Stop Begging For Comments!



When students are given a project to create a blog and are required to have involved content. They usually misinterpret it as the blogs must have a lot of comments. What the students often do is to beg their fellow students to comment on their blogs. This begging practice is strongly objected by all professors because the begging is a sign of desperation for grades. No professor wants to be the cause of students' desperation; that makes them look bad in the eyes of students.

But if the student gives the commentors something in return, it's no longer a beg. It's an exchange and exchange is the core of business: all parties get something in return for what they do.

So STOP begging for comments. Instead, give your commentors incentive.

In this turbulence economic times, thousands of people get laid off. What people are looking for when they are jobless and the economy is bad? Answer: They are looking for a new job or another way to get rich.

Here is how you can get tons of comments without begging anyone!

Create an email account. Set auto responder for that email which has your blog URL and download link for a report.

Post ad on online classifieds sites, under "job" section, title "Comment on blog to get FREE quality report". Tell people that the report is 5 page high quality report about [how to get a new job, how to win an interview, how to write resume; how to get rich working at home, how to be your own boss, how to get financial freedom from home...]. Put your blog URL and the email address you just created. Ask them to email you with the subject line which is the 2nd word of the 3rd paragraph of certain post. They will immediately receive a reply with download link.

Now just sit back and enjoy comments rolling in, let your email auto responder handle the work.

You may question where do I get a report and give them for free?
Ok, head yourself to EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com or ArticleCity.com. Search on the topic "job", "working from home"... Grab the 5 most viewed articles in a topic. Paste them all into a pdf file and now you have a free 5 page quality report. Upload the report. Remember to include the resource box of the article.

Before you think that this tactic scams people who are desperate then QUIT thinking so, because these are quality information. You give your commentors quality information (from the articles) and the sources that they can further explore (from the resource box). You actually do them a favor. You may have people thank you for that.

I hope this helps college students reading this blog in their blogging project. If you find this helpful (which I'm sure it is), please leave your comments :)
