How to Write a Creative “About Me” Page (with Examples!)

Did you know that for most solopreneur websites, the “about me” page is one of the most-visited pages?

Mine is consistently the third most popular page, after my homepage and blog. It’s way more popular than my “Work With Me” page.

The odds are, it’s the same for your website as well. People want to know about you before they even consider working with you.

Which should make you ask…

Is your about page just a bio, or is it moving them to make a purchase?

Most entrepreneurs get the “about me” page wrong

They make one of two mistakes. Either…

1) They struggled for hours to talk about themselves and ended up with a brief, professional bio that takes 2 seconds to read, or

2) They got really into the writing process and ended up writing a long, winding story about their life, their struggles, their kids, and their neighbor’s grandma.

Which one are you?

If you never know what to say, I’m about to spell out exactly what your about page should include. And don’t worry — it’s actually not all talking about yourself!
