One of the surest ways to get your content noticed online is by following online conversations and responding accordingly.

Another way to increase traffic around your content is by responding to and engaging comments. Brands that don’t engage in comments often discourage their audience from visiting next time. However, when comments are engaged, it creates trust between the content creator and the audience. When you respond to questions, suggestions, and contributions, it cements your place as an authority. Also, engaging readers’ comments naturally make them happy, thus building trust between you and them.Technique #4: Partner With Other Influencers
Whether it is on Twitter space or Facebook or YouTube Live, partnering with other influencers increases engagement on your post. Aside from this, when you partner with other influencers, their followers can get to know your work, hence expanding your audience more. An example of partnership is when a fellow influencer shares her work with his audience or hosts a webinar together.Register to attend the Connect Nigeria Business Mixer
