Welcome to Lesson 27 of 30 Days To Your Profitable Blog challenge!
Getting creative with your blog monetization is essential for success. You can share your affiliates, informational products, or services anywhere on your blog, not just in your posts. Your blog is your personal online space. It’s yours to use however you wish, so don’t be afraid to utilize it to its full potential. One of the most valuable areas on your blog is your about page. This is where many readers will go first to learn what you have to offer. The information they find here allows them to get to know you. There are lots of ways to use this space to earn income or commissions. Check out these three tips for monetizing your about page.
Tip #1 Get Personal
When people visit your blog, they want to know you. Learning about the person behind the content is important for boosting your credibility and creating relationships. Don’t be afraid to get personal on your about page. Doing so shows your readers who you are. It can also give you the opportunity to share some personal recommendations that might pay off in sales.
Tip #2 Link Your Products
Your about page is also a fantastic place to link to your products. Courses, eBooks, and even physical products can be featured on this page. After all, your creations are a part of who you are. I recommend you choose the products you highlight carefully. One to three flagship or favorite products should be sufficient. You don’t want to overwhelm visitors or come across as too pushy, but you absolutely do want to share the things you’re most proud of.
Tip #3 Share Affiliates
You can also link to other people’s products on your about page. Whether you have your own stuff to sell or not, sharing the valuable things your favorite creators have to offer is almost always a smart monetization strategy. Highlighting the things you love tells your audience a lot about you. People will gain insight from the types of things that interest you and that you are passionate about sharing. They’ll appreciate the valuable recommendations.
So, don’t forget your about page when it comes to blog monetization opportunities. Sharing the things you create and love makes sense in this space. You don’t want to waste this valuable opportunity for more exposure and potential sales. Plus, your readers and fans will appreciate the information and resources you provide. It’s definitely a win-win opportunity. If you are looking to rebrand your website or even start from scratch check out my popular workbookbook Map Out Your Client-Getting Website.
