Use Questions to Enhance Reader Engagement on Your Blog

[Durkin]

heh, a video about engagement and not one question has been answered here!

I love the stuff you do Darren, but I struggle to see the engagement on your blog sometimes.

Thanks Darren. I find that sometimes the biggest challenge is helping people get over their timidity. I think the key is that people feel you're approachable and that you're interested in what they have to say. You do it well by writing in a very human way -- you're open about your own experiences and challenges, and you're honest about mistakes you've made along the way. Great stuff.

I have not been keeping up with my blog, been so busy. But I am also working on more of a site than a blog at the moment. I wrote down your tips, I think I can implement that into the site as well. Allow visitors not only to see my work, but have a way for them to share their thoughts, feelings and their own work if they wish.

Always looking for that new way of interactivity for the viewer. I've been told add to a game section, which I might!

excellent ideas, I normally ask my readers their thoughts, and if they have any other examples or ideas that I might of missed.

Nice video Darren. You're 100% right. Giving readers the chance to have their own input is vital. I know, I read many blogs. Keep it up!
