How to Write Your About Me Page – From Problogger.com

From the article:
There are four main questions that readers want answered on your about me page:
- 1. who you are…
- 2. your expertise and how it addresses…
- 3. their problem or goal, and how they can…
- 4. contact you
Here is a sample “About Me” page that answers these questions:
Hi, I’m Jane Smith and I write TransitionMomBlog (who Jane is) to help women make the transition from full-time mom to successful entrepreneur (the reader’s problem or goal). I started TransitionMomBlog in 2004 (Jane’s expertise – shows she has been blogging for two years) to help other women deal with the sometimes overwhelming prospect of starting a new business while still running a household (how Jane helps them overcome their problem or achieve their goal). Prior to raising my family, I spent over ten years as a teacher, corporate trainer and workshop leader (Jane’s expertise, both as a mom and a business person). To contact me, please email XXX (how to contact Jane).
