This is one part of blogging that youâd think is a âno-brainerâ⌠but believe it or not Iâve actually been to some blogs where I couldnât find a phone number or even a way to send a message to the blogger??!! WeirdâŚ
Isnât the goal of having a blog to attract and have people contact you to join your business or to buy your products or services? How in the world are people suppose to ask you questions or get more info if you donât make it overly simple and obvious to do so?
You can decide for yourself if you want to give out your phone number or not. I do and have had people be shocked when they reached me at my home number and not reach a recording or something.
My goal is to talk to as many people as possible. I donât buy leads, so the next best thing is to have people call me, right? Well, that will only happen if you donât scare or chase people away by selling your potions, pills, or lotions in their face.
By making it easy and by having attractive or magnetic content on your blog you truly have the opportunity to be a top producer for whatever you decide to market on your blog. I have been month after month for my main business opportunity and most people contact me through my blog for more info or just message me that theyâre ready to get started. Pretty simple in my book as long as you give them a simple way to do so.
Donât over look this basic and important component to your blog.
Here for your success,
PS Being easily accessible is really important, and having a place like a blog as your hub of all your online activity is crucial. As more traffic flows to you and the more you give in value with your content, there is no way around not attracting people who will want to join you in business.
As you can see on my right side-bar I also have a way for people to call me through my Google Voice number, too.
10 Comments and Pings on Blogging For Beginners: “What is the best way to set up my blog for people to contact me about my products and services? “
Kary – it’s been a while since I’ve connected and your blog had me laugh out loud.
Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us. I remember our first conversation and you gently telling me that I didn’t want my ad on the front page of my blog! LOL. Although experienced in the industry, new to blogging, and it’s people like you that allow people like me to get it fast! Thanks Kary!

I thought it was high time I came again to your blog. The last I was here I did not even know how to leave a comment! Is it not amazing how much sharing, learning and growing can do in a short space of time. Just to say thank you, man! Keep the flag flying high!

Hi Kary,
thanks for this tip. I have my contact information available on my blog posts, but I haven’t created a contact form yet. Creating one makes me more accessible, that’s what it’s all about.
Take care

I’ve been including my contact info on my blog for a while. It really is important to put yourself out there and make yourself accessible by including your contact information.
Thank you so much for reminding us about this, Kary!

Hey Kary,
Good post since the obvious is often over looked. So many people blogging haven’t thought out the whole process of monetizing yet and are simply using blogging to release their inspiration. Hopefully people grasp the opportunity of their knowledge and how they could benefit more from it by reading posts like this.

Hi Kary,
Simple, but very important concept here. It is funny when you run into someone’s site but there is no way of contacting them. It’s too bad, because putting in such time and effort should be rewarded.

Hey Kary!
Good post my friend on the contact page. If people can contact you, yeah you’re going get pitched at, but through that you will also find people looking to work with you and connect with you honestly for other reasons than just pitching you.
Least that is my experience with it!
To life,

Absolutely, Gregory! It’s about that easy… In fact both happened today.
Got pitched but also have a new partner. Gotta love it!

Kary….great post….simple to the point and I am totally amazed at how often I see sites where there is no way to contact the owner. Last time I checked it is pretty difficult to pick up new clients/business/opportunities when people can’t contact you.
To Your Success,
Glenn
