One-Minute Writing Tips
Comments Can Lead To Follows
This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but…
“99% of you aren’t replying to comments and it’s killing you.” — Gary Vaynerchuk, Soundcloud
I have shared a little about this before. But I think it is important to respond to every one of the responses and comments people leave you.
Truth be told, I’m not always super good at this.
However, the highest engagement I get on anything I write comes when I am responding to those who have opinions, encouragement, and arguments with my writing.
We need to be responding to those to comment on our writing.
But, we cannot leave it there. We need to take it a step further. And to be honest, I got this from Tom Kuegler. We need to jump over to the commenter’s profile. Read a couple of their pieces, comment, and then follow them.
This simple act can lead to followers for you too.
Most of all, it will lead to connections that could make a huge difference for you in the future. So, make sure you stop and comment back and follow those who are interested.
