How To Get More People To Respond To Your Blog Post

By Yussef Smith


Perhaps you have just started a blog. However, you have this feeling that you are in a ghost town. Somehow, no one is responding to any of your blog post. As an aspiring blogger, it can be quite discouraging. Well, don't lose hope yet! It is definitely possible to get more people to comment, like or retweet your blog post. Let me share a few tips with you.



1. Get More Traffic: Hopefully, you have installed Google Analytics or any other tracking software on your website. At the very least, you need to know how many people are visiting your website every single day. If you are getting less than 10 visitors a day, you shouldn't be expecting to see 20 comments, likes or tweets, unless you love to see spams. The obvious thing you should do now is to increase the traffic to your website.

When you have a decent level of traffic, it is much easier for you to do any form of split testing needed to increase the response rate of your website. 2. The Topic Of Your Website: Put it this way. If you are a business owner who sells stationery and you are blogging about pencils, you are probably not going to get a lot of comments.

Yes, I do need to use a pencil from time to time but I am just not passionate about it. I just don't feel compelled to comment on a blog post about pencils. Sometimes, you just need to be realistic. Blog post on popular topics such as self help, relationship and weight loss are usually going to get more comments. If you receive about 10 to 20 comments for the blog post on pencil, it is already considered a remarkable achievement.

Most surveys suffer from low response rates but you can remedy this by also giving your respondents a good reason to share their time with you. Offer them a discount to your product or service. If this is your first time to send a survey, experiment with different survey formats and strategies until you get a winning formula. Don't give up until you have at least 70% of the people you invite taking your survey.
