram. On average, over 200 million Instagram users visit at least one business profile a day. With that said, the Instagram bio should take on a new level of importance.
Whether you’re a real estate agent, an entrepreneur, or a musician, having a strong Instagram bio can help draw your audience and engage them to want to work with you or learn about your art.

Some Important Instagram Statistics You Should Know:
According to Instagram:
- The total number of monthly active users: 1 billion+
- The total number of daily active story users: 500 million+
- The number of photos shared to date: 50 billion
- The number of businesses on Instagram: 25 million
- The number of Instagram likes per day: 4.2 billion
- 32% of all internet users are on Instagram
- As of 2018, 71% of US businesses are on Instagram
With numbers like this, it is critical to craft a thoughtful Instagram bio. Here are a few key things to keep in mind when writing your Instagram bio:
- The Instagram bio has a specific length of only 150 characters. That’s just a few short sentences!
- Be brief, but say as much as possible.
- Use one or two-word sentences to say a lot with few words.
- Have a great picture, whether it is a product image or company logo. If it is a personal account with your picture, make sure it is an excellent picture. Remember that the size of the picture will be reduced, so make it pop.
- Your username should be searchable, so choose it wisely.
- A great Instagram bio must express the personality of your brand.
- The bio should also pop and attract your target audience.
- A link to your website should be included (for business accounts).
- Add hashtags to your Instagram bio. Research the most effective hashtags specific to your market or niche.
- If you are promoting your business, you would use this area on your profile to spotlight any webinars, promotions, or products.
