2. Provide answers to likely or frequently-asked questions
Blogging leads to a certain stage in life that you won't even get much time to respond to all the contact emails you're receiving. This means you will have to start ignoring some contact emails. The solution to this problem is to limit the number of contact emails you process daily, weekly and monthly. The more contact emails you receive daily, the more emails you will shrug off!
The more likely you're able to prepare answers to possible questions, the more relieved you're going to be when similar questions are asked over and over again. You will never need to answer such questions again and again. The readers will get their responses on time and you too will have saved some time attending to individual questions at all times.
You need some steps to take in order to get this done:
- Batch the contact emails you receive at all times, and figure out what questions are similarly and repeatedly asked.
- The next step right here is to provide detailed answers to these sorted-out questions right on your contact page to avoid responding to a lot of similar and individual questions over and over again.
However, if it happens that an answer does not provide enough details to what other people might want to ask, then try and publish a post on that particular question and link this post to it in the FAQ's list. That post could be a source of getting better rankings in Google.
Append a note to your contact page and urge your readers to make use of your blog's search box signifying to them that they could get more detailed answers to their questions in some of the posts already published on the blog.
And if you've created a drop-down menu for your "Reasons for sending a contact email" list, then you should logically treat the different reasons for which the readers might want to send you a contact email.
WOW, another great training, with very helpful information - thank you!
