  • CS Lewis spent hours’ corresponding with his fans. He answered questions from his band.
  • Answering need questions, it makes a good tool for search optimism. Your reader, maybe timely asks the questions and you answer it. Others with similar questions can find you when searching the same questions.
  • Authors can ask what I have to offer to your ‘timely’ reader. You write down his possible questions, how he can interact. Might want to know about me.

The home page.

– A. put the home page in third person. Blogs can be first person. You need to rank your own name. You can put in your name on your home page.

– B. decide what re the problems your website is solving .geared around why others might seek your website.

– Some want to contact you. Have a contact page. Journalists need to have a press kit. Someone want to do a book cover. Have a speaker page.
