Why You Should Comment About Articles You Read on Associated Content

Dale Miller
Have you ever written an article or an essay and posted it online? You probably wonder what people think about it or if anyone even liked it. Sure, writing is a hobby or even a job for many people, but if there wasn't a reader on the other side of that information, then what's the sense of finishing the article. It's like one hand washes the other. You the writer, needs readers or you the reader, needs writers. If you didn't have both, then everyone would have to go back to listening to the radio or watching TV.

Why it is important to comment on articles that you have read on Associated Content:

1. It lets the publisher know you read it.

2. It voices your opinion.

3. It allows the publisher to know what they could do better.

4. It allows the publisher to know if the reader enjoyed his or her article.

5. It could inform the writer if the article has helped someone else.

6. The comment gets you some exposure with your name and face.

7. It makes you feel good to leave some positive feedback about someone's work.

8. It makes the writer feel good about receiving positive feedback from others.

9. It could be a way to gain friendships.

10. It could be a way to gain fans and followers which will give you more page views and comments.

11. You can share ideas with other writers.

All of these creative ways can help you build your hobby or even a career as you add more published content to your library. So, send a comment today and keep the reader/writer relationships on the same page. Try to keep the swearing and the really bad comments to yourself though. It only destroys a writer's confidence and aggravates him or her to the point where there could be arguments flaring. Some people can't take criticism from others unless it is gentle enough or said without offending the writer. The ability to make a comment on Associated Content's articles is an option that everyone should take full advantage of. Besides, its not like these articles take 10 minutes to whip up. Some actually take some clever ideas with a lot of thinking and an hour or more of someone's free time.

    Love this article! I agree. I like to leave them and receive them for sure.

    I agree with the importance of comments, because the audience is who the writer needs feedback from. I often find myself writing more then commenting, but sharing techniques is the best way to become a better writer. Excellent article.

    I like leaving comments on articles that I read. I know that it means a lot to the writer just knowing that someone took the time to read their work.

    That's one of the things I enjoy about Associated Content and the writers here. We're a very polite, dignified bunch. It's so rewarding when someone reads one of your articles and comments on it in some way. And I enjoy reading what other people are writing about. The subjects are endless and interesting.

    I tend to only comment when I have something to say. I feel that if I leave a comment it should be worth reading by the other writer, perhaps thought inducing enough to draw them into my own work. Thanks! I enjoyed the article.
