Don't Be Hasty
How to Craft the Perfect Instagram Bio in 7 Steps

The Instagram bio is often treated as an afterthought-a line or two about your company that you hastily fill out when you first create your account.  In reality, your bio is valuable digital real estate that welcomes users to your profile, conveys key information about your business, and turns  profile visitors into followers  and followers into customers.  But aside from writing a catchy company description, what else can you do to optimize your profile to make the most of your Instagram marketing efforts? Click here.
FYI
Starting on February 11, 2019, morning weekday BART trains will start one hour later for vital repairs and critical earthquake safety work. Alternative bus service will run between 3:45 am and 6:00 am.  The alternative service plan creates 14 new express bus lines that will run from 3:45 am until 6:00 am. This includes 7 Transbay bus routes, 5 East Bay routes and 2 San Francisco/Peninsula routes. BART is partnering with 8 Bay Area bus agencies to operate this network. All fares between express bus stops will be the same as, or less than, current BART fares for the same trips. Train service will start at approximately 5 am. Check the schedule at www.bart.gov
