How To Write An About Me Page
You don’t need to spend two days working on the SEO on this page, as this is not a page you will write to get traffic or sales on your website, this is a page that will get many reads from your readers once they find your website and after they read one or two articles from you, your readers will want to know who you are, how much experience you have on this niche and why they need to trust on your reviews to make a purchase.
No matter in what niche you are, you need to tell your readers you know your niche, you have been working or doing it for a few years and you love to help others to find the best supplies, tools, or item on your niche.
We all love to make a purchase from a person, not from a company.

You might want to read from people who have been on the niche you’re searching for some help to find the best tool, supplies or item you need for a specific use.

Hi,
From my research your about me page is the soul of your site, and while there’s no perfect recipe for success, there are certain elements that all winning about me pages share and that you need to consider if you want to write a good one, example are show samples of social proof about yourself, make the page grab attention, paint an honest picture in your template, it’s called an About Me page, but it’s really about THEM, keep your scope narrow and relevant.
Thank you.

Wow, I did not expect that kind of level of resourcefulness at all. The advice you provided actually feels very relevant and is genuinely actionable. Which I love. More than you know.
I think for me the realization that people love to buy from a person instead of a company is a huge one. It makes so much sense, now. I definitely need to make some adjustments. The “Why You” section also was a big one for me. I mean, I kind of address that on my page. But I absolutely see a world where I could be significantly more efficient and upfront about it. Also, loved the tip on adding more pictures and a call to action…
Overall, very, very good advice. I even saved this to reread later. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I wholeheartedly appreciate it.
Excellent tips on writing the About Me page. This is a very import page on any blog. Visitors will certainly want to read this page and see if they can trust what you are telling them. Its a page that builds trust and thereafter conversions. Ive picked that you must write a mission statement and include your photos. The page is not about SEO but just to let your visitors know what your website is about. Thanks
This is great information which is often overlooked, but the beginner has questions about everything. Thanks for sharing! Mel
