What Belongs On Your "About Me" Page?
What are the essential requirements for a really good About Me page? What questions should you answer for your readers? Here are a few suggestions:
What does the blog have to offer?
You might begin by telling your reader the intended focus of the blog and what you have to offer.
It's important here to consider your audience. Who are you writing for?
What are the benefits to subscribers?
You might suggest that visitors subscribe to your RSS feed and let them know how they might benefit from doing so.
What are your credentials?
What qualifies you to write your blog? Give some background here. Here's your opportunity to introduce yourself, rather than the blog.
Don't forget that the About Me page is probably the second most read section of your blog besides the most recent posts. In some cases, it may be the first page read and your visitor's first impression of your blog.
Remember, you rarely get a second chance to make a "first impression".. make sure your readers see you and your blog the way you intend from the beginning. A good About Me page can translate into alot of quality traffic.
