How do you create a response?
By Mike | July 19, 2007
Going to start adding in the questions that came fom the call I did on July 5th. This will be the first of a series. You can listen to the whole 1-3/4 hour call at The Call Replay.
One of the other big questions that comes up frequently is creating a response from your readers. This can take quite a bit of time and effort.
One of the easiest ways is to ask people to comment.
If you don’t ask you will never get. If you notice quite frequently (like every post) I ask for feedback.
The other thing is to comment on other blogs. If you are participating in the conversation here or linking to here whether it be good, bad or indifferent the odds increase that I will be visiting and commenting back. This works well when the topics are similar.
It does me no good to go comment about knitting for this blog. Now if you talk about blogging or WordPress it makes sense for me to be in the conversation.
These are just a couple things you can do. Do make sure that when you do comment you are participating in the conversation and not spamming. You don’t have to agree but so be on topic and further the conversation.
And to follow my own advice (hey it does happen on occasion) if you have questions or comments feel free to post them or for questions you can click the survey box at the top.

I like what you have to say. I admit I have to start asking as well. I started my blog on July 7th and I have been getting about 50 visitors a day, but ony one comment. That was from the person whom I reviewed their site. It’s just like referrals in sales, you won;t get any unless you ask.
