Always include an About Me page. This page is so important and needs to really tell your story: where you were at, what happened during your journey, what you learned, and how youve come through to the other side

Again, I cant over emphasize that your blog is about You, Inc. The only way for people to get to know about you is by sharing your story, passions, interests, and dreams. By doing so, people will begin to relate better to you and they will see you as a friend who can empathize with where they are at in the whole scheme of things.

Let your blog readers know why you created this blog and what they can expect to get out of it. Youll also want to share your life story (Not too long, not too short, just enough for people to get a good feel for who you are). Include a video or pictures.

Below are 15 points of interest in creating an About Me page.

•Intro Paragraph. Let your readers know exactly what your blog is about. What are the benefits for them? Why should they read your blog?
•Share why you created this blog. Share your passions and vision for this blog.
•Give a brief outline or time line of your life story. Focus more on your personal growth.
•Share the low points in your life and how you overcame them. The more relevant to your blog the better.
•Brand your accomplishments. Even if you think theyre not that noteworthy. Give yourself some kudos.
•Include photos and or video. Share your interests and hobbies. Anything that will allow people to connect to you.
•Give a clear call to action. What do you want them to do? Example... Follow me on my social media sites... or subscribe to my newsletter.
•Direct them to your contact me page or form.
•Get creative. Link to a relevant post or hidden page... example "Click here to learn 5 things you did not know about me"
•Write your story in word and copy it to your blog post. Here are some additional ideas when writing your story
•Write your story with your readers in mind. How can you relate to them?
•Write your story to appeal to your readers emotions... not logic.
•Be colorful and descriptive. Paint a picture.
•Make it eye friendly, easy to read, small paragraphs, good spacing. Use bold letters once in a while.
•Interject sections with titles.

Really work hard on this page. The investment to write your complete story will pay out huge dividends. Just this last week I had someone new join me in business because of my story. Youll find that the same can happen for you if you craft yours well, too. You can read an example About Me page here if you like. http://karyrogney.com/about-kary-rogney/
