If your About Page jumps straight into your backstory without a strong hook, you’re missing one of the most powerful opportunities to grab attention and guide your audience through the rest of your message.
In this LIVE Copy Audit with Shannon Boyer—an award-winning educator and course design expert for purpose-driven entrepreneurs—we focus on one of the most overlooked but high-impact elements of an About Page: the hook statement. I share four bold opening lines Shannon can use to lead into her story and explain why the first few lines of your About Page are crucial for creating connection, positioning your expertise, and keeping people engaged.
Whether you’re writing copy for your website, sales pages, homepage, email sequences, about page, product launch copy, or program launch copy, what you say at the top of the page matters. And it’s time to make your opening line work harder.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why the first few lines of your About Page can make or break engagement
- What makes a hook statement compelling—and what to avoid
- Examples of bold opening lines that immediately draw the reader in
- How to set up your story so it leads naturally into your offer
- Why your About Page is a conversion copy opportunity you don’t want to overlook
Tune in for actionable copy strategies that will make your About Page your secret sales tool that will convert more readers into buyers of your service, product, or offer!
