Contact

Whether it’s for your visitors or potential paid work, an easy and obvious way to contact you is a must.

1. How to contact you – If it’s a form they need to fill out, keep it short and to the point. Offer an alternative way to contact you just in case.

2. What to contact you about – Such as, “I’d love to hear any ideas you have for collaborating or working together to promote your brand,” or “We’re a media-friendly blog. Please contact me for details on sponsorship and advertising opportunities, and I’ll gladly put together a custom package for you,” or “I’d love to hear your feedback on my blog. If you have any comments or questions, please get in touch below.” or “Please don’t contact me about SEO or web design services.”

3. When to expect a reply – If for some reason you miss their message (your contact form doesn’t work, the email goes to spam, or it isn’t delivered for some reason), letting people know when they should hear back from you gives them a chance to follow up again if they don’t hear anything. You could also offer another way to get in touch, such as your Twitter account, if it’s not already prominent on your website.
 

Tip: Most people find their contact page is very short, and that’s totally fine. It’s normal to have a few shorter posts or pages on your website, as long as the vast majority are at least 300 words. A short contact page is less distracting and increases your chances of someone contacting you. If you’re really concerned, add some extra text separately under your main contact details/form such as an extended testimonial, a list of some of the companies or blogs you’ve work
