Blogging: A Participation Act

As I have been looking up and review articles and content on participation. I came across an article that emphasizes the importance of participation while blogging. It is not enough to merely just post and then complain that no one is looking at your blog. I myself have fallen into this mishap. I still find it challenging to have enough time to read others blogs, post on my own and research material.
But as this article states that you can't go crying to mommy that your blogs doesn't have many hits if you haven't taken the time on others.

The best way to gain attraction is through commenting on others. It of course needs to be something that you are interested in and would like to get involved in the conversation about.

The more participation you put into others...and you can at the end of your comment ask them to take a look at yours, the more participation on your blog you will receive back. Participation is key for blogging, FB or other social medias. You know those who are constantly updating their status on FB are usually the ones that are commenting on others as well.

I think this principle can apply to almost anything you want to be successful at or get feedback/recognition for. If you want to start a business, well you better get out there and start looking at others, making comments and drop by's to theirs to help gain your recognition so they remember you. If you want to make friends, then you better start talking with them and be interested in what they are doing in order for them to turn around and do the same.
