What About the About Page? Create an About Page (or Bio) that Attracts
How important is the About page on your website? How about your bio on LinkedIn and other social media? What opportunities are you potentially missing when you leave them stark or generic?
Clients, employers and audiences want to know what makes you different. Especially right now, they’re desperate to find connection, confidence and clarity.
Join branding and copywriting expert Danielle Hughes and illustrator Ed Shems as they reveal the importance of building a profile that reflects who you really are, showcases what makes you uniquely different, and draws in your target audience.
Danielle will help you build a bio or About page that attracts, and provide real life “before and after” examples that show her process and how it works.
You’ll learn:
Danielle Hughes
As the Chief Personality Officer of More Than Words Marketing, Danielle Hughes helps individuals and institutions to develop their Genuine Personality Brand. This allows you to own and embody your message, feel comfortable expressing it and convey what makes you different from your competition so you can attract the right audience and repel the wrong one. And while she can’t pull a rabbit out of her hat, she can hone your brand message, engage your audience and deadlift you or your employees, but not at the same time. That’s just irresponsible. (note: Danielle is available for office party tricks and accepts payment in bottles of Bordeaux.)
Ed Shems
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Ed has been an illustrator and graphic designer for more than 25 years. His current obsession is with writing and illustrating chapter books, graphic novels and comics. Ed is the Special Guests Coordinator for the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE), a member of the Illustration Advisory Council for RISD, and a long-time member of the Guild. At home, he is the chief tomato grower for his garden.
