The next page I want to walk through is the start here page and this could be seen as the About page.
I call it the start here page.
And a lot of other people in the newer Web site building world call it a start here page because really
the About page is for that new person who comes to your website and wants to find out more.
But start here Page is a little bit more than just an About page because it includes lots of resources
and links to other content of yours that you want new people to visit.
And at the end of the day that is exactly what your start here page is there to do.
It's there to explain more about what your Web site is about to teach them a little bit more about that
topic that your web site is on then to point them in the right direction for moving forward.
So here on my own start here page I validate myself with the courses the students in my courses and
the tutorials that I have.
And then I talk about what this Web site is all about how I started video school online.
You know this is getting people warmed up to who I am.
So I share my own personal story.
I include photos of myself.
You want people to warm up to you.
You want warm traffic on your Web site.
They are more likely to purchase your products services get in touch with you like your other social
media pages watch your videos on YouTube or even sign up for your e-mail list.
Below I explain what they can get out of this Web site.
So that's important to do on your start here page.
You want to you know just explain exactly what this Web site is.
You want people's expectations to be matched when they visit your web site.
If it's not matched then they're going to leave your Web site.
And that means your balance rate is going to increase.
And that's actually going to hurt your Osseo.
So by explaining on your start here Page what your website is about you can make sure that it matches
their expectations and they continue checking out your Web site down below.
I share more of my personal story so again just more information about who I am and then I offer them
access to my seven step guide to be a part of that tribe to basically join my community.
And then I include my best posts related to different topics.
I know that I still have lots of people coming to video school on line for all kinds of reasons.
So I break it down into online teaching online business video creation personal finance and photography
categories and last.
I just have a thank you.
So the goal is that after reading this people are going to be clicking on these other links.
Opening them up and new tabs potentially signing up for my email list.
Clicking on these other links up here where I have a ton of great other content to keep people on my
Web site now as quickly just go through the other inspirational Web sites that I've been using with
Spart passive income.
His star here Page is a little different.
We saw earlier that if you click the Start button he actually breaks down his start.
Here or has more about sections into different pages.
The first is passive income 101 where you can actually learn what is passive income and this is really
what people are going to be coming to his Web site for.
So it includes content on this page like different podcast episodes that explain what passive income
is.
He myth Mythbusters some things that passive income is all about and things that people probably know
or think about income when they come to this site.
And then he just includes Again more resources trying to get people to get warmed up to him potentially
clicking on his links where he's an affiliate and really just giving more content.
You can also go to his very best of P.I. where he gives his best content that he likes.
What's trending the most popular of all time.
And then he also has an about me page and more of a business y page.
So this is basically what I did on one page.
He's broken it down into multiple pages.
What Pat's doing here is he's trying to segment his content so it's very specific for each page but
he's giving a way to find it easily for a visitor and this works well on a bigger web site like his
with millions of views every month on a different web site.
If you're just starting out you can probably do it more simple on one page with simple green smoothies.
Really what they're trying to do is teach about smoothies.
Teach about what their purpose is how to make a smoothie you see on their home page that they actually
have a recipe for a smoothie so they're giving away great high quality content on this start here page.
Then after reading through all this great content learning about smoothies getting some free recipes
they have a sign up here but I actually think that the sign Sign-Up option should be a little bit bigger.
It's pretty small and a lot of people might miss it if they're just kind of scrolling and scanning through
this page but they must be doing something right because they're making a ton of money with their smoothie
recipes on college and.
It's very similar to my start here page he includes information about what this Web site is.
He has some of his best content including a video from his YouTube channel some of his best posts.
Lots of his best posts his best podcasts articles that he thinks people new to the Web site might be
interested and at the bottom of the page.
He has an opt in form and then he has a traditional about page 2 where he can give a little bit more
information about himself.
And it's not as much of a content driving page where he's driving people to other content of his.
Just getting people warm to him introducing himself and his story.
If you're building a Web site where you are the brand where you're the face of your Web site this is
so important to share your story to be vulnerable and to give yourself to your audience.
People really resonate with that.
People will see right through you if you're putting on a face if you're fake.
So it's important to share yourself and share yours on a story with your web site visitors and a great
place to do this is your start here page and your about page.
If it's separate or the same.
So remember when you're creating your start here page make sure that it's something that gives more
information about your content.
It shares a little bit more about your story so that people can trust you as a web site creator.
It prompts people to join your community whether you have an email list social media pages and it directs
people to the next content that you suggest people to look at.
Thanks so much for watching and have a great day.
