Essential Check List for Your About Page to Get Noticed

About Us

The about page  is important for people to find out more about you and your blog. For new visitors, they want to know what they can get out of your blog. For regular visitors they want to find out more ways to interact with you. They are others who are interested to work with you.  

It is good to start off by telling others what you can do for them because readers, like you and me, are more interested to know what they can get from your blog.  In the next section you can go on to talk about yourself and your blog.

There are three things readers want to know: 

Who you are:

·         Have you uploaded your photo?

·         Are you a parent? It has bearing about what you are writing about such as parenting.

What you do:

·         Are you blogging part-time or fulltime?

·         How do you earn a living if you are blogging part-time? 

·         When did you start blogging?
