Relationship Building Begins with a Blog Comment

I am often asked to clarify what “exactly” it is that I do for a living. Unfortunately, it would take a long sit down to explain (as my current clients would attest). However, I can share one of the many things that I did today. Today I taught a blogging client the importance of commenting and developing relationships with other complimentary interest bloggers.

When it comes to commenting - its important to have something to say - and be sincere in your comment. Avoid negative “ranting.” And by all means, link back to things you’ve written about -but only if they’re appropriate. The more you comment on other blogs - the more likely you will be remembered and the more readers will follow your links to your blog. Extra bonus - you may get asked to guest write. (You never know!)

So, if you are reading my blog entitled “If You Build It He/She Will Come” you will notice 2 comments that have no relevance to the post – but I like to show people how to do something by actually doing it.

(Don’t think that this is all I do in an hour session. We worked on some sales tips to warm up a “gatekeeper,” analyzed website traffic and decided on what to focus on in the New Year. All in a day’s work for the marketing girl…)
