I'm excited to share this new series with you, called "101 Blogging Tips". In the series there will be 101 quick, short and sweet blogging tips that you can begin applying to your blog right away!
Tip #11: Keep the Conversation Going.
In managing a blog it is important to involve reader participation and to want to keep a dialog with them, improving the chances of having them return and to continue reading and commenting on your site.
- Write posts that encourage people to want to comment; such as asking for an opinion, or to make a choice between a few paint samples you are deciding on in decorating your new office for example.
- When people do comment, keep the conversation going. Let them know that you have read their comments and available to answer their questions.
- Make it easy for visitors to comment! However, there may be an increase in spam, so keep that in mind and you'll find what is best for your site – comment moderation or not, word verification or not.
P.S. I'm back from vacation! While sharing blogging tips with you this week, I am also going to publish my first blog video tutorial to share with you!
Thanks Heather,
One of the most frustrating aspects of blogging is to get the conversation starting. There is a nice website called blogsynergy.com where bloggers can interact and choose to collaborate by subscribing and commenting on each other’ s blogs.
Hope to see your video soon.
Thanks Samantha!
I will check that out 😀
