It’s a great feeling when people are really involved in your blog, and show their interest and appreciation by actively participating.

The best way to motivate your visitors to comment is to offer them information that’s inspiring, helpful, and compelling. But it also helps to develop an interactive, dynamic relationship with them. And one way to do that is to reward them.

WP Incentive is a plugin that will do just that. You can offer them a free digital download for their first, tenth, and twentieth comments (WP Incentive is fully customizable, so you can decide on the appropriate interval).

The plugin also comes preloaded with four digital gifts, which again, you can customize with items of your own choice. Setup and configuration are a snap, and there’s a video that steps you through the easy setup procedure. And the beauty of this plugin is that once setup, everything is fully automated. Just set it and forget it.

Make sure that the gifts that you add to the plugin have value – there’s already way too much digital junk out there, and you don’t want to lose the trust of your visitors by ‘rewarding’ them with something valueless. Make it special, and useful.

You can check it out here. Right now it’s less than ten bucks, and they have an affiliate program as well.

I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I got another crazy offer from John this morning – a set of 23 list-building videos for again, just $1. Again, I scoured the sales page to see if I could figure out the ‘catch’ – …click here to read more
