Make Money Online with Alvin Nyau

This is my first blog post and I have transformed it into a blogging tip guiding you on how to write your first blog post or the about page. Perhaps both of the pages should be differentiated, but to some extend, they are the same. Both of their functions are to introduce your blog to your readers. Even when you have hundreds or thousands of blog posts, they would still search for your first post. You can just copy and paste for both pages or modify a little bit and link one to another to suit your needs, but make sure they are there ready to tell your readers what your blog is all about and who you are. As for me, my about page explains everything.

If I am a reader of your blog, I will want to look for:

What topics will you cover in your blog?

Tell your readers what you will be blogging about. Will you be blogging about your lifes? Or perhaps about your business or certain topics of interest? Tell them.

For it4money.com, as what I have written on my title banner, I will be blogging about tips in making money online, featuring tips on blogging, affiliating and ebook marketing.

Who you are?

From the reader’s point of view, I would want to know who you are, how old are you, what is your current occupation and what qualification you have acquired. It is crucial to tell who you are so that your readers will trust you better. Showing your face in your first blog post or often in the about page can also increase the credibility of your blog.

Why should your readers listen to you?

Show some proofs or tell your readers what is so unique about your blog, so that they know why they should listen to you. Most of the readers are very realistic indeed. If they don’t see any reason why they should read your blog, they will just leave and most probably won’t come back to your blog anymore. Show as much proofs as you can to prove your strengths and familiarity of your blog’s topics. Be sure you write them honestly. You will probably lose your readers forever if they find that you are actually cheating them.

How to subscribe to you or contact you?

Show links of your blog’s feed so that your readers can subscribe to you to receive the latest updates of your blog. Create a contact me page for readers to contact you easily. Always accept their suggestions, stories and questions.

Look at your first blog post and about page now and see if they are suitable for your current blog’s status. It doesn’t matter how old your blog is, you can always edit them to see if they suit your blog.
