Hello James,

It is great to read from you today. You are right, an about page is a useful tool.

I do conduct seminars here in the Philippines. I do not go directly to topics. I start by building rapport with the audience and introducing myself to them. I think that’s the about page takes care of that too.

Great tips here. Many people neglect their About page.

Others tend to go over the top on their About page – listing all their credentials, skills, experience etc.

The key thing to remember is that what a customer cares about is the BENEFITS you can bring to them if they hire you. So, it is very important, on your About page, to weave in how your skills and experience will actually help the customer with what they need.

Great post, thanks.

The more interesting and compelling your About page is, the more likely there are to be people who will want to directly (as opposed to simply commenting on a specific post) interact with you. So while there’s certainly merit in having a more comprehensive Contact page, I firmly believe that your About page should offer your visitors the opportunity to contact you – even if that’s only in the form of a glaringly-obvious link over to your Contacts page.

All too often, I wander across blogs and am inspired to write the author(s) yet cannot find any means to do so. That frustration can quickly become motivation for me to not return to that blog again.
