Everyone wants comments on their blog posts. But how much do you do to invite someone to leave a comment?

One of the easiest and most recognized ways to do it is to simply end your post with a question. After all what is more inviting than that? Make sure its an open ended question not just a closed, Yes / No type question.

But beyond that there are other things you can do within your post to leave room for your readers to comment. Firstly, don’t provide all the answers, even if you think you know them all.  Secondly, give your opinion on something, that is bound to provide someone the opportunity to either agree or disagree with you. Thirdly, admit when you haven’t tried or used something that you are writing about and invite users to submit their views based on experience.

Overall, the more interactive, the more conversational you make your blog posts the more likely you are to get a response.

So, what do you do to get comments?
