Unique Outsourcing Tip: Use Quality Writers as Blog Commenters

I’m trying to outsource more to use my money and time more effectively. One of the things I’m outsourcing is blog commenting. The company where I work as an online marketer has a couple sites in different niches. I don’t know all the niches well. For me to leave quality comments, I would have to spend time getting familiar with the niches. Niche research takes time so I put up an ad on various outsourcing sites and webmaster forums looking for blog commenters.

I tried a couple people but they were unreliable and their comments were not very good. They were not familiar with the niches. Their comments were very general.

But later, a blogger answered my ad. I was familiar with her because we trade votes on a social media voting site. I was surprised she answered my ad because her own blog was in my niche.

Anyways, she’s doing a great job because she’s passionate about her niche. She writes quality blog posts on her blog and it’s getting some traffic. For me, she often leaves comments of more than 3 sentences even though I only asked for 2-3 sentence blog comments. Her comments are high quality. The other bloggers respond to them and we’re getting traffic from her comments. Also, she makes our site look good. Our brand is improving because of her comments.

I’m learning that quality writers and bloggers make excellent blog commenters.

So, if you want to promote your site on the grassroots level, think about hiring a quality writer/blogger to leave blog comments. Find someone who’s passionate about your niche. Be willing to pay extra. If you’re worried about the lack of connection between your blog and their comments, ask them to read your blog so they know where you’re coming from. Also, you can even have them post on your blog once or twice a month.

This same strategy should work for forum marketing too because it’s similar to blog commenting.
