When it comes to putting together
a powerful website or blog, every page is important. Yet many people seem to
overlook the most important pages like “About
me” page, and thereby commit a big mistake.
If you are here means you are so
lucky that you are not committing that mistake that many others are doing. It
is so true that many people want to know about you and your ability to solve
their problem. If you are not sure of how to make “About me” page don’t get tensed as I will explain about some
important elements of this page.
What
is an “About me” page?
An about page of
a website or a blog contains some important information about your
Website/Service or organization. This single page speaks about Who you
are, what you can do and why this website. This is a place where you talk about
you and show your achievement and strong points. Of all the elements of a
website, “About us” or “About me” page is one of the most
important elements.
Some of the elements you should
keep in mind before making an “About me” page are:
Maintain
Human Touch:
Always remember
it’s a point of connection between your readers and you. So, you might like to
maintain the human touch, add some funny comments and also maintain the
professionalism at the same time. You can start with your blog foundation,
vision, what do you do, and what action they can take next.
Keep it Focused:
The main reason people will visit your “About
Me” page is to find out more about who you are, and why you are the
right person to solve their problem. You don’t need to write an autobiography
to achieve this.
Make this page short and sweet by giving the people a little background
about yourself, your qualifications and your expertise in an engaging manner.
Never ever lie to
your readers:
Many people make the biggest mistake of bragging about them to make
their page or biography look good. But, remember a bad reputation spreads like
light! So, never lie to your readers and tell them frankly about yourself and
your skills and achievements.
Keep your personal
stuff aside:
This page should be more professional rather than personal. Keep your
personal stuff like your hobbies, things you like etc.., away from this page.
They should be presented in your social networking profile. Add a picture of yourself;
tell them about your educational background and the reason behind to start this
blog or website.
Think from a reader
perspective:
You should think from a reader perspective view more than an author’s.
You should think about what they are expecting from you. Sometimes they might
be interested in connecting to you through social networking. So, give them the
links of your personal profile and fan pages if any.
I think you are now ready to make your own “About me” page. Please feel free to let me know if I had missed any
important aspect through the comment box below.
