  Contact Page: Why You Need It & How-To Create It

  • July 10, 2020

  A lot of bloggers think a contact page isn’t necessary. But they’re wrong. Keep reading to find out why you need a contact page and how to create a stunning one for your blog.

  So far we have created some very important pages for our blog including an “About” page, a “Start Here” page, a “Privacy Policy” page, and a “Disclosure” page. Today we’re going to create a contact page.

  So many bloggers think that a contact page isn’t necessary for their blog. However, they are more than likely missing out on potential customers, guest writers, and collaborators.

  Having a contact page is very important no matter what size your blog is. Especially if you want visitors and readers to get in touch with you.

  

  To see all the important pages every blog should have, click here.

  Why do you need a contact page?

  Other than the reasons mentioned above, a contact page:

  • Protects against spam: Putting your email address on your website leaves you open to receive tons of spam emails. Spambots are constantly scanning for the email address tag on websites.
  • Saves time: Form confirmations can be used to send people their next steps, such as a landing page, a video, or just a simple note telling them you’ll get back with them soon.
  • Potential opportunities: A lot of times, if there’s no way to get in touch on your site, people leave and don’t come back. This means you’re missing out on potential guest writers, collaborators, customers, and readers.
  • Gathers reliable information: People don’t always provide you with all the details when they send you an email. However, with a contact form, you can tell them exactly what you need from them. You can require their email, phone number, and more. You can also include a dropdown box so they can choose the topic.

  What should the page have?

  An effective contact page should be a basic page and only include the following:

  • Contact form: Obviously. This is the easiest and safest way for people to get in touch with you.
  • Social media links: If you plan to have people communicate with you through social media, then include your links on this page as well.
  • Photo: While this is not a requirement, having a photo on your contact page will make your blog stand out and look stunning!

  Set expectations for form users

  • No matter what size your blog is, you should let readers know right away that you will not be able to respond immediately. You can include this in your confirmation message, or somewhere on your page. I include a simple statement in my confirmation message that says, “I will respond shortly.”
  • Make it clear which emails you will not respond to. For example, anyone that seems spammy, or anyone that is just being plain rude. You don’t have to respond to every single email.
  • Have visitors check your FAQ’s page before they send you their questions.

  Best Contact Page Tips

  • Double-check for grammatical and spelling errors.
  • Keep it simple. This is the most basic page on your blog. It’s doesn’t need to be filled up with a ton of information.
  • Only require name, email address, and message on the form itself. Some people do not feel comfortable sharing all of their information with you.

  How to create a simple contact form

  There are a lot of different plugins that you can get for free through WordPress for contact forms. The form I use is WPForms Lite. It’s free and easy to use. It’s beginner-friendly and includes drag and drop options. If you need more features you can always upgrade to the paid version.

  For this example, I’ll be using this form so you can see how easy it is.

  Creating a contact form step-by-step

  1. Install the plugin

  The first thing you need to do is to install the WPForms Lite plugin. Go to plugins, then click add new. Search for “WPForms”, click “install now”. Once the plugin has been installed, click “activate”. (Just as an FYI: the picture for the plugin is a bear waving.)

  2. Create the form in WordPress

  Inside your dashboard, click WPForms on the left sidebar, and then click add new.

  You’ll see a page to select a template. Choose the template you want to use. For this example, I’m going to use the “Simple Contact Form”, which just includes the name, email, and message fields. However, you can edit the fields any way you like or even change their order by dragging and dropping them.

  When you’re done, click save.

  3. Setting notifications and confirmations

  Form confirmation is what the person sees after they submit the form. This could be a simple thank you message, or a redirect to a certain page on your website. There’s already a default message set up, which you can change if you wish.

  Form notification is the email you get after a person submits the form. The notifications will go to the admin email that you have set up on your website. If you want to send the notification to a different email, change it in the “send to email address” field.

  4. Add the form to a page

  Create a new page in WordPress and give it a name, such as “Contact Me” or “Contact Us”. In the body of your page, you can include a short and sweet message, then add the form.

  To add the form, simply click the arrow to add a new block, then search for WPForms. Click it to add it to your page, then in the dropdown menu click the form you just created. Then click Publish at the top right of your page and you’re done!

  So, to recap, don’t underestimate the importance of having a contact page on your blog. You will be missing out on potential customers, collaborators, readers, and guest writers without one. There should be a way for visitors to get in touch with you with any questions or suggestions they may have. And you should want to welcome that to build a relationship with your audience.

  Disclosure Page – Disclosures You Need on Your Site

  • July 9, 2020

  If you are running a monetized blog, then you are required by law to have a disclosure page. I’ll cover exactly what that means in this article. And I’ll also share two different templates for you at the end of the post.

  So far we’ve created a “Start Here” page, an “About Me” page, and a “Privacy Policy Page” for our blog. Today we’re going to create a “Disclosure Page” and learn more about what disclosure is exactly.

  Blogging can be a lot of fun and a little bit addicting. You’re in control of what you say and do and there’s no boss to answer to. You are the boss here!

  However, just because you’re deciding what you write about doesn’t mean you don’t have to include all the legal stuff. And if you live in the United States and run a monetized blog, then a disclosure page is an absolute must. It’s a legal requirement you need to stay out of trouble.

  

  Click here to read about all the important pages your blog needs.

  Disclosure vs. Disclaimer

  Before we get started on your disclosure page, you may be asking yourself what the difference is between a disclosure and a disclaimer. Here’s the simple version:

  Disclosures provide your readers with all the necessary information regarding a purchase or promotion. It’s giving your audience a head’s up that you will get paid if they make a purchase through your links.

  Disclaimers let your readers know that you are just sharing information and it’s up to them what they do with that information. Basically, it’s a statement denying your responsibility.

  What is a Disclosure Page for Blogs?

  As mentioned above, a disclosure page for blogs is a written statement that lets your readers know about any relationships you have with brands, products, and partners mentioned on your site. It shares that there is a relationship between you and what you are promoting and there is money involved.

  Not only is a disclosure page a legal requirement, it also creates transparency between you and your readers. This builds trust between you and your audience, which is necessary to run a successful blog.

  Why is it required?

  If you plan to monetize your site through ads, affiliate links, email marketing, selling products, or sponsored posts, then you are required to have a disclosure page.

  Disclosures limit your liability on your content, meaning they help you stay legal and out of trouble.

  The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has established policies that you must follow in order for your blog to remain legal. These policies allow your readers to know and understand that you will be paid for sharing certain information.

  You can read the full report here so you can understand what is required by law. I highly recommend reading it all very closely.

  Types of Content Requiring Disclosures

  Any time you share a product, company, or band that you will be paid for, then you must include a blog disclosure. This can be a simple statement at the top of your page, but it should link to a disclosure page that has more information.

  Here are two examples of when you can add the simple statement to the top of your posts:

  1. Sponsored posts

  Sponsored posts are posts that you are writing for someone else, such as a brand, and getting paid for. For example, a certain brand of soap sends you their product to try and will pay you to write a post about it.

  You are required by law to let readers know that this is a sponsored post. They need to understand that before they click your link to buy the soap for themselves.

  2. Affiliate links

  Affiliate marketing is where a lot of bloggers make money. Adding a link to a product that your readers may purchase requires a disclosure since you will get paid if they buy the product. For example, writing a post about your favorite farmhouse wall décor and adding links to Amazon for readers to purchase.

  Where do you put a disclosure statement?

  When you write a sponsored post or a post with affiliate links, a blog disclosure statement must be placed as close to the link as possible. Your reader has to see the disclosure before clicking the link.

  A link to your disclosure page must be visible on every page. It’s best to add it to a menu or your website’s footer. I include a link to mine in the footer. Also, you need to add a link to your disclosure page in your disclosure statement.

  Sponsored posts

  For sponsored posts, a simple disclosure statement can be added to the top of your post before your blog content. For example: “This is a sponsored post on behalf of (company name). All opinions are my own.”

  If you plan to share your sponsored post to Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest then you also have to share a disclosure statement there. A simple way of doing this is to use the hashtags #sponsored or #ad or both. This lets readers know that you were paid to write the post before they read it.

  Sharing a sponsored post to Facebook also requires a disclosure statement, but you have to go about it differently. They have policies that you must follow or your post will be removed or they can even shut down your entire account. (This is another reason I do not use Facebook for my blog.)

  To share a sponsored post on Facebook you first have to apply to have branded content on your own page. To do this, you must follow these steps:

  1. Visit the branded content tool page
  2. Select the page you want to use
  3. Click send

  It takes up to 2 business days for them to respond. You can read more about Facebook Branded Content here.

  Affiliate links

  Affiliate links also require a disclosure statement, which should be as close to the link as possible. Just typing “affiliate links” somewhere in your post is not enough. You have to let your readers know that your content has affiliate links and you will be paid if they make a purchase through one or more of your links.

  For example: On my lifestyle blog, I write a short introduction, then a header before my main content. I know my affiliate links will be in that content, so I include a short disclosure statement saying “Posts contain affiliate links. I may be compensated if you make a purchase through one of the links. To learn more about what this means for you, click here.” I include a link to my disclosure page in the word “here”.

  Amazon has its own disclosure statement that you must include somewhere on your site. You can copy this statement and put it directly in your disclosure page, or put it on your site’s sidebar or in the footer. You can read about that here, under #5: Identifying Yourself as an Associate.

  How to Write a Disclosure Page for Your Blog

  Now that we have went over what a disclosure page is, why it is required, and where you should put a disclosure statement, let’s learn how to write one.

  Here are some disclosure page examples that I love.

  Example #1

  “This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. We accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, or other forms of compensation.

  Also, this blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion, and identity. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics, or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space, or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content.

  The owner of this blog may be compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites, and various other topics. Even though the owner of this blog receives compensation for our posts or advertisements, we always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the bloggers’ own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question.

  This blog may contain content which might present a conflict of interest. This content will always be identified.”

  Example #2

  “This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, or other forms of compensation. Any paid or compensated content will be clearly distinguished as such. All opinions are, and will always be, my own.

  Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider in question.

  Also, this blog also publishes affiliate links. An affiliate link means I may earn a commission if you make a purchase through my link, without any extra cost to you. (Thank you for your support!)“

  You can use these as a reference, but please make your disclosure page your own. It should come from you with your writing personality. But it should include all the legal requirements and don’t forget to add in the Amazon statement if you are an Amazon affiliate.

  I don’t make a full separate disclosure page for my blog. I include it at the bottom of my Privacy Page. You can do this, as well, or you can make it a full page. It’s entirely up to you how you do it as long as you do it.

  Privacy Policy Page – Why You Need One

  • July 1, 2020

  A privacy policy page is a must-have for bloggers, so don’t skip this page. In this article, I’ll go over why a privacy page is so important as well as show you how to create one.

  Your blog has been created and you have some posts written. You’re good to go, right?

  Not so fast.

  Every blog needs a privacy policy page in order to comply with state, federal, and global laws. These laws protect consumer privacy rights in every state.

  Refusing to follow these laws can land you some hefty fines.

  But, don’t worry. Creating a privacy policy page for your blog isn’t difficult and can be done fairly easy. I’ll show you how!

  First, let’s go over what the heck this page even is.

  

  To read about all the important pages your blog should have, click here.

  What is a privacy policy page?

  Whenever you visit any website, you are leaving behind pieces of information. This includes your name, email address, IP address, and more.

  The purpose of this page is to disclose:

  • what information the website collects
  • what the website does with collected information
  • who else has access to that information
  • how the information is protected
  • how long the information is kept

  Creating a privacy policy page protects you from legal liability and protects your readers from any potential privacy breaches.

  Since just about every website you visit is collecting privacy information, you need to be protected.

  How blogs collect private information

  Blogs are no different that other websites when it comes to attracting an audience. We all want our audiences to eventually convert to subscribers. To do that, we have to collect their names and email addresses.

  However, that’s not the only way blogs collect private information from readers. The list goes on and on.

  How private information is collected:

  • List sign up forms (so readers can sign up for your email list)
  • Contact forms
  • Chat tools (require email or other personal information)
  • Social sharing tools (anytime a reader shares your blog post)
  • Comment form
  • Ecommerce (for online stores)
  • Cookies (most websites require that you accept the cookies)
  • Third party services (such as ads)

  If your blog has one or more of these items (and most likely it does) then you must have a privacy policy page to comply with the rules.

  How to create a privacy policy page

  To begin with, let’s go over what this page should have and do.

  A privacy policy page should:

  • be well written and easy to understand
  • identify all the possible ways your blog is collecting readers’ personal information
  • include information you collect directly (ex: pop-up forms) and indirectly (ex: ads)
  • acknowledge your respect for and regard to all applicable laws

  My favorite way to create a privacy page is with a privacy policy generator. This is so simple – just fill out some information and the generator does all the hard work for you.

  The generator I use for my page is PrivacyPolicies.com. It’s super simple and the best part is that it’s free to use!

  After filling out all of the required information, you have the option to download it or copy and paste it right into your page.

  They also offer free clauses for analytics tools and ads. If you want anything extra, you will have to pay for it.

  Where to place the page on your blog

  After you’ve created your privacy policy page and published it, you want to make sure it is somewhere that it can be seen. This can include your footer, your sidebar, or in a secondary menu. A link to the page can also be placed in a sub-menu as a drop-down under your “about” section.

  You must familiarize yourself with all the legalities if you are serious about running a successful money-making blog.

  Creating an Amazing About Me Page

  • June 24, 2020

  Do you really need an about me page for your blog? We’ll cover that answer and more in this article on creating an amazing about me page.

  You may be asking yourself if an ‘About Me’ page is really important for your blog. Guess what? It is!

  An ‘About Me’ is usually where potential clients go first because they want to learn more about who you are what it is that you do.

  This page is also a great way to promote your brand.

  The con of writing an ‘About Me’ page is that it’s not exactly easy to do. However, if you follow my tips you will be creating an amazing ‘About Me’ page with no problem whatsoever.

  

  Why do you need an ‘about me’ page?

  Believe it or not, your ‘about me’ page isn’t about you at all.

  It’s about the person who clicked on the link to get to the page.

  Consider your ‘about me’ page your interview with your readers. You are working on building a trusting relationship and connecting with your readers. Also, you want them to understand exactly why they need you to help them over anyone else.

  What exactly is an ‘about me’ page?

  Most of the time the ‘about me’ page is the first page a new reader visits. So it’s very important to have a link to this page somewhere you know readers will see it immediately. It’s also usually the most visited page on your site.

  Whenever a new visitor comes to your site they want to learn more about who you are as a person or as a business. They want to hear your personal story as well as how your business came to be. This page is where you will build trusted relationships with your readers and keep them coming back.

  An ‘about me’ page is your chance to connect with your audience and keep them intrigued. You want to convince them you are the person they should be working with. You need to include your bio, your credentials, and your story.

  Creating an amazing about me page step-by-step

  Step 1: Trigger a feeling

  The very first thing you want to do when writing an ‘about me’ page is to grab the reader’s attention immediately. This can be done with a statement that triggers a feeling in the reader.

  Let the reader know that you understand why they visited your site. Ask questions about your business and if the reader answers “yes” to more than one question, they know they are in the right place.

  Example: Are you always to busy to elaborate meals? Are you constantly too tired to cook? Are you eating out more than eating at home? Then you’re in the right place!

  Step 2: Get into their heads

  The second section an ‘about me’ page should allow people to decide whether or not you are the right one for them. Use empathy to get into their heads and make them believe you really understand them.

  Stir up their emotions and really get them on your side.

  Example: “You’ve tried everything to lose weight and nothing is working. You’ve cut out carbs and sugars and it’s still not working. It’s frustrating and depressing. Believe me – I get it! I’ve been there, too!”

  Step 3: Brag through others

  Sure we can brag on ourselves all day, but other people get sick of that eventually. What they want to know is what other people are saying about us.

  What other people are saying about us speaks louder than what we can ever say about ourselves.

  While you are creating an amazing ‘about me’ page for your blog, add a section of testimonials and social proof of others speaking for you. This lets your readers picture themselves as part of your community.

  Example: “What others are saying about me.”

  Step 4: Add your bio

  Once you have proven to your audience that you deeply care about them, tell them more about yourself.

  Make a personal connection with your readers by

  • stating why you do what you do
  • stating your mission
  • using a short story to sum up your background (make it memorable)
  • including a photo or 2 of yourself

  People connect with other people. They want to see faces and learn names.

  Step 5: Ask them to keep in touch

  To make sure your readers are going to stick around, ask them to keep in touch by signing up for your email list. You could offer an incentive to get them even more excited to join, such as a free resource or ebook.

  Include multiple options for readers to sign up for your email list throughout the page. Your first option should go under the second section – after you’ve told them exactly why they need you. The next option should be after your testimonials and social proof and the last option should be at the very end of the page.

  My best tips:

  • When creating an amazing ‘about me’ page you want to use your own writing voice.
  • Don’t be afraid to use a little humor, just don’t overdo it.
  • Make sure you include your name and your credentials.
  • Add a photo to let your readers see what you look like because this builds trust.
  • Don’t drag your story out, get to the point.
  • Remember: your ‘about me’ page isn’t about you at all.
  • Talk to the readers about:
    • why they should be on your site
    • the problems you solve
    • how you can help them
    • what they are interested in

  How to Write a Start Here Page

  • June 24, 2020

  A “Start Here” page, also sometimes called “Begin Here” or “[Your Blog Name] 101”, is a page on a blog that’s designed for new visitors. It’s kind of like a tour guide: it helps them navigate the blog’s content efficiently.

  Here’s what a Start Here page offers:

  • Introduction: A brief overview of the purpose of your blog, the topics you write about, and the value your posts provide to readers.
  • Content Highlights: Includes your blog’s most popular posts, categorized by topic or theme. This lets new visitors find the topics they’re looking for easily.
  • Navigation Guide: Blogs can accumulate a large amount of content over time, so a Start Here page can help readers understand how your blog is organized. It might explain categories, tags, or how to search for specific topics.
  • Call to Action: This could be anything from subscribing to your blog’s email list to following you on social media.

  The goal of a Start Here page is to improve the experience for new visitors by:

  • Reducing bounce rate: Giving visitors a clear direction makes them less likely to get lost and leave the blog altogether.
  • Increasing engagement: Highlighting your best content gets visitors hooked and encourages them to explore further. And possibly sign up for more so they never miss a post.
  • Building a community: A Start Here page can also be a platform to introduce you and your personality, which proves you are a human that readers can relate to.

  Basically, a Start Here page is a valuable tool for bloggers to make a good first impression and turn new visitors into loyal readers.

  

  What’s the Difference Between a Home Page and a Start Here Page?

  A home page is meant to catch attention. It let’s visitors know what you do and how you can solve their problems.

  On the other hand, a start here page leads visitors in the right direction and draws attention to your best content.

  How to Write a Start Here Page for Your Blog

  Step 1: Make a memorable first impression.

  The first line of your Start Here page must grab the attention of the reader immediately. Sometimes, readers will only look at this page so you only have a few seconds to grab their attention and keep them reading.

  Create a headline that offers a solution to their problem, such as:

  • “Are you dreaming of working from home and spending more time with your family?”
  • “Have you tried to lose weight but find it impossible?”
  • “Is your home filling up with too much stuff? Let’s unclutter together!”

  Step 2: Create a human connection.

  Be personal and vulnerable. People like reading stories about others that they can relate to. Don’t just share all of your achievements, add in some struggles you’ve encountered, too.

  The idea here is to relate to your ideal reader on a personal level. Think of yourself as talking to a friend.

  Be sure to include a photo of yourself, preferably one of you with a smile.

  • Example: “Hi! I’m ___________ and I really enjoy ______________ but not ____________.”

  Step 3: State who you are helping.

  Be very clear upfront on exactly who your target audience is. If you’re trying to help bloggers learn how to make money, then someone who’s looking for recipes will know they can’t find any on your site.

  Also, be sure to state the purpose behind your blog. Are you writing to educate, inform, entertain, solve a problem?

  This is the step that is answering your reader’s questions: “What’s in it for me? What can you do for me?”

  • Example: “Let’s cut to the chase: this blog is for you if you’re an aspiring blogger anxious to turn your passion into profit. Feeling lost in a sea of information on how to make money blogging? We’ve all been there. That’s why we created this resource – to guide you through the process, step-by-step.”

  Step 4: Explain exactly how you are going to help.

  After focusing on who you are going to help, state exactly how you plan to help them. What can you do for them that others can’t?

  • Example: “I’ve been helping new and established bloggers build and grow a successful money-making website for 5 years.”

  Step 5: Prove it.

  Here is where you get to show off your credibility so you need to share visible proof of your expertise.

  You can do this by sharing testimonials from clients, social proof (followers), blog traffic stats, income reports, academic or corporate background.

  Another great way to prove your credibility is to share logos from big sites that you’ve collaborated with on your page.

  • Example: “See what others are saying!” (Share a few testimonies.)

  Step 6: Convert readers to subscribers.

  Now you’ve made a personal connection with your readers and you have proven you can help them solve their problems.

  By now they are loving you, but chances are they may not remember to come back to your site.

  Include a call to action to get them on your mailing list. You can do this by adding a button that leads to a landing page or an embedded form on your contact page.

  • Example: “Don’t miss out on valuable insights and the latest strategies. Subscribe to my email list for exclusive content, actionable tips, and inspiration delivered straight to your inbox. We offer a hassle-free unsubscribe option, so you’re always in control.”

  Also add your social media links and ask readers to engage with you there. This will make you stand out as well as make you more memorable. And remember to be active on social media!

  • Example: “Want more awesome tips and connect with a supportive community of fellow bloggers? Follow me on social media!”

  Step 7: Show them your best content.

  Make it easy for readers to find what they’re looking for by adding links to your most popular posts. You can also use thumbnail images for visuals.

  • Example: “Readers also love these: (link to posts)!”

  What Should I Put on My Start Here Page?

  When thinking about what to put on your Start Here page, ask yourself these two questions:

  1. What do I want visitors to learn about when they find my website?
  2. How can I let visitors know they are in the right place?

  Make a list of things that answer those two questions. Then ask yourself:

  1. Do these things add value to my audience and to myself?
  2. Can I organize these things to make them flow well together?

  If the answer is “no” to either of these, then you’ve identified something that doesn’t belong on the page.

  Here are some ideas of what to include:

  • Featured opt-in: Make visitors feel welcome by offering them a free gift, such as a mini course, checklist, workbook, or anything else of value.
  • Your most popular posts: Or a list of posts that new visitors would find most helpful while learning about your topic.
  • Categories: Instead of a list of post, consider showing posts from specific categories. This lets visitors decide what they want to dig into first.
  • About section: Your Start Here page is a great way to introduce yourself.
  • Social media links: Make it easy for visitors to find and follow you on social media.
  • Products and services: Keep this short and sweet because first timers aren’t likely to buy from you. They need to know they can trust you first.

  Where Should I Put the Link to My Start Here Page?

  There are four places on your website that are best for placing the link to this important page:

  • In the top navigation bar on the left side: Since people read from left to right (in most languages), left is usually the direction the eyes go to first.
  • In the sidebar
  • A large call-to-action on your homepage
  • Your welcome email

  My best tips:

  • Use shorter paragraphs that contain only 2-3 sentences to make your page easy to scan. Most of the time readers only read the first 2 sentences of a paragraph before moving on.
  • Speak like a knowledgeable friend, not a condescending jerk. You want your readers to like you and find you friendly. This helps them connect with you. If you speak like a know-it-all and talk down to them they may not stick around very long.
  • Tell your story in a relatable way. Use words that trigger certain emotions in your readers to make them feel your story is also their story.

  Key Takeaways:

  • A “Start Here” page acts as a tour guide for new visitors to your blog, helping them navigate your content and understand what you’re all about.
  • This page can significantly improve the user experience by reducing bounce rates, increasing engagement, and fostering a sense of community.
  • To write an effective “Start Here” page, focus on making a strong first impression, showcasing your credibility, and providing clear calls to action for readers to subscribe or explore further.
  • Include elements like an introduction, content highlights, navigation guide, and links to your best content.
  • Remember to prioritize scannable content, a friendly voice, and a relatable story to connect with your audience.
