3 Mistakes to Avoid When Interacting with Blog Readers
If you’re using a blog to generate traffic, one of the best things that you can do is
allow people to comment on your post. In fact, an even better thing to do is to
respond to their comments, answer their questions and give advice when needed.
But there are some rules that come with interacting with blog readers so that you
don’t make a mistake that will result in your traffic going down instead of up. Here
are three mistakes to avoid when responding to comments posted on your blog:
ONE
The first mistake is one that actually happens quite often with bloggers.
They sometimes make the mistake of only posting on comments where a
question is asked, and you are being aloof and professional. You’re trying
to develop a relationship with these readers and that means interacting
with them on a more personal level. You want the readers to think of you
as a friend and advisor not as some faceless blogger so make sure that
you interact that way.
TWO
Another thing that you want to be sure that you do is avoid controversial
Even if other people in your comment thread are discussing politics or religion,
and you feel as if you should weigh in, don’t. No matter what you believe or
don’t believe, as the blogger and host, you want to be completely neutral on
controversial subjects like politics and religion. However, keep in mind that’s
only for the comments section. You can use politics or a controversial subject
to create a blog post to attract traffic. But just avoid arguments and
discussions about them.
THREE
Finally, never lose your temper. You don’t have to be professional and you can
be friendly, but just make sure that you don’t get angry at someone even if they
are disparaging you or your blog, especially if they are just trolling. Losing your
cool takes away your expertise. People are reading your blog because they believe
you to be an expert in a certain field. When you lose your temper, even though it
has nothing to do with your expertise, people still judge you based upon. Also, if
you make an error in your blog – like a factual error – don’t be afraid to make a
comment and retracted and apologized for it. Your readers will respect you for that.
