You’ve Only Got 2 Seconds to Impress Your Twitter Audience.
It’s true. On average, people spend just 1-2 seconds scanning your bio before deciding if they want to follow you. This way, your bio is one of the first – and maybe the last – impression you make to your Twitter audience.
Also, “The idea behind your bio is that you want to provoke enough interest so that somebody will follow you back,” says Mark Schaefer, author of The Tao of Twitter.
So it’s crucial to have a good bio.
The question is, how?
If you knew how to make $1200 a month online, from the comfort of your home, would you do the work?
…Well THIS is your chance
It’s FREE to get started, too (no credit card required). You’ll like that part…
I love to learn from the best. A few weeks ago, on February 10th, StatSocial released its list of The Top-100 Social Media Power Influencers, 2015. Their stats are all based on Twitter influence.
So it’s mostly all about Twitter.
In my opinion, this list is by far the best place to learn how these 100 social media leaders have written their Twitter bios.
