How do you write a bio for Instagram?

Start with what you do, say who it is for, then add one next step. Here is how, one line at a time:

Write what you do in three to five words.
Add who it is for or what people get.
End with one step, like "Shop below" or "Free guide in my link".
Read it out loud and cut any word you don't need.

Check the length with the free character counter. Want a gap between lines? The Instagram line break generator helps with that.

Where should the link in your Instagram bio go?

It should go to a place where people can buy what you make. Stakk turns the link in your bio into a store: stakk.store/yourname, built for phones. Add a product, set a price, and buyers get the download by email the moment they pay.

It is free to start, with no monthly fee. Stakk does not host your files or run subscriptions. You keep your files in Google Drive or Dropbox, and Stakk sends buyers the link.
