When paying close attention Sitecomments becomes more than a comment exchange

The past two weeks have been interesting as I begin the second month of SAC.

While Jaaxy have been in a Fritz lately I decided to do some other assignments on the task list. The ones that stood out to me was engagement driven. Here is where I have had a lot of issues with my writing. Not being able to capture my audience in a way that calls for conversation.

I want to build relationships and that would be pretty hard to do without engagement.

Sitecomments have been a very great learning tool for me to get a grasp on ways to be engaging. With today’s blogpost I wanted to share with you how I am learning how to be thoughtful with my content and how my readers will give me much more ways to gain authority in my niche.

This won’t be a long drawn out blog so I will get straight to the point.

I have a wide range of interest so I can talk about anything that sitecomments give me. in fact, that's what gets me in trouble most of the time. I talk too much.

I first must read the article to have an opinion on the topic. My reading revealed that some blogs were effective at getting me to read all of its content, while others didn't leave any room for discussion.

Just because they were helping with providing a solution to a problem or teaching me something I am interested in I read it the whole way through. I am now more likely to return when I have more questions as long as the author stay consistent with the help.

2 things that stood out the most first thing was so many blogs miss the opportunity to keep the conversation going. Most of my comments would be in discussion form and I'd just get a thank you for stopping by. I remember I used to do that when I didn't have anything to add to the discussion.

There is nothing wrong with asking your reader questions about what they are leaving on your page. Investigate your audience to dig out where you can be a continued help. There may be a reader who just reads the comments for information. I know the comment section is the first place I go when in search online for help.

I am here to help and help only for me. There may be other writing styles that are effective I'm just not that advanced to know what that is yet.

Second thing that stood out there was a couple of times for the opportunity to inject comments with intent and they slipped by leaving money on the table. If you don't know what I mean by injecting intent take some time to watch the training posted below.

These things made me realize I have been doing the same with my content.

My next step was to create a post to discuss why a person may need to focus on financial freedom. Once I completed the post and published it I then immediately requested some comments.

When requesting comments I'm noticing way more engaging, back-and-forth & valuable comments. Kudos to the platform for handing me some great commenters who gave me more ideas for upcoming topics.

One comment alone gave me three ideas for new articles that would be very helpful in my niche. A big thank you to the members who left the remarkable comments.

I'm finding out that the comment section is just as important as the content. It's vital to understand your audience and to really understand what they are seeking. I'm not sure what possess me to attack this task looking for a dual meaning but I am glad I did.

Helpful content is interesting to someone in search of answers to questions they may have.

That's it!

Now I'm on to creating content with purpose thanks for reading!

P.s I learned how to make cannabutter and how to care for a coleus plant from some very good helpful blogs. I plan to put those lessons to use asap!
