However, I listened to the likes of Dave Taylor, who suggests you should comment on other blogs about four times per week, and some months back decided I would make more effort to post more comments.  Now, I’m going to highlight my results …

Initially, the response was poor to say the least.  I didn’t really get much traffic and if someone contacted me via my online form, it was to ask me to join their group so they could suck out my brains or, the best one is, they wanted to know whether I built blogs for free!  I won’t even comment on this one.

Anyway, about a month ago, I changed my comment strategy and the results have been nothing short of amazing … Not only have I attracted 3 new clients just from my blog comments, (and I assure you, I’m only doing about 1 a week),  I get better quality comments on my own blog.

Basically, these readers are “noticing” my comment on other blogs and then coming over to my site where they invariably leave a comment that doesn’t just say “nice article,” they’re asking questions or adding to the conversation after reading my blog posts.

But, what did I do…?

I actually only made one very small change …

Instead of using my name “Trish Jones” (that’s me!) in the comment form, I used “The Blogging Queen,” which has become my brand name, thanks to Alex Mandossian.

Now I’m getting attention!  And the people who now come to my blog as a result of reading my comments are more than just browsers who want to see what they can get out of me for free … they’re contributors!  And, I’ve been posting comments on some high authority blogs lately and I know that these readers are serious – not necessarily about blogging – but they’re serious about business … in my view a huge difference.

So if you’ve been posting good quality comments to other blogs and not getting noticed, get yourself an online pen name – one that will get you attention – and see if people don’t notice you.

To your online success,
