Being called out on a doing something stupid can be emberrassing.  But it can also be a good way to get people to notice you and help get you noticed by others.

Whether your putting up a new blog post or a new YouTube video you want comments on it.  The more comments you get, the more that people are interacting and being engaged by what you’re doing.  It also helps get you in the honors or rankings section if you get a lot of comments.  And on Blogs it creates conversation as well, plus it can help with getting you found because blog comments are also indexed by search engines.

And one good way to ensure you get comments is to screw up on something.  People will love to call you out on it by commenting.  In my Nincompoop News YouTube video I was talking about someone in Oregon and apparently pronounced the state incorrectly.  I got 5 people commenting just to tell me that I said it wrong and try to phonetically write it out for me.  That then sparked comments from others who wanted to defend the way I said it.  In the end it was actually a good thing for me because it created more conversation & interactivity on my video.

Here’s today’s vlog on this topic:

What do you think? Have you made a mistake in a blog post or video and received a bunch of comments about it?
