Profile description

In app settings this field is named ‘about yourself’. It’s limited with 150 chars. These couple of lines must be used to help your potential clients make a final decision.

Mention free ways to get in touch with you – WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, local telephone number, etc.

Make use of services for creating a single link for all the means of quick connection with you. Here you may add all your messengers, links to social networks or to your website.

Add info on your latest sales and offers. For example, it may be information on sales for each client, some free services or tips that your clients are entitled to get.

Leave a link to your website or landing page if you have them.

Hashtags and accounts – from now on you can leave a clickable link to other account or a hashtag. There you can leave a link to your second account (business/private, etc.)

Use unusual fonts for profile description

Make use of Highlights

What has changed for Instagram bio feed in 2018?

We have already mentioned that from 2018 there is a possibility to add clickable hashtags and links to profiles. This means that if a while back it didn’t make any sense to add hashtags or links than now they are really clickable and make up a valid tool for your business. If you are leaving a link to the other account, it has to be confirmed from inside of this other account. Hashtags make search through the account easier, and the link is added just with a @-sign.
