If You Want Comments On Your Blog Comment On Other Blogs
PDF 
The first time someone left a comment on my blog I ran around with excitement, the first time someone bought my book I could barely control myself and the first time someone left a testimonial about said book on Amazon (without me having to stalk them) I literarily died! For each of those acts I was excited. They encouraged me to continue evolving as a writer and a blogger. So whenever I go to a book signing event I try to do the same by buying as many books as I can. When I go on a blog site I strive to leave a comment because I know what it means to the blogger…and even when I am accosted in the parking lot by a random stranger to buy their latest mix-tape compilation, I purchase it (if I have the money). I feel I owe it to them because when I was in their position someone else did the same for me. Funny enough it is this cycle of giving and receiving that has allowed me grow in my personal business.
The sad thing however, is that many people are only interested in the part of the cycle that benefits them financially. They focus on it like a hawk. But from my experience the more you look to give the more you receive. Through commenting on other peoples blogs I have found ways to make my blog better. Through buying other people books I have learnt additional ways of marketing my books. All in all, by patronizing others I have fortuitously learnt ways to get others to patronize me.
So if you want people to read your blog, then read other peoples blogs
If you want people to comment on your blog, comment on other peoples blog
If you want people to attend your events, attend other peoples events
If you want people to buy your products, buy other peoples products
Because, whatever you want for yourself you have to be willing to give it to others
Its the magical cycle of life.

Well said! It is a life of giving to receive. Well said!
Oya give me 2 things:
Relentless builder’s true identity and Cash!
On that note…moving on!
smh…back up your words! Give give give =)
Looking the other way. Now, you are officially stalking me to give. lol
You have inspired me way beyond what i deemed possible. I have been stuck in a writers block and gotten so used to it for a number of years…. i have tried to get out of this and unfortunately crawled back into it after fruitless attempts……. after turning your website into my playground, laughing out loud at your write ups, i have been able to identify with your views and perception of the various experiences that you have been through or dreamt of. I am inspried, propelled and anxious to get my pen on paper…. thank you Ofili!!!!
Yay! That is ubber awesome! Glad I could be of some sort of inspiration =)
I agree. The giving cycle works wonders. It’s amazing how many more opportunities become available to you when you wake up looking to give rather than receive. It works wonders for your psyche too!!

Hi Ofili. Funny I was about to mail you personally for some tips on getting my blog to be read by people and I stumbled on this article
. I subscribed to your blog because I like your our of the top titles and blog content. My blog is over 3 years old and we get comments in trickes and I have just being able to get Linda Ikeji to add it to her blog roll which is undergoing a restructure. When leaving a comment, is it best to use true details?
P.S- blog is http://www.dvsoul.org.uk
Typo correction- meant to say “out of the box” titles
Hi Anuli…checking out your blog currently. Two things I would recommend fixing are:
You do do not have a header called BLOG, if someone arrives to your site, they would find it hard to find where you blogs are located. Secondly, the use or recaptcha is an additional step that reduces comments to your site. I would recommend you check out this article http://www.unmarketing.com/2010/12/07/the-five-words-that-kill-your-blog/
True…what you give automatically revolves back to you and mostly in a greater measure.
Exactomaly!
