Always, always include your freebie in the about me page. (Preferably just after the first two paragraphs and throughout the copy in strategic places)

Share a few testimonials or words of praise for your blog and you.
Share information about your products/services like books, coaching calls, workshops etc.
Conclude the copy with your vision for the blog and invite the people to connect you on social media or your email list. (I call it call to action)
