Hello guys and girls, I have been noticing something lately. When I share on Social Media the link of a post I wrote on my website, people comment on the Social Media post inst
As I'm not that big on social media yet I would have never thought that this is a problem. Armlemt seems to have the right idea though, and I'll be checking out the training that she's suggesting. Good luck!
In the description of the article that you leave on your Facebook page, you can always say something like, "Kindly leave your comments about this article on the website." Also, a stronger CTA to leave comments at the end of your article would help as well. I always ask readers to "Continue the conversation about (subject) in the comments below."
Bo Tipton (botipton) has a great training going on where he talks about how to make your CTAs really stand out. It's the Gogetter's training. You can start the training at any time. He asks that you continue your Certification or Bootcamp training while doing his. It's really great training to complement the training you are already doing.
People on social media don't understand that comments add to the content. I hope this helps.

Hi Anita, thank you for the helpful suggestions!
I'm going to do that from now on - ask them on Facebook's post to comment directly on my website. And strengthen up the CTA at the end of the blog post as well.
I've been meaning to start watching Bo's training videos for quite some time now. Glad to know he covers the CTA subject as well!
Have a great weekend :)
You're welcome! If you are going to start working on your CTAs, then you should watch Bo's training. It is the first subject he covers. I started a week ago and I am already over halfway through.
Hello Nicky!
Interesting observation. I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm still not very active on social media.
The plugin is a good solution (didn't know about that), but it is not of advantage for the site speed.
I suppose you have to be patient and the more you post, the more intrigued the people will be and come and visit your website in the end.
Wish you a huge and steady flow of website users!!!
:-)
Hi Pernilla, thanks for commenting!
Yes, the site speed is the reason I'm hesitant to install the relevant plugin. I guess you're right, posting more frequently will attract more organic traffic and then people would find the website directly and not through the post's link on Social Media. So I would have more comments on my actual blog post.
Thank you and I wish the same to you!! Enjoy your weekend :)
Hi, Nikoletta.
I don't think that there is much you can do. In my own experience, people comment on the few teasing lines and they don't even go to my post.
Other than asking them to comment on your website or the plugin, I haven't got an answer for you.
Sorry.

Hi Hennie,
thanks for commenting! Anita's suggestion to ask them in the description of the social media post is great, I'll follow that since I don't want to encumber the site speed with another plugin.
But I have experienced that too and it's frustrating - when people just comment on the teasing lines of the post and not even click the link, let alone read the post!
So in the social media post, I try to hint at something that they'll discover only by reading the blog post.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
I have read her comment, Nikoletta and I agree. Hopefully, it will work. Let's try it and see.
Very busy weekend so far, but it is great. Thanks
Hello Nicky, thank you for your interesting question, personally, I would be inclined to install the plug-in, although I do hear your question! I would be interested to hear what other people say about your question, so I will follow this thread.
Incidentally, how is Greece? My wife comes from near Thessaloniki, so we are very privileged to be able to visit fairly frequently, it's only a 3-hour flight from the UK, which is great.
Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks for commenting, Roy!
I like Anita's suggestion, that in the description of the article I could ask people to leave their comments on my website.
Thessaloniki is my hometown by the way! I was back for the summer/autumn and I loved it, I hadn't visited for a long time. Glad you have the chance to enjoy Greece so often, and to be so close to Halkidiki in the summer :)
Hope you're enjoying your weekend too.
Good morning Nicky,
As you mentioned Anita's idea sounds like a good idea, definitely worth a try.
It's a small world sometimes, it's interesting that you come from Thessaloniki, I really enjoy being able to go to Greece regularly! We have been down to the first finger of Halkidiki several times, but we would like to try the second finger very soon. Fortunately, my wife's family live outside the city on the Halkidiki side, which is great. I really enjoy getting up early and sitting on the patio and looking across the fields and to the sea before the heat of the day comes, it's a great place to read a good book and probably to work online!
Enjoy your day.

Comments on your site's post instead of the shared sm link?

I have that happen many times. Some people just don't know how are where to leave it. They rather leave it the most easiest way.
Hi Louisa, yes that's true, and they don't know that leaving comments on the website itself will help us with ranking, since comments add to the website's content!
