How to be More Productive with Your Contact Page
In as much as blogging involves creating connections with other people, a contact page would be a vital tool on your blog.
With some WordPress plugins like Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, or Ninja Forms, you can create a beautiful contact form, though you still need to do certain things to ensure this does not turn into workload for you.
Early in blogging, only a few contact emails usually came in weekly. Sometimes, you wouldn't even receive more than 2-5 emails throughout the week. In those days, you could process your contact emails without hurting your efficiency.
As your blog grows over time, the contact emails that come daily will increase in number and this will create an extra job for you. It may also impact on your blogging activities negatively. You will discover that the processing of these emails will be taking much of your time such that it may prevent you from focusing on what matters.
As you continue blogging, you'll start experiencing some challenges with processing your contact emails such as:
- Receiving repeated emails that may lead to responding to similar questions repeatedly or not responding at all.
- Receiving emails that may lead to responding in a hurry.
- Receiving loads of crucial and non-crucial contact emails, which leads to double work on your own part. It means you have to check out all contact emails to treat and respond to them in order of importance.
- Receiving loads of questions from readers who would have got fully-satisfied if they had logged in to the site and checked things out themselves.
So, if you're just starting out with a blog, you won't ever need to wait to experience these challenges before you should follow the simple steps I'm giving you right here.
WOW, another great training, with very helpful information - thank you!
