Participatory posting is a type of post that not many bloggers use. Dare not to say everything to create a community around your blog.

After a long time I launched a participatory post again yesterday . It's been a while since I last did it. Since it's a format I like, it was time to get back to this type of post. I find it strange that so few bloggers use this technique to create stronger connections with their readers.

What is a participatory post and how does it work?
The participatory post, as the name suggests, seeks a higher job phone numbers level of interaction with the reader. Specifically, it seeks to obtain contributions that may go beyond the blogger's knowledge. Creating this type of entry is not very complicated.
The question to answer : To engage your readers, you need to ask them a question. What do you want to know about them? To increase the likelihood of getting a response, put a question at the beginning of the title and at the end of the post.
Two opposing points of view : the idea is not to give an answer but to provide information that generates debate. One may agree or disagree with what you write. Without a basis, it is difficult for a user who comes to your blog to give an opinion, since it is easier to comment on existing information provided by the blogger.
Collaborate to get exposure : if your blog still has very few visitors, it is difficult to launch a participatory post. In this case, you have to collaborate with other bloggers to help you achieve a minimum level of diffusion to generate visits to the entry.
Publish the results : when you publish the summary of the participatory post, don't forget to mention outstanding contributions. This way you show that you appreciate what readers have contributed and give visibility to what they have participated in. This can be an additional motivation to participate in this type of action again.
