I just read a great post on David Meerman Scott’s blog titled “About YOU.” I’d like to say first off that the title works — I saw this in Google Reader. Like most web professionals’ RSS readers, mine is a bit packed with different feeds that help me stay up-to-date on the latest trends in web design, marketing, social media, technology, and more. Naturally after a long day working, when I saw something promising to be about me, I wanted to click even more than usual.
David’s post reminds us that we should always take the opportunity to explain a little about ourselves. When you sign up for a Twitter account, you get 160 characters to say a little about yourself. Use it! I know it’s easy to be excited and think “I’ll do that later…” But sometimes that doesn’t happen. Yes, it has to be brief, but don’t let your bio & about spaces be unused real estate with great potential.
Make sure your blog has an about page, make sure people know who they’re following, and use your online profiles to say a little about yourself and build your online reputation. After all, I couldn’t say it better — it is about you.
