How to get comments on a blog post

Have you ever visited a blog and see that readers have made comments on a post, but the owner of the blog does not respond? When I see that, it makes me think the owner of the blog does not care about their readers. They don't want to establish relationships with their existing audience in order to build trust and loyalty. What does this look like to visitors to their blog. Will they want to return to a blog that makes them feel unimportant? My answer would be "No."

When someone comments on your blog (not spam), take the time to respond. This will demonstrate your professionalism and dedication to your existing audience as well as your desire to reach new readers.

It's easy to explain why commenters should interact with you, but it is not difficult to think, " How do I get people comments?"

Ask a Question

Ask your readers questions at the end of each article. People love to give their opinions and/or share their experiences... especially when you ask for it. You could ask the following questions:

What do you think?

Have you had any experiences with xxx in the past? If so, was it good or bad?

What other tips could you add to the ones I have listed?

Post a Video

Video has been a big hit on the Internet, as many of you already know. They are very popular and people love to see them. You can feel more connected to your readers through them. This, in turn, will bring more comments. You can still post a video but you should include written content and ask the question above. You may be surprised to see what interaction you will get with your audience.

Get Personal

You can add your own story to a blog post even if it is serious. This is something I have seen many bloggers do. They will describe something that has happened to them that is related to their blog post topic and then go into the facts. Similar to this article. I started out sharing how I have felt when I see a blog and there are no comments from the blog owner and how important that should be done.

Sharing something personal motivates readers and encourages them to share their stories. In addition to getting them to comment, it will also help you learn more about your audience.

Comment on Other Blogs

If you have read a blog post that you have really liked, make a comment for the blog owner. Many times, the blog owner or other readers will visit your site and may comment on one your blog posts.

People have posted "Blog Comment Exchanges" to social media. The people list their blogs URLs and everyone then takes the time to comment on other's blogs. Personally, I have not participated in these because it does not seem natural to me. But that is my preference. You might find it useful. It may work for you, but I recommend that you keep your eyes open for spammers and ensure you are comfortable with other bloggers who have posted their blogs.

The Controversial

If you do not mind debates, write a blog post about a potentially heated topic. People LOVE to share their opinions on these types of posts. It motivates them to bring out their emotions and www.oc-classicjazz.org give their side of the story. Personally, I have not read a lot of blog posts that are geared toward this because I do not necessarily enjoy debates, but I do see posts on social media that do the same thing and they get tons of comments.

Report News

Like controversies, people get very motivated about newsworthy topics. If there is something in the news that is related to your niche, write a blog post about it with an excerpt from the original news article (with proper attribution, of course). You can either explain why you disagree with the article or be neutral and just pass the information on.

Readers seem to relate to these types of posts because they have seen other articles written about it and will want to pass that information along in a comment.
