Internet Marketing Training on Getting More Comments in Your Blog

Friday, May 22nd, 2009 at 12:00 am

From the previous post we’ve learned how important commenting to blogs is in getting yourself heard and making an impression. But if commenting is essential in this sense, what more to bloggers who wanted people to comment? Unfortunately, statistics have it that in 100 readers, only 1 of them comments in your blogs.

So how do you get more people to comment on your blog? Here are some internet marketing tips:

Invite. Ask and it shall be given, right?! If you give your readers the impression that you needed their opinion, more likely those people will do. However, you might need to provide some instructions on how leave comments on your website as there are reasonably a number of readers who are not familiar with leaving comments.
Ask. Ending your post with questions like “what do you think?”, “do you agree?”, and other related questions can also help in making people comment on your blog. By asking, you are opening a chance for your readers to provide their insights.
Interact. When someone leaves you a comment, comment back. Whether you express your gratitude for the commenter or express your agreement or otherwise, will help in building relationship with your readers.
Be Humble. Some readers comment when they see something wrong (sometimes with facts, typo and grammatical errors). Be humble to accept your mistakes and make necessary corrections. Do inform them, too when those corrections have already been made.
Be Controversial. Get people talk about your post. Nothing raises one’s interest to comment than a topic that intrigues them and triggers their emotions.

With these tips, hopefully the number of commenter in your blog raises. Good luck!
