Allowing Your Reader to Subscribe for Comments

Allowing Your Reader to Subscribe for Comments

How often do you have readers on your blog leave comments, and you reply asking them a question, and they never come back? You know interacting with your readers is one of the best ways to keep them coming back, and to turn them into buying customers. But how do you get a commenter to come back and read your answers? How will they know you have answered?

One of the best ways to get great interaction with your readers is to offer to email them the answers to their comments on your blog. Of course you don’t want to spend your time only sending an email to one person, if many people are interested in yours, or other readers replies. You can accomplish this task easily, and without much work on your part, by adding the Subscribe to Comments plugin on your blog.

The Subscribe to Comments plugin allows your readers to subscribe to the comment section of your blog. This way they get your answers to their questions directly to their email inbox. Which will help you draw them back into your blog.

The Subscribe to Comments can be installed by following these steps :

  1. Login to your Wordpress blog to access your Dashboard.
  2. On left side, click tiny arrow on Plugins section then click ‘Add New’.
    plugins-add-new
  3. Type ‘Subscribe to Comments’ on search box, hit ‘Search Plugins’ button. Click ‘Install’.
    subscribe-to-comments-search
  4. Click ‘Install Now’ when description window appears.
    subscribe-to-comments-install-now
  5. Wordpress will do the installation for you, don’t forget to click ‘Activate Plugin’
    subscribe-to-comments-activate-plugin
  6. Just like installing thread comments plugin, you don’t have to do anything else after this plugin is activated, unless you want to customize it. To customize, click ‘Subscribe to Comments’ on Setting section (bottom-left of your screen).

Subscribe to Comments definitely will help build up your conversations with your readers, but you should know, sometimes the emails go into your readers Junk or Spam folders. This depends on their settings, and possibly the settings of their ISP. You may want to recommend on your blog that they add the email address to their safe senders list, or into their contacts list. Most times this is not an issue, but if a reader complains, you’ll know your answer.

Your subscribers stay in complete control of their subscription, and can change their settings by returning to your blog.

You will enjoy the benefits and fun of continuing conversations with your blog readers.  Building a two way relationship increases your fun, increases their trust, and by doing so, increases your bottom line profits.
