Lesson Learned, Make Sure you have a Contact Form on Your Blog
I learned a very valuable lesson today. It’s something that I always knew, but somewhere along the way I forgot to execute on it consistently.
Every blog or website that you set up needs to have a contact form, and preferably an e-mail address or even a phone number.
I re-learned this little truism today when I was trying to contact a handful of bloggers about advertising on their websites. Several of them did not have contact forms for me utilized in order to contact them.
In a few situations I left a comment on an article deep within their blog adding the postscript that if they would like to delete the comment that could. I did not want to leave a comment that might be perceived as spam, however they left me no other choice to contact them.
As I realized how difficult it was to do business with a few of the sites, I realized that I was not perfect either and that several of my sites did not include a contact form. So now I have to follow my own advice and go clean up my sites that don’t have this very useful function.
It doesn’t cost much in the form of real estate to include a button or link or even a short little word at the bottom of every website in the footer to help your potential customers clients or advertisers find you and do business with you.
