According to blogging experts, one of the most common mistakes new bloggers commit is NOT putting a contact form in their websites. I know that as beginners, setting up your blog is hard enough, especially if you have no background in html and CSS. But if you really want to blog for the long haul and create a readership that will last long, doing things right from the very start is definitely worth it.
Not having a contact form in your blog tells your readers two things: one, that you feel you are too smart to be bothered with other people’s dumb ideas; and two, that you don’t give a hoot what others are thinking. A blogger is never too busy to connect with his readers. If you want people to stick around, make them feel like they’re your friends, not just some statistics for your Alexa and Google ranking.
Another reason why you need a contact form is that people want to be listened to. When they read your blog or visit your website, it’s not so much because they are so interested in your ideas but because they want to benefit from it. If you shut them out, they’d go somewhere else. Nothing frustrates people more than when they want to really say something but are not given the chance to express it.
Putting a contact form on your header is one way of telling your readers that you’re willing to hear them out. Remember that your warm approach to your readers is what separates your blog from the boring corporate websites.
