Engage Your Readers | Encourage them to comment!

Blogs are designed for one person to share their knowledge or experience with a community.  Now most people only read through the information they need on a blog and carry on with their day. This is ok to do sometimes but blog owners want to see feedback.

The next time you read someones blog leave them a comment or question.

Tell them that you really liked their blog post and to keep it up.

or

Tell them that their blog is hard to navigate and they should work on their layout.

Weather it is good or bad blog owners want to see an interaction between the readers and themselves.

So what do you have to say?

3 Simple Ways to Shock Your Readers


What you write should be inspirational to your readers.  When they get finished reading what you wrote they should want to act in the manner you were directing them.

How do you achieve this you ask?

  • Verbs - Make the reader do what you want by telling them to do it.  Use verbs generously throughout the entire article.
  • Numbers - Use a number to start your titles.  It seems like it would not do much to improve your overall objective but, people love numbers for some reason.  I have seen dramatic results from this technique and you should try the same.
  •  Colorful Adjectives or Adverbs.  Ex. (wonderful, shocking, spectacular) need I say more?
Now you try?

How does your ad copy enlighten or shock readers and get them into motion?
