Are you interested to grow your reputation, customers, impact, profits?
If so… Are you interested to learn from the top social media influencers in the world?
Are you interested to learn how they have written their Twitter bios?
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…
Because your Twitter bio has a tremendous impact on your online reputation. Also, it plays a key role in influencing people either to follow you or flee from you.
I wrote this post with Twitter and Twitter bios in mind. Here you will not only see who are/were top 50 social media power influencers. Also, you see their Twitter bios. All in one place. I did the work to save your time going through those 50 Twitter profiles.
In fact, the list is from 2012, but this fact does not reduce its value. Even if some of them are not on the list today, well… If they were in the Forbes’ 2012 list, today they still are top guns!
If you want to write a strong and engaging Twitter bio, who else should you learn from?
So let’s dig into the details.

ARE YOU looking for ways to create a legit passive income online?
I’m not much of a “Tweeter”, but I guess I need to start tweeting if I want to make that list right?
If you want to make that list then you don’t have any other option than start tweeting hahahaa.
But as Twitter is a good source of additional traffic to your site then I think it is wise to grow your Twitter follower base. Also, a Twitter bio is one of the major factors to affect peoples’ decisions (if they want to follow you or not). Then it is good to learn from those top guns, how to write a pro Twitter bio. :)
I noticed that some of the Twitter bios incorporated what they value most, such as the one who said “Family first”. Others included part of their vision. Most found a way to be unique in such a short space as well.
My favorite Twitter bio is ” Lori Taylor @lorirtaylor
When it comes to your brand, decaf just won’t cut it. Tweets by Team Caffeine. Visit us for more #Blogging #SocialMedia and #Marketing tips.”
Thank you Martina for taking time to give me feedback. It’s quite a challenge to introduce yourself to the world with only 160 characters, isn’t it? I have found it is good and helpful to know how those top tweeters have done it.
Hello, Egon
I was expecting to see my name up there with the biggest twitter influences.. haha! Maybe one day, my friend ;)
I certainly enjoyed reading the bios and I will definitely be looking into your 2 other twitter resources. Thanks for the article and much appreciated.
Neil
Nothing is impossible, right? All of them started as complete newbie so be encouraged. One day you and me can be in that list too :) And thank you for the feedback.
