It has been nearly months I am not really active blogging. I try to find so many excuses and reason to stay away from blogging. Frankly, I am just telling lies to myself. After not being active for so long, lack of confidence starts to fill in the space. It gives more pressure to stop blogging. The only positive side that really helps me to write back is comments. When I read those not replied comments, I immediately start replying it. This gives me ideas to write new blog post with totally unique title. Instead of seeking what to write ideas on blog, the comments from readers just gives some great ideas for us to write new blog posts.
Keeping close communication with our readers bring back our visitors and turning them into loyal visitors. I used to reply all the comment on my blog without even realizing it. Now, I can see clearer picture of why we all should reply comments in our blog. Related questions from commentators give us motivation to research further in order to provide the answer to our commentators. Learning process is boring but if we can help others while learning, it is motivating. Plus, I do not want to lose contact with all my loyal readers and commentators.
If you are tired of blogging and your mind is empty of topics to write, don’t seek answers from search engine on topics to write on your blog. Instead, take the first step to reply all the comments in your blog. This is a great start to write more user related posts. I’m sure some of your commentators might ask some questions or share their experience that may bring some new ideas. I guess that is the fire that helps me writing at least one blog post a day for months. I am sure it will help us all to keep blogging for long period of time which will increase popularity of our name and blog.

I really love to read a comment may it is bad or good
Comments are addictive. Sometimes, I spend the whole day reading, replying, posting comments.
I think getting to know your readers is brilliant its always good to see who you are talking too verbally and physically.
Yes, it is. Especially, when we run a business. It is good to communicate with our potential clients. Plus, it is the only way we can be motivated to blog more.
I agree with you on that.
Replying comments motivates me too, and it also adds the benefit to increase traffic, turning visitors into loyal ones, and attiring others too. (Besides, I get ideas for my characters’ blogs too, hehe ^^)
It really help us in blogging. I think all serious bloggers should reply their comments too.
Some of my commenters don’t get the replies in their emails though, so I only reply to them directly by email or by commenting on their blogs. I guess there’s something wrong with my threaded comments plugin :-/
Yeah. Maybe, you should try changing the plugin.
i really spent much time away of blogging, i don’t know why. i lost the homer to blog, but i’m back today so i hope i remember my last months .
We are on the same boat. I started by replying comments to get the same old motivation back. You can try it out. I’m sure you will feel the same too.
Not all comments needs a reply, but as a blogger we should always consider the opinions of the visitors in our blog, it just simply means that our topic was appreciated by them.
Yes, it is. But, there are comments only meant to get a backlink with one or two words type. This kind of comments should not get published.
Totally agree with you sister. Please check my article. Its about benefits for commenting activities.

Nice writing. Checked and commented.
Nice way to put it. The reverse should also be true. Finding motivation in making comments.
Happy Holidays!
Yeah. We must find some motivation to reply huge number of comments daily basis.
