Encouraging People to Comment?

[Charge]

How do you encourage people to comment on your blog posts?

I don't typically people just do it when they feel like they need to. If it's something I need them to I ask them to comment what they think.

It's hard to say how to do it. It's something that just happens.

I would make a comment posting contest as a way to encourage people to post comments. Maybe have a raffle for the people who comment for a giftcard.

That's a great idea! I could also see that bringing in more traffic.

Hard to come up with a sure-fire solution. Like people have said, contests, give-aways, raffles, prizes, coming up with awesome content.

Yep! My idea is to raffle off usernames or comment and give them gift cards.

At the end of the blog post sometimes I will ask a question because I feel like sometimes that will make them want to comment. Talk about a personal experience they had or something like that.

It's difficult to pin point exactly what pushes someone to want to post on a blog. I feel that having fresh, new, unique and interesting content will help as if people see something they are interested in they will feel the need to comment on it. It's all about pushing the content out and seeing what works best.

I think it is difficult for most people to keep their content relevant. I know that it is difficult for me to keep up with fads or trends.

The best thing to do is give them something that they want to comment on. This of course means knowing your audience. See what they have commented on before and try to pick up a pattern there.
