Writing articles can take time and a lot of work, especially when you may have needed to do research for your article and had to go over it so many times to ensure you are happy with it and there is nothing missing. Due to that you really would love to see feedback on your articles and even opinions as well and that can sometimes be difficult to get.

Writing an article that offers information but also offers questions or some way to encourage readers to want to comment on the article is a good way to start. Finding ways to engage the reader.

Asking members to check out your latest article and asking them for feedback is also another great way to get activity on your articles as well.
