How To Consistently Add Comments To Other People’s Articles

If you have read any information on building your social marketing profiles and how to create powerful backlinks to your articles — you have no doubt heard that you need to also consistently leave comments on other people’s articles. That is true. But how do you achieve this?

Should you compile a list of your favorite blogs, visit them, and comment on each new article?

Well you could do this but then you would find that you would constantly be submitting comments to the same sites all the time which would be great for those blog owners, but not so much for you. Sure it’s important to build relationships with other writers, and leaving comments will help to achieve this, but it’s also just as important to spread some of that comment love around.

Should you subscribe to blogs that are in your niche, and comment on those articles as they are published?

Again – a nice idea – but it’s also important to get known in lateral niches and areas outside of your immediate niche. Reading articles about how a baker built his cupcake business in one year, may enlighten you about something that you are missing in your business marketing plan.

Should you create a Google Alert on your topic and comment on the articles that you are notified about?

Another good idea, but a better way to consistently add comments to other people’s articles is to comment on every article that you read – naturally. Simple principle I know, but effective.

As you browse other sites looking for information, learning from other like-minded entrepreneurs, reading fun stuff totally out of your niche, reading competitor’s articles — comment on them!

It is the stress-free way of getting a nice cross section of backlinks to your website, while contributing in a natural and real way to the works of other writers. Very good writer’s karma:)

I love the idea of commenting on other's websites and try to when I get a chance. The only problem is when I sit at the computer to write an article or plan to spend an hour marketing my work, I get so caught up in reading so many great articles, I forget to leave a comment AND I've spent over my self allotted quota of computer time.

That's great that you have designated a certain amount of time for writing and marketing, but it literally takes about 30-45 more seconds to leave a comment. Although I know what you mean -- it takes a minute to get use to it. But once you start - it just becomes habit.

Great ideas and natural comments on articles you read anyway, and find interesting, are the REAL way to build staying power! Great post!

Absolutely. Sometimes I think many of us get so caught up in commenting on articles that are in our niche we forget to comment on ALL things that we find useful. Thanks for dropping by Walethia:)
