How To Write An Epic ABOUT ME PAGE

Howto write an epic aboutmepageWhat I do when I discover a new blog, I read the first few post and then I check on the about me page because I always have the urge to know who is behind the blog and I just want to know more about the person and maybe in some way   connect with them.

Before we get down on how you should write an epic about me page, some of the questions that your audience should be able to answer when they visit your page are.

1. Who are you?

2. What made you start your blog?

3. How will your blog be of value to them?

4. Are you relatable to them?

5. How can they get in touch with you?

About page is one of the most important and relevant pages in your blog so it should be properly written.

It is also the most viewed page after home page.

Make sure yours is an epic one, a good about page will make your audience fall in

love with you and companies will also get drawn to you.

Since it will be one of the most visited pages on your blog it  should be  appealing.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when writing the about page is that

they think about themselves while they should be thinking about their readers.

By the time someone is done reading it they should be like, can we be friends?

    I agree with this 100%. I also think it’s important to let people know the real you. The fun, quirky yet professional side of you. For instance, I have in my about me that I love target’s one dollar section, which I mean seriously, I do! <3

    I am currently working on updating my about me page so thank you for sharing! its so hard to write about yourself in an engaging way i find!

  8. September 18, 2017 / 8:54 PM

    I love these tips! I do have an About Me, but I could probably do a better job and revise it. I love when people have really specific information or just fun, random facts about themselves. It gives me more of an idea about who they are. I’m going to bookmark this and come back to it later when I revise mine(:

    I have redone my about me page several times over the last few years. Looks like a good time to review it once more. Thanks for the tips.

  11. September 19, 2017 / 3:17 AM

    Okay. One of the very first pages I wrote was my About Me page. I feel that I may need to go back and review to ensure this aligns to who I really am. And honestly your word EPIC really is bothering me haha. I keep thinking, “is my About Me page epic??” It DOES have to be EPIC!!”

    I haven’t updated my About Me page in forever. That is definitely something I need to work on. Thanks for all the tips!

  14. September 19, 2017 / 11:35 PM

    These are fantastic tips for any blogger to follow! I remember racking my brain trying to figure out what to do when I had to write my “About Me” page for the first time and having little to no ideas whatsoever!

    I feel like you wrote this for me as a friend who is like “Kylie, seriously, your about page sucks – you need to re-write a good one!”

    Thanks for the kick up the butt and most importantly, for the wonderful insightful guide! When I rewrite my about page today, it’s thanks to you! x 🙂
