The resource box is the short author bio which will sit below your article every time that it’s published. The resource box is super important because:
1) It contains a link aimed at your website. This means that every time your article is republished, you build another back-link.
2) It establishes expertise-in your author bio, you will give the actual reader some indication of why you should be regarded as an authority about the topic.
3) It gives you a chance to encourage people to click through to your website. People will see a hyperlink in your resource box, but they will not necessarily follow the link unless you give them a reason to. The text you use within your resource box has the power to convert readers in to clickers! When people click the hyperlink in your resource box, you’re building targeted traffic aimed at your website (which is what you’re after!).
As you’re crafting your resource boxes, here are some things to keep in mind:
Your resource box should not exceed 450 characters (such as spaces). This is the character limit for many publishers.
There is no have to write ‘About The Author’ or any wording to that effect. People will automatically know that the text in your resource is ‘about the author’, so you don’t want to use up your valuable character limit with unneeded wording.
You do not need to include your phone, email, or fax number-just an internet site address is good sufficient. The idea is they are driving traffic back to your website. If someone wants to contact you, they should be able to find that info at your website.
For best results, create a new resource box for every article, one that is customized to match the article.
Use the resource box they are driving traffic to a solitary website.
Test your links to be sure they work.
Give readers a reason to click through aimed at your website.
