If you’re an entrepreneur, an online business owner, a coach or a consultant, your ‘ABOUT US’ section is:
> Your ‘voice’ to the world
>> Your ‘value-proposition statement’ to possible buyers / clients
>> Your chance to uniquely ‘differentiate’ yourself from competition
>> Gets your point across
>> Gives the ‘information’ your buyers / clients need
>> Gives you ‘social proof’ via mention of milestones
Here are a few pointers on how to write a BOOM BOOM ‘About Us’ page for your site that makes you stand out, keeps your visitors hooked for more like a salivating fat kid to a cheesecake, and evokes in them desire to take action!
1. Your Value Proposition – Why should they consider your product?
2. The ‘What If’ – What if you could solve their problem with the product?
3. The Differentiator – Why are you unique? What makes you different?
4. Visual Appeal – Font, Colors, Spacing, Paragraphing etc. should be visually appealing and not a boring struggle!
5. Narrate a story – your story or a real life observation that the audience can relate to. It helps build trust, rapport and human-connection.
6. A Call to Action – Direct them to your opt-in page, or value oriented blog post + freebie, so they get a taste of the goodies you have to offer! Never direct to Sales Page. That is not what the About Us/Me section is about.
7. Proofread – If you mess this step up, you’ve messed up the entire page! Audiences are a very judgemental breed of people, they will assume you know nothing based on a single typo error!
