Otherwise, there s no point in publishing in a magazine or blog that isn t your own. Should you have a byline in your own blog? Depends on your personal taste. In any case, on your own website, you should make it perfectly comes from you or has your approval. Basically, you are responsible and accountable for everything that is published on your website. For example, in Neil Patel s blog, even though there s no byline, it is abundantly clear that it is indeed his website. His images are splashed all over the site. His face is basically the brand of his business. No matter who is writing these blog posts, it s Neil s words. Personally, I like having a byline on The Side Blogger.
This also allows me to commission other writers or have guest bloggers from time to photo editing servies time and they all publish under their own bylines. So, having a consistent design across the site where you always see the author s name in every single article is useful. Now, let s talk about author bios. What is an author bio? An author bio is a short profile of who the author is in – words. These bios may include a concise overview of the author, a quick portfolio, and optionally a link to their website or social media.
The image below shows the author bio of Si Quan Ong who writes on Ahrefs blog. An example of an author bio from Ahrefs blog. An example of an author bio from Ahrefs blog. In blogs or online magazines and news outlets, you may see the author bio in a few different ways In a website, an author bio may not appear alongside the article. But, the byline may be hyperlinked with the author s bio page as in, when you click the author s name, it takes you to a separate page that has the author s bio and a list of articles they have published on that website.
