Do you want to learn how to increase your comment count? Unfortunately, most new bloggers will have to face this problem. Fortunately however, increasing your number of comment is an easy task. Just follow these 6 tips and you are good to go.
1. Participate in the conversation - Be approachable, answer the questions and write your thoughts on your readers contribution. Recognizing your readers will encourage them to keep commenting on your blog posts and will encourage others to join in the conversation.
2. Comment on relevant blogs - This is by far, the best way to start getting noticed by other bloggers and increase your comments. Unlike visitors that come from the search engines, the likelihood of getting a comment from bloggers are higher. This is because they too, would like to join in the conversation with other bloggers, and make friends. It's best to make a routine of blog commenting at the start of your blogging journey.
3. Encourage participation by asking your readers questions - An easy way to increase the number of comment is by asking questions at the end of your article. Qhen you ask people for their opinion, they are more likely to give it to you.
4. Write controversial posts - Don't be afraid to speak your heart out. There are times when one needs to choose a side. When the time calls for it, it doesn't hurt to go against the norm and against the conventions. This will not only help increase comment counts, but also help increase the number of your faithful readers.
