Right from the beginning, let your readers know that it is perfectly fine to get involved and interact with you.
Here are three ways you can do that:
– Enable comments
– Being open for guest posting
– Having a simple way for your readers to contact you with their questions, complaints or suggestions
Be open to reader feedback and make it clear that you are open for reader interaction. Let them know that you are open to disagreements just like you are to positive feedback.
Make sure a reader can share their disagreements with you just like you encourage them for the positive feedback. It helps in building trust and ensuring reader loyalty. People follow those bloggers who they feel, could help them.
Being open and available for interaction does not mean you stay online round the clock. Let your readers know how and when it’s best to contact you.
