Here’s the thing about TikTok: it’s all about your personal brand. And that includes everything from the content you create to how you engaged and present yourself to your followers.
When it comes to putting the best foot forward, you’ve got to cover all angles. This means preparing your account to attract more follower with the right bio.
What goes into creating the perfect bio?
Bios were designed to give audiences a quick overview of who you are. Since the dawn of web 2.0, bios have become a staple. They’re also practical and can be used to offer up links to content, offers and other social media account you have.

When it comes to TikTok, you’re able to add a bio with up to 80 characters. While that’s nowhere close to what LinkedIn offers, it’s close to Instagram (150).
So, what can and should do with your 80 characters to help you get more followers on TikTok?
Use catchy TikTok Quotes!
Quotes are the ideal pairing for TikTok. The platform is based on delivering more engagement by sharing music-related content. And while it’s all focused on music, you can still create quotes that are personalised.

How to Create an Effective TikTok Bio Quote
Crafting the best TikTok bio quote will require a little bit of creativity. To help, here’s a three-step process. These steps to help you uncover a personalised quote that will give people a good idea of who you are and excite them into following you.
1. Establish Your Interests
Your bio should give people a glimpse into who you are and what you’re all about. It should also help them glean a little about what kind of content they’ll if they choose to follow you.
Are you into sports or video games? Are you into cosplay or collecting vintage jackets? Whatever your interests are, collect them on a piece of paper.
2. Prioritise Your List of Interests
There’s a good chance that you’ve written down more a couple of interests. Regrettably, you only have 80 characters to work with. We’ll need to shave that list down to two. Pick the two that matter most to you.
3. Get Creative and let Your Personality Shine Through
With two interests to focus on, it’s time to turn on the creative juices! Here, you want to create a sentence or two (within your 80 character limit) to share who you are and what you’re all about.
For instance, let’s say you love ice-cream and anime. Here a set of examples you could use:
- Anime and chocolate ice-cream over everything
- Dragon Ball-Z is life and ice-cream is heaven
- One Punchman should be president and ice-cream should be free
As you can tell, these are quirky. They highlight a lighter side of one’s character to followers and may make them chuckle a little if not crack a smile.
What if you’re not feeling all too creative? What then?
Glad you asked. Here’s a collection of 130 quotes that you can use. Categories include music, motivational, fashion, health and fitness, business, food and humour.
