Your Author Bio is Different Than Your Resource Box
Unlike the RESOURCE BOX that is located directly below the ARTICLE BODY, the “AUTHOR BIO” is located on our site in what we call the “EXPERT AUTHOR VIEW” (that you can find by clicking on any author’s name when viewing an article.)
- 37% of Platinum authors have bio’s uploaded.
- 21% of Basic-Plus authors have bio’s uploaded.
- 10% of Basic authors have bio’s uploaded.
This leaves over 30,000+ EzineArticles expert authors who get to upload their “Author Bio” soon…:) If you’re one of them, Log in, click on PROFILE MANAGER, click on EDIT AUTHOR BIO, click on your author name and upload your bio today. The quickest way to formulate your bio if you haven’t done one in a while is to use your most recent resource box as a template minus any product pitch because you’re pitching yourself in the Author Bio.
What is the advantage to having an author bio?
I have one, but don’t feel like it really says much of anything special.
I also know that in all the times I’ve read articles on this site, I have never gone back to read bios unless it was someone in my own field and I wanted to try to make contact with them.
Perhaps if the benefits of having an author bio were clearer, the participation rate would increase.
Just a thought…
