I was brand new to many things when I put up my first writer website.

I also was new to promoting a business online!

I didn’t know anything. I ended up looking at https://elnacain.com/blog/freelance-writer-websites/ to help me figure out what I needed to do for mine.

Here is my original About me page copy for my writer website:

> Are you running your own business alone? Do you find you don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done?

> Maybe it’s time to get some help!

> I’m Elna Cain and I have a passion for writing. I enjoy writing on a variety of topics and I take pleasure in immersing myself in learning about new and exciting areas.

> I have plenty of experience in the mental health field and educational setting as I have a bachelor’s in Psychology and have worked in education for many years.

> I am also a married millennial mom of twin toddlers with expert knowledge, interest and personal experience in parenting, career advice, natural and holistic living, relationships, raising twins and being a work-at-home mom.

> I am adept at meticulously researching any topic given and I work to produce original yet engaging prose for my clients. I also have plenty of experience in creating well-optimized, search-engine friendly content for clients who want to increase their online traffic and visibility.

> My primary writing focus is on article, blog and site content, but I am always open to other areas of writing.

> I also do eBook design and formatting. I use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign to create a professional and modern eBook design.

> When I am not writing, you can find me at the park running after my rambunctious two year old twins.

Some great things about this copy is:

• I’m speaking to potential clients in the first sentence or two
• I mention my experience with SEO content (which – at the time – I don’t think I knew much)
• I shared some of my personality at the end of this copy

Some not-so-great things about this copy is:

• I use difficult jargon in this – _meticulously_and prose. I would never use these words now!
• I don’t have credibility in what I’m saying – Having links to what you are talking about can help you become more credible in your niche.
• I mention too many niches and services – While it’s okay to have more than one niche, don’t have 5 or six and don’t have 4 or 5 services either!
• I mention that I can write about any topic – this is as big no-no. You don’t want to market yourself as a catch-all writer; you want to market yourself as the go-to writer in a certain niche topic.
