...most sincere appreciation to anyone who gives me a few minutes of thought on this one. What would motivate you to engage on my blog page? Money? Prizes? I need ideas!

Hey guys,

So on Facebook, for a lot of years now, easily over a decade, I've engaged in political discourse with a significant response from a high percentage of different Facebook friends.  I've moved my political posting over to Blogger in an effort, frankly, to see if I can turn blogging into a vehicle that may get me known and/or turn into a minor income stream. 

I know I say things that interest people, people who agree.  People who disagree.  I know people like to engage in responding, debating, dialoging with each other as a result.  I've have Facebook responses to an original post number in the hundreds, with a friends list of maybe 700 people or even less people when the posts were restricted to my own private politics Facebook group.  That is, in the past my posts haven't been exposed to very many people, yet there's been enough interest to generate large quantities of dialog.

Yet since moving to Blogger and posting 10s of posts, no one has responded on Blogger.  It should be pretty easy.  For Facebook users, you click the post to go read my article, and within the article, at the bottom somewhere there is a link to respond.  You shouldn't have to register for anything.  You just type a response.

Yet I'm still waiting for response #1 on Blogger.  My own family has not thrown me a bone.  lol  I would like to dwarf Rush Limbaugh or Rachael Maddow some day, but it start with this: can I simply get just one response?  I think to myself: does no one want to be the famous first responder?  I find it hard to believe?

So this post is meant to ask for your help?  What can I do on a limited budget to motivate more Blogger responses?  Can I pay something per response?  Can I create some kind of contest?  I need help from a marketing expert I guess, ideally.  What can I do so that you, my Facebook followers and frequent comments (as a first step) will continue to do what you always did and respond as you have always responded, but over on Blogger?  I will generate my own ideas in any case, but most sincere appreciation to anyone who gives me  a few minutes of thought on this one.  Respond to this in any way you want.  Send me an email.  Maybe use it as your first Blogger response.  Respond however you will.  But to those who respond somehow I will truly be grateful!  I need to get this thing moving!
