Well written and absolutely correct in all you said. It’s impressive that it took you 9 comments before you sent an email and got an interview with Michael and it took you total 32 comments in 2 years before you wrote for his blog! Clearly this shows you do know his blog and his readers so you know what to write about to get his readers involved. From the comments on your post, this is really happening.

Well done, Nick, for a good piece!

Hi Nick!

I especially like the “tactic” of commenting on comments. Frequently, the commenter amplifies and takes the topic down another interesting venue for discussion. I would caveat that by saying don’t hijack the conversation by talking about last years Oscar winners. If the post was about media and technology, the owner of the blog would appreciate staying on topic. I learned the hard way 🙂

Interesting post! Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

I myself try to always reply on all the comments, but I usually end up mostly replying on comments that isn’t just compliments, or questions and statements that hasn’t been said or asked in the comments for that specific article yet.

Professional means I get paid, where do I send the bill? Lol

It could be a number of things, Bradley. When I was first starting about three years ago, I was a commenting fiend. I would comment on nearly every post trying to make connections with people. Eventually those people started coming to my site, and if they liked what they read, then they’d comment. It might just be a traffic issue. I’ve noticed that only about .1% of people who read the article end up commenting.

Sure thing, Jamie. You’re a professional commenter. 😉 I’m also a fan of Pat’s site.

Hey Mona, writing in all caps is perceived as though you’re yelling at the reader. Also, it’s a popular spam commenting strategy because it catches your eye. And, yeah, I make a conscious effort to better myself everyday. That’s why I read so much.
