This can be done by linking to the comment section at the end of your post. Noah Kagan's blog, is a great example of this in action.

You can link to #commentform if you are a WordPress user but don't have Disqus installed.

Your visitors will see the URL as follows:

http://www.YourBlogURL.com/post-permalink/#commentform

just need to add #commentform



5. Reduce distractions so that you can focus on your content

This topic has been discussed online many times before and it is still relevant today. If there are too many choices, people will choose the easiest option. Take a look at your blog. What are you doing to help you reach your goals?

  • You can simply hide low comment counts
  • Social proof was something I mentioned earlier and it is an important one.
  • Avoid drawing attention to your comments if you don't get many visitors to your blog.

6. Think about your audience.

Do you know your audience well? It's worth looking at who you really want to reach if you don't get many comments or if you're getting the wrong type of people commenting on you blog.

Your comments will improve if you understand your audience and are able to focus on the right areas.

7. Make sure your content is well-received.

You are probably already doing this, but I have included it for completeness.

Look at your content. If you don't, what is stopping you from improving it? What can you do about it?

8. Ask Readers for their Opinions

Asking your readers for their opinions is one of the best ways to get them to comment.

You can ask an open-ended question at the end of your blog post, but it is important to ensure that it doesn't lead to a yes/no response.

Always try to create a discussion in your comments. The more people talk, the better.
