I totally agree with Maxie; ask a thoughtful question at the end of your articles. Don’t just ask a generic question such as, “What other tips can you offer?” — Instead, present readers with hypothetical and ethical scenarios around the subject, then ask what they would do to resolve it. Ask how they overcame an obstacle and encourage their answers to be detailed.
Similarly, ask equally thoughtful questions throughout the article. While you don’t want to overwhelm readers with too many questions, asking 1–2 throughout your content can’t hurt if it’s brilliantly related to the subject.
Reply to every comment you receive, as it encourages those readers to keep coming back. They will feel grateful and acknowledged.
Post comments on related blogs. Those blog owners will happily come to your blog and do the same, and some of their readers will follow suit.
Keep your content digestible. This means breaking down paragraphs into 2–3 sentences (tops). Use multimedia to keep it attractive, subheadings, and other things that are visually pleasant. This encourage readers to stick around instead of leaving your article half way through.
Don’t cover overly mundane or obvious things, as most readers will be put off and won’t bother commenting as a result.
Keep practicing all of the above and give yourself some time. You won’t see results immediately, but keep doing it and don’t give up after 2 weeks.
You can start by including questions at the end of your blog posts to nudge your readers into action. Encourage your readers to comment by using strong call-to-actions, like “please comment”, or “let me know what you think”, etc. at the end of your blog post. Also, ask a question when you promote your blog post on social media. Comments and user engagement can boost your SEO. Make it easy for your readers to comment on your blog by using comment tools with social login, that allow your readers to log in with their social media credentials.
Social media plugins for social comments allow your visitors to log in by using their social media credentials in order to comment on your posts. If the comments appear both on your site and on social media streams, this can help to expand the reach of your site and improve overall engagement. By making conversation easy, you’ll generate a lot more of it! You can push your readers’ engagement by letting them subscribe to comments. With a comment subscription you can encourage even more engagement and more replies to comments.
