If you have being looking for ways on how you can make your blog interactive in order to build a community around it, you have come to the right place.
Below are tips on how to make your blog interactive:
Create A Controversial Post:
Publishing a controversial post on your blog will make your blog an interactive blog. Why? Because people who are against you will try to share their opinion with you in order to hit the fact about the post.
Controversial post has been one of the fantastic ways to make your blog interactive. People who want to abuse you or nag at you will use that opportunity to do that. But not that they will take it personal, they just want to share their opinion by speaking their mind.
If you are to create a controversial post, make sure you have enough points that will back up your post, because if you don’t have good and solid points, people will think that you just post anything you see. But if you have enough points to back it up, they will know that you are trying to express your mind on the subject. Don’t be scared to publish a controversial post, it’s just about expressing your mind and sees what people will say about it.
If they don’t support that notion, they will simply let you know and if they support the notion, you will get notified by them. You just make sure that you have enough points to back up your post.
Reply To Your Readers:
One of the thing that has been going on the blogosphere is that, is it compulsory to reply to all your readers comments? Well, I think it’s not compulsory. You should reply to the major comments that are worth to be replied. But if you want to reply to all your comments, then no problem in doing that. It shows that you care. And I’m sure readers would be glad to read your reply to their comment.
Replying to readers comment matters a lot to them, and they will feel happy because the author is taking his or her time to read and reply to their comment. One thing you should always try to do is to answer any question that’s been asked from your readers. If you are not able to reply them, most of them might felt bad and they might be thinking otherwise. You just try to reply to comments that worth to be replied to.
Build Your List:
You can make your blog interactive by building your list. I’m sure you will be wondering how? When people subscribed to your blog, you can interact with them by sending them blog updates and ask questions about how they feel about your blog post or your news update. Also you can tell them to share with you any problem they might be facing so as to help them trash it out. I’m sure they would be glad to do so.
By doing that, you are gradually making your blog interactive. If you are able to carry out this operation perfectly, readers will spread the word about your blog. You can see that, that’s another way to make readers help you promote your blog?
So try to build your list from day one. Even if you can make money from it, you will also be able to interact with your readers.
Encourage Comments:
Encouraging comments on your blog is one of the ways to make your blog interactive. That’s why it’s good to always enable comments on every post you published. Because readers will be able to share their opinions.
To encourage comments on your blog, you can do that by asking them to speak their mind or share theirs thoughts about the post by using the comment section. I’m always using that on my blog and I’m glad that readers are turning up. Doing this simply shows that their opinions are valued. And I’m sure they would be glad to do that.
Speak Your Mind!
