1. Introduce Yourself

Tell the world a little about who you are. We like to think of this like an “elevator pitch”, you've only got a few seconds to get someone interested in your blog and knowing who you are goes a long way to them investing in your story, your journey, your experience.

As with all of our prompts, only share what you're comfortable with but some ideas include:

• How old are you?

• Where are you from?

• What are you passionate about?

2. Introduce Your Online Presence

Part of understanding who you are is knowing where you are - and we don't just mean this as in your physical location or in some philosophical way. This is more about someone found your blog and now they want to find you elsewhere, so where can they find you to learn more about you.

• Is there a social network you post on frequently? BlueSky, Instagram, etc.

• Do you post videos on YouTube or livestream somewhere?

• Do you have more writing that you want people to see?

3. Introduce Your Hobbies

Much like the “What are you passionate about?” question above, telling folks about your hobbies is a great way to find community with others who also share your interests.
