How You Write a Great About Me Page

What Exactly is An About Me Page?

An about me page is a simple page, which explains who you are, what your blog is about. My about me page is one of the most frequent visited locations on my blog and 70% of all my visits is new visits. This proves that new readers want to know more about you.

An about me page is much like exchanging business cards, you want the most important things to be there.

What Should an About Me Page Include?

You know how to write an about me page, it is like every other blog post, this is just about yourself.

• Show your elevator pitch, an elevator pitch is an overview of what your blog is about. It should be quite sort, though it can be longer than a normal elevator pitch. You decide.
• Information that interest the persons reading, it should be something inspiring about you.
• Your goals, you could include your goals with this blog “help someone” or somthing like that.
• Who you are. A picture of yourself, links to social media profiles, etc. stuff that can help people know more about you.
• State your expertise. Show what you really are interested in, what you have acheived.

You could make your about me page in a “interview-style” – so you have a person who is asking you a couple of questions, that could be a great way to make an about page. Also a new way of doing an about me page and a funny way to do it.

Making Your About Me Page Fancy

I have few ways to make your about me page looks more like you are an authority and just make it look better in general.

• Make headings and sub-headings to make it scannable. Like “Who Is Mikkel?”, “What Is The Purpose With This Blog?” etc. just make it easy to read.
• Include testimonials, if you include testimonials people will know that other people recommend you. Somehow shows some kind of social proof.
• Photos with the big guys. This really doesn’t mean anything, but if you have a picture with you and one of the big guys in your niche, then put them up. That is also some kind of social proof.
• Link to blogs you like to follow and in that way they might feel obligated to link back to you, but they really aren’t. So don’t be mad if they don’t link back to you.

If you include a few of these things you should have a quite good about me page. Just review yours if you have already gotten one.
