Grow a more dynamic blog by encouraging your visitors to interact with you and each other. Read below for a few easy tips to make an interactive blog.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Encourage Comments - It's actually proven visitors are more likely to comment if you simply ask them to leave a comment.

  2. Step 2

    Ask Questions - Ask the question in the title of the post. You can also ask questions in the middle of your blog. Either way, people like to answer questions.

  3. Step 3

    Be Open-Ended - Don't hog all of the "good points". Don't cover every angle of your post. People will state the obvious, let them.

  4. Step 4

    Respond to Comments - Interact with others who leave comments. You're allowed; it's acceptable to leave comments on your own blog. Show your readers their comments are valued by creating a sense of an active community.

  5. Step 5

    Don't be a Know-It-All - Allow your gaps of knowledge to be an open door to comments.

  6. Step 6

    Ignite Controversy - Use caution, you don't want your visitors at each others throats - or do you?

  7. Step 7

    With all of that being said, what do you think? Are commentsthe tell-tale sign of a blogs success?
